Ian Martin, an special envoy of the United Nations’ (UN) Secretary General, yesterday assured Awami League (AL) President and coming Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for providing all possible support for bringing war criminals under trial.
Martin pledged this during a meeting with Sheikh Hasina at the Sudha Sadan residence at Dhanmondi.
Talking to reporters diplomat Mohammad Zamir, who was present in the meeting, said, “He gave the assurance as Sheikh Hasina seeks UN support to bring war criminals under trial.”
Bringing the war criminals to justice is one of the main points of the AL manifesto announced before the parliamentary election in which helped the party to secure votes in most of the constituencies in the parliamentary elections.
Coming out from the meeting, Ian Martin told reporters that he came to congratulate Sheikh Hasina on her poll victory.
“It’s my privilege to congratulate Sheikh Hasina and the people of Bangladesh on this democratic occasion,” he said.
But he declined to respond to any question regarding the election and claim of BNP about the election result. “We have sent our separate team to observe the election,” he said.
