Mizanul Islam said that these documents will show that the 19(2) prosecution witnesses were in the custody of the investigation agency; that although the prosecution told the tribunal that these witnesses were unavailable in fact they were available, and that as a consequence the tribunal received in evidence the statements of these prosecution witnesses alleged to have been recorded by IO.
The chairman said that if Masud Sayedee wants to exhibit these Safe House documents then he must say where from he has collected them. We will ask him question.
Mizanul Islam said that the tribunal can ask this question. So the chairman asked him and the witness replied that on 12th April 2012 a report was published in the Daily Amardesh about the Safe House. Then I contacted with the news reporter Mr. Noman and collected these documents from him.
Judge then said that Abdur Razaque, when Tribunal was able to impose an order concerning these article apologies on their behalf and said that it would not happen again but subsequently the same daily and the same reporter did the same controversial activities. Now let the reporter come in the Tribunal and make his own deposition
The chairman said that we will not exhibit this document through this witness as he does not have personal knowledge about these documents. According to rule 54(1) the maker of the document or the person who have collected it from the maker can only exhibit a document.
Islam responded by saying that at the time of exhibiting certain prosecution documents the defense had argued this point referring to Rule 54(1) as the prosecution witness who was exhibiting the document was neither maker of the document nor had he collected it from the maker of the document, that the person had no personal knowledge about the document. But at that time you told us that the word ‘document’ should be read as ‘manuscript’ and told us that Rule 54(1) was only applicable for signed statement of a person. Now you are changing your position.
The chairman said you should not exhibit these Safe House Registers through this witness. He is son of the Accused. Why you are putting him at risk by exhibiting these documents. You should think about this.
Razzaq then said that section 19(1) provides that you should not be concerned about the techniqualities. These Safe House Registers have probative value. So you should exhibit them.
Mizanul Islam then said that the defence will think about this and might exhibit this document tomorrow.
The chairman said ok, and put the issue of the safe Hosue Registers to one side and proceed on.
The witness then continued deposing.
