Nizami to file review plea

Mawlana Motiur Rahman Nizami, ameer of the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, will file a review petition against the death verdict handed down to him. After hearing the death warrant and holding discussions with his lawyers, he communicated the decision to the authorities of Kashimpur Central Jail in Gazipur yesterday (Wednesday).
The death warrant was read out to the convicted war criminal at the jail. The jail authorities read out the warrant around 10am yesterday, soon after it reached the jail, where the Jamaat ameer is being kept. Prohsanto Kumar Banik, superintendent of Kashimpur Jail part-2, confirmed the news. “After hearing the warrant, Nizami said that he will file a review petition after holding consultations with his lawyers,” he added.
A copy of the death warrant was brought to Kashimpur jail by a team from Dhaka Central Jail at around 9.05am yesterday. The team was led by the deputy jailer of Dhaka Central Jail. It was read out to Nizami at around 10am and the war criminal put his signature on it. The Dhaka Central Jail authorities received the death warrant around 10pm on Tuesday, soon after the International Crimes Tribunal issued it.
Nizami’s son, Barrister Nazib Momen, and his two lawyers, Mohammed Motiur Rahman Akanda and Moshiur Rahman, met him in the jail and were with him from 1.35pm to 2.10 pm. Later, Motiur Rahman told journalists that Nizami said the court gave the verdict on the basis of false evidence. He told the lawyers to file a review petition against the verdict.
