Jamaat-e-Islami leader Abdus Subhan challenges death penalty awarded to him for his wartime offences.
Jamaat-e-Islami leader Abdus Subhan today challenged the death penalty awarded to him by a war crimes tribunal for his crimes against humanity during the country’s Liberation War in 1971.
Subhan’s counsel submitted an 89-page appeal with the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court around 12:30pm, seeking acquittal of all the charges brought against him.
He also attached 1,182 pages of documents with his appeal mentioning 92 grounds on which the apex court may consider his prayer.
Jamaat Nayeb-e-Ameer, Subhan, who led the anti-liberation elements in Pabna, was sentenced to death on three charges, imprisonment until death on two charges and five years' imprisonment on another by International Crimes Tribunal-2 on February 18.
Supreme Court will later fix a date for hearing the appeal.
