The Daily Star reports that The International Crimes Tribunal-1 in Bangladesh yesterday extended time until March 4 for two journalists of The Economist to reply to a show-cause notice it had issued earlier.
The three-member tribunal headed by Justice ATM Fazle Kabir fixed the new date following a time petition from the counsel of the two journalists.
The tribunal on December 6 last year served the notice on Chief Editor Rob Gifford and South Asia Bureau Chief Adam Roberts of the British magazine asking them to reply within three weeks why proceedings under section 11 (4) of the International Crimes (Tribunals) Act, 1973, would not be taken against them.
