T Kumar, Advocacy Director for Asia & Pacific, Amnesty International, USA in an interview with Voice of america, comments on Bangladesh war crimes trial.
Human Rights group Amnesty welcomed UN support for the investigation - Amnesty said - failure to seek truth and justice for crimes against humanity has encouraged what it called the "persistent nature of impunity" in Bangladesh and the initiative to seek UN assistance to address the 1971 war crimes - marks the beginning of a process to heal the wounds of this war.
Mr. Kumar said, "We urge President Obama to give all assistance to the Bangladesh Government in this investigation. And we urge President Obama to order all the documents they may have - to be given to the UN group for war crimes tribunal".
