Dear Editors
Most of the Bangladeshis who had experienced the ordeal during 1971 liberation war and are alive still, support the way the government is trying the people detained so far for their alleged involvement in war crimes 42 years ago.
The witnesses of 1971 war believe that the government has detained the real culprits and are trying them under the just laws of the country.
Most of Bangladeshi medias are seemed to support the government, because they are convinced that the detained people were really culprits, and the protesters, who demand their unconditional release and cancellation of the International Crime tribunal, are the off-springs of those who had opposed liberation war of Bangladesh. Most people in Bangladesh want punishment of the detained culprits.
