Delwar Hossain Ripon, who was awarded death penalty for carrying out a grenade attack on then UK envoy in Bangladesh Anwar Choudhury in 2004, seeks presidential clemency.

No legal obstacle remains for the execution of the death sentence of three Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami (Huji) militants including its chief Mufti Abdul Hannan in a case filed for grenade attack on the then UK envoy in Bangladesh in 2004. The Supreme Court dismisses a petition filed by Mufti Hannan seeking review of its verdict that upheld a High Court judgement awarding death penalty to the three in the case.
