DHAKA: A Bangladesh court Wednesday sentenced a senior leader of the country’s largest Islamic party to death for crimes committed during the 1971 war.
Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid, 65, was found guilty of five charges, including abduction and murder, and was sentenced to death by the much-criticised International Crimes Tribunal.
“In three out of five charges he was given the death sentence,” the country’s junior attorney general and prosecutor MK Rahman said.
