Condemned war criminals Salauddin Quader Chowdhury and Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed will file petitions within the next 15 days seeking review of the Supreme Court verdicts that upheld their death penalty, says their counsels.

One of the two war crimes tribunals is reshuffled and the other made dormant by the government.

After an exhaustive process of trial, the War Crimes Tribunal convicted Salauddin Quader Chowdhury to death sentence.

Former US president Richard Nixon “didn't give a fig for the genocide that was being committed in present-day Bangladesh”, says a Pulitzer winning New York Times journalist.

Another war crimes suspect is arrested from Maheshkhali upazila of Cox’s Bazar early today, three days after a tribunal in Dhaka issued arrest warrant against him and 15 others.

The government appealed to the Supreme Court seeking death penalty for convicted war criminal Abdul Jabbar.
