The process of holding trial for the crimes taking place in the time of Liberation War will start by March next year at the Old High Court building.

Law Minister Shafique Ahmed said this to reporters on Sunday at the Judicial Administration Training Institute after visiting the Old High Court building.

He said the government had decided to set up tribunal for the trial at the building. Construction of the courtrooms and other offices will be completed by January.

After the courtrooms and relevant offices are set up, the government will appoint prosecutors and investigators for the trial.
