The Supreme Court fixes July 25 for hearing the petition filed by war criminal Mir Quasem Ali seeking review of his judgement that had upheld his death penalty.

Condemned war crimes convict Jamaat leader Mir Quasem Ali will file a petition with the Supreme Court seeking a review of its verdict upholding his death penalty for crimes against humanity during the Liberation War, says Quasem’s counsel Matiur Rahman Akanda.

Human Rights Watch urges Bangladesh authorities to “set aside” war criminal Mir Quasem Ali’s death penalty citing reasons that the trial was “flawed”.

Attorney General Mahbubey Alam hopes that the capital punishment of war criminal Mir Quasem Ali will be upheld in the Supreme Court judgement.

Chief Justice SK Sinha expresses hopes that the sitting and retired judges who enjoy state facilities will abide by the norms and values.
