As Al Badr commander Mir Quasem Ali is waiting for his review plea against the Appellate Division judgment to be heard on July 25, another 15 war crimes cases is waiting in line for appeal hearing before the apex court, reports BSS.
Although many of the convicts were mid-level or even grassroots criminals, they terrorized their neighborhoods by their monstrous acts.
Of these, there are cases against Jamaat nayeb-e-ameer Mawlana Abdus Subhan of Pabna, fellow Jamaat man ATM Azharul Islam from Rangpur, Mobarak Hossain from Brahmanbaria, Syed Mohammad Kaiser from Habiganj, Engineer Abdul Jabbar from Pirojpur, Mahidur Rahman and Afsar Hossain from Chapainawabganj, Sheikh
Sirajul Haque and Khan Akram Hossain from Bagerhat, Forkan Mallik from Potuakhali, Ataur Rahman Noni and Obaidul Haque Taher from Netrokona, Shamsuddin Ahmed from Kishoreganj and the case against Mohibur Rahman alias Boro Miah and his cousin Abdur Razzak from Habiganj. Of these 15 appeals, the state has pleaded to sentence Jabbar, who had been handed down imprisonment till natural death by the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT)-1 considering his age, to death. The other appeals were lodged by the convicts against their sentence by the tribunal.
