In response to the numerous threats and abusive comments I received today following my press conference yesterday following the Bangladesh Supreme Courts verdict on Sayedee I would say the following. Any person, irrespective of what they are charged with, deserves a fair trial otherwise the process will have little meaning and will not contribute to justice. Attacking an accuseds lawyer for expressing legitimate concerns demonstrates an ignorance of the rule of law. If Bangladesh wants to contribute to long term stability, reconciliation and the development of international criminal justice it needs to change its strategy. Attacking the legal representatives of those accused of war crimes is quite frankly stupid and further demonstrates the mob rule that prevails in Bangladesh. This must change.
