Jamaat-e-Islami leader Abdus Subhan, who has been sentenced to death by the International Crimes Tribunal, had been charged with nine counts of crimes against humanity, including murder, abductions, detention, torture and loot.
The International Crimes Tribunal-2 Chairman, Justice Obaidul Hassan, handed down the maximum penalty on Wednesday.
With six of the nine charges levelled by the prosecution having been proven beyond any shred of doubt, Subhan was sentenced to be hanged till death.
The other two tribunal members, Justice Md Mujibur Rahman Mia and Justice Shahinur Islam, were also present at the time of the sentencing – the 16th conviction for crimes against humanity.
Subhan was the chief of Jamaat’s Pabna unit and sat on the party's highest policymaking body during the post-Liberation War era.
It came to light in the trial that Subhan, with Pakistani soldiers, had indulged in murders, mass killings, arson and lootings once ‘Operation Searchlight’ was launched on the night of Mar 25, 1971.
He is the ninth top Jamaat leader to be convicted for war crimes committed during Bangladesh’s war of independence from Pakistan.
