A court in Dhaka frames charges against seven people including wife and son of war criminal Salauddin Quader Chowdhury over the leak of draft of verdict in war crimes trial. Judge KM Shamsul Alam of the Cyber Tribunal fixed March 28 to start the trial.

Condemned war criminal Salauddin Quader Chowdhury will convey his decision on seeking presidential clemency when he meets his lawyers, his wife Farhat Quader Chowdhury says.

Death row war crimes convicts Salauddin Quader Chowdhury and Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed met their families at Dhaka jail. The meetings took place a day after the Supreme Court turned down their pleas for review against death penalty for war crimes during 1971 Liberation War.

The High Court refuses to hear a writ petition filed by the wife of war criminal Salauddin Quader Chowdhury challenging the constitutional provision that allows the trial of an individual for committing crimes against humanity during the Liberation War.
