State Minister for Home Affairs Asaduzzaman Khan on Tuesday said the government will execute condemned war criminal Kamaruzzaman’s death sentence ‘very soon’ after receiving the copy of the verdict of the Supreme Court.
Responding to queries from reporters at the Secretariat, Azaduzzaman noted the government has already taken all the preparations for executing the SC order, but it is not possible to execute it unless the government gets the copy of the verdict.
He said the jail authorities have taken all the preparations, and that nothing would be done in violation of the laws.
The junior minister further said the law enforcement agencies have remained alert to avert subversive activities over the execution of the capital punishment of Kamaruzzaman.
The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on Monday rejected death-row war crimes convict Kamaruzzaman’s review petition against its previous verdict in favour of his death penalty that was earlier awarded by the International Crimes Tribunal-2 (ICT-2).
