The trial commenced on August 11, 1971. The court, however, adjourned the same day in order to ensure fair trial and justice so that Sheikh Mujibur Rahman could have a defense counsel of his own choice. On September 8, 1971 the services of Mr. A. K. Brohi and his three assistants, namely, Mr. Ghulam Ali Memon, Mr. Akber Mirza and Mr. Ghulam Hussain were procured, and the examination of the prosecution witnesses started. The prosecution have so far examined 20 witnesses in support of the charges preferred against Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The trial is in progress with Mr. A. K. Brohi as the defense counsel. The public will be informed of the further progress of the case in due course of time. Meanwhile people should in their own interest refrain from saying or doing anything which may constitute a contempt of court or a breach of secrecy of the trial proceedings, or which may tend to prejudice the case of either the defense or the prosecution.
