DHAKA: International Crime Tribunal-1 warned US-based rights organization Human Rights Watch (HRW) asking it to be careful to make further any comment over any sub-judice matter.

A three-member team led by its chairman justice M Enayetur Rahim passed the order on Thursday and dismissed the contempt of court charge against the organization.

Prosecutor Ziad Al Malum moved for the state in the hearing while Asaduzzaman stood for HRW.

Earlier on May 25, the hearing on Tribunal’s notice to HRW to show cause for making ‘biased, baseless, utterly false, fabricated and ill-motivated allegations’ in its report regarding the trial of former Jamaat chief Ghulam Azam was ended.

The prosecution of the ICT on August 20, 2013, filed the contempt petition against HRW's board of directors, its executive director of Asia Division Brad Adams, and its associate for the Asia Division Storm Tiv.
