Sector Commanders Forum, a platform of sector commanders of the Liberation War yesterday demanded that the process to bring the war criminals to justice be started by March 26.

The demand came from a meeting of the Sector Commanders at the city's Muslim Hall in the morning.

Earlier, the forum leaders placed wreaths at Shaheed Minar and visited slaying fields in Nathpara and Foy's Lake areas.

Besides, a seven-day signature collection programme of the forum, seeking trail of the war criminals, was inaugurated at DC Hill Park yesterday.

Air Vice Marshal (retd) AK Khandker, who was present at the programme as chief guest, said it is necessary to start trial of the heinous crimes first to establish a justice-based society. "Committing war crimes is worse than doing corruption. We do hope that this caretaker government will start the trial process of the war criminals," he said.

AK Khandker said if the government fails to start the process to bring the war criminals to book by the given time, then their forum would announce a fresh programme from a rally here on March 26.
