The Dhaka Central Jail authorities last night received a copy of the Supreme Court judgment that confirmed the death penalty of war

Security in and around the Dhaka Central Jail, where death row war criminal Motiur Rahman Nizami has been kept, was strengthened this afternoon.

All eyes are on the Supreme Court as it is set today to pass an order on the petition of war criminal Motiur Rahman Nizami,

Convicted war criminal Motiur Rahman Nizami would seek a review of the Supreme Court verdict that upheld his death penalty handed down by a special tribunal in October 2014.

The chief prosecutor's office has withdrawn a prosecutor “in the public interest” from all the cases he was dealing with at the International Crimes Tribunal.

Special tribunal finds Obaidul Haque Taher and Ataur Rahman Nani of Netrakona guilty of four out of six charges of crimes against humanity pressed against them and hands death penalty for two charges.

The government yesterday filed a review petition with the Supreme Court seeking death penalty for Jamaat-e-Islami leader Delawar Hossain Sayedee for the war crimes he committed during the Liberation War.

The government will move a review petition before the Supreme Court by tomorrow, seeking death penalty for convicted war criminal Delwar Hossain Sayedee, Attorney General Mahbubey Alam said.

For more than 44 years, Abdur Rouf Montu has been waiting for justice.

On a summer morning of 1971, he invited the villagers of Bausgari in Santhia upazila of Pabna for a meeting.

He masterminded the formation of a ruthless militia that unleashed terror on peace-loving Bangalees, killed unarmed civilians, raped women and destroyed properties during the 1971 Liberation War. Towards the end of the nine-month war, the infamous militia -- Al-Badr Bahini -- committed “crimes of serious gravity intending to demean the human civilisation”. Sensing Pakistan's imminent defeat, the notorious force systematically rounded up, tortured and killed the nation's brightest luminaries to intellectually cripple the soon-to-be independent Bangladesh.

Jamaat-e-Islami leader Motiur Rahman Nizami’s execution will be carried out after the disposal of review, if he files it, says Attorney General Mahbubey Alam.

After the Supreme Court upheld death for Jamaat-e-Islami leader Motiur Rahman Nizami, his lawyer says they will go for a review.

The charges brought against condemned war criminal and Jamaat-e-Islami leader Motiur Rahman Nizami for crimes committed against humanity in 1971:

Supreme Court upholds death penalty awarded to Jamaat-e-Islami amir Motiur Rahman Nizami for crimes committed against humanity in 1971. Protesting the ruling, Jamaat calls a countrywide daylong hartal for Thursday.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina says there will be no existence of the cohorts of the defeated forces in Bangladesh.

The government will take initiatives to bring the 195 Pakistani army personnel from the country and try them for war crimes in Bangladesh, says Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal.

Govt is assessing Bangladesh-Pakistan ties, considering measures need to be taken over Pak reaction after execution of 2 war criminals, says foreign minister.

Dhaka University Vice Chancellor Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique urges the government to sever all diplomatic ties with Pakistan for interfering in Bangladesh’s domestic affairs like war crimes trial.

Pakistan has decided to summon Bangladesh’s envoy to lodge a protest and convey Islamabad’s concerns over the recent executions of two war criminals – Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed and Salauddin Quader Chowdhury.
