Bangladesh's main Islamist party member has been charged over war crimes during the 1971 war of independence with Pakistan.
The special war crimes tribunal, set up in 2010 to investigate abuses committed in that war, has framed charges against Abdus Subhan, who was arrested last September, of collaborating with Pakistani forces, the BBC reports.
However, Subhan has denied all the charges against him, the report added.
Bangladesh recently executed senior Islamist leader Abdul Kader Mullah, convicted of atrocities committed during the 1971 Independence war.
Meanwhile, Jamaat-e-Islami supporters have criticized the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT), claiming that it is a politically-motivated attempt to eradicate its leaders.
Four other leading figures of Jamaat have also been convicted by the ICT and face the death penalty, the report added.
