The government says it will petition the Supreme Court to hear its leave to
appeal in the jail-killings case once the appeals proceedings in the Sheikh
Mujibur Rahman assassination case are complete.
Prime minister Sheikh
Hasina, honouring the memory of the four national leaders killed in Dhaka
Central Jail on Nov 3 1975, said the case would be revived.
Addressing a
programme at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in Tuesday in
observance of 'Jail Killing Day', she called for a united effort against "the
politics of killing".
"Retrials in the jail killings case will be held.
We must be aware of sabotage. We want to stop the politics of killing for ever."
