Toby Cadman, a British human rights lawyer, met Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus at the state guest house Jamuna in the capital on Monday.

During the meeting, they discussed the need to establish a domestic tribunal with international support to try people accused of committing crimes against humanity during the July-August student-led revolution.

"Bangladesh quickly needs to establish an effective domestic legal framework for ensuring truth, justice, and accountability that would be properly supported by the international community and endorsed by the people of Bangladesh," the chief adviser's press wing quoted Cadman as saying.

In presenting a number of proposals to the chief adviser, Cadman said his team of lawyers was ready to support Bangladesh in its efforts to develop a framework for the extradition of persons involved in crimes against humanity, economic crimes, and political corruption.

The chief adviser heard Cadman’s proposals and asked him to make a written submission.

He said his government is committed to holding internationally acceptable trials of the people who ordered and carried out massacre during the student-led revolution.

Prof Yunus said one of the top priorities of the interim government is to bring back billions of dollars laundered abroad during the Sheikh Hasina's 15-year autocratic regime.
