Jail killing case to be revived.

Home minister Shahara Khatun has reiterated the Awami League government's pledge to revive the trial of the jail killing cases.
Shahara was talking to reporters on Wednesday, while visiting a museum in the Dhaka Central Jail dedicated to the memories of the four slain leaders.
"The present government is not pleased with the verdict of the case. So it will request the court through the law ministry for a re-trial."
On this day in 1975, four leaders of the wartime national government—acting president of Bangladesh Syed Nazrul Islam, prime minister Tajuddin Ahmed and cabinet ministers M Mansur Ali and AHM Qamruzzaman—were killed inside Dhaka Central Jail.
The assassins, believed to be the mastermind of the 1975 coup, gunned down the four leaders, just three months after murdering Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family members on August 15, 1975.
Pointing an accusing finger at Ziaur Rahman,the founder of BNP and a former president, as the mastermind of the jail killing, the local government minister claimed, "later his wife, Khaleda Zia, tried hard to protect the murderers."
"Those who have committed the murders and those who have instigated it, as well as those who saved them, will be brought to justice," she said.
Armed assassins had stormed Dhaka Central Jail on November 3 1975 and ruthlessly shot dead the four national leaders during that murky period of the country's history.
The Awami League government had revived the trial of the jail killings case after it came to power in 1996.
But the trial went through several hiccups, and the High Court, on October 20, 2004, during the tenure of the BNP-Jamaat alliance government, handed down a verdict, sentencing 15 of the 20 accused.
Appeals on the verdict are still pending before the court.
