Law Minister Anisul Huq says a new law to allow that to happen is being considered. "The people demand confiscation of properties of war criminals. Organisations like Ekattorer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee and Ganajagaran Mancha that have been demanding death penalty for war criminals have also been demanding confiscation of the properties of those hanged for war crimes. When his attention was drawn to the matter on Wednesday, law minister Huq said, "A provision for this can be created within the ICT (International Crimes Tribunal) law or a new law can be passed." The minister, however, said he was for passing a new law "in order to stop the children of the war criminals from inheriting their properties".
