DHAKA: She’s one of the most talked-about women in Bangladesh today and also one of the most admired and reviled. Tureen Afroz is the person responsible for sending the 1971 war criminals to the gallows and her feisty but well-crafted arguments as the chief prosecutor in the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) of Bangladesh has won her legions of followers across the country.
It also earned her a lot of death threats, abuse and even Molotov cocktails hurled at her bungalow in Dhaka’s chic Uttara Model Town.
