UNB, Dhaka: The family members of death-row war criminal Jamaat-e-Islami leader Ali Ahsan Muhammad Mojaheed entered the Dhaka central jail to meet him on Thursday afternoon. Twelve members of Mojaheed’s family, including his son Ali Ahmad Mabrur, entered the jail at 1:53 pm, said sources at the jail gate. Earlier on Wednesday, the Supreme Court upheld its previous verdict on the Jamaat leader, rejecting his plea for reviewing death penalty for his crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971, keeping no further legal bar for his execution. A four-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha dismissed the review petition of Mojaheed.
