The country's law-and-order situation is expected to improve after the International Crimes Tribunal gives its verdict in some cases filed against top officials of the ousted Sheikh Hasina-led government, the tribunal's Chief Prosecutor Md Tajul Islam said today (24 February).
"Once the International Criminal Tribunal passes its verdicts on some cases, the gloating and arrogance of the leaders of the fallen government will stop. The law and order situation will improve," he said while talking to reporters after attending a workshop on law enforcement, with emphasis on human rights and the environment amid the country's changing circumstances, at the Primary Teachers Training Institute in Rajshahi.
"We would like to assure the nation that we are hopeful that the trial of several cases will be completed before December," he also said.
