The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on Monday upheld the tribunal judgment that had sentenced the Jamaat-e-Islami assistant secretary general to death for committing crimes against humanity during the Liberation War of 1971. On May 9 last year, the International Crimes Tribunal-2 condemned Kamaruzzaman to death for his crimes against humanity, including murder, abduction, torture, rape and mass killing during the Liberation War of 1971. On June 6 last year, war criminal Kamaruzzaman filed the appeal with the Supreme Court challenging the ICT-2 verdict. — UNB, Dhaka
