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. Meanwhile, the defence as well as the state has pleaded to review the Appellate Division judgment that had commuted death sentence of Delwar Hossain Sayedee to life imprisonment. Their pleas are yet to be heard.
