Salauddin Quader Chowdhury was
found guilty of torture, rape and
genocide during the war for
independence from Pakistan in 1971.
DHAKA: Bangladesh's war crimes
tribunal sentenced a senior
opposition leader and lawmaker to
death on Tuesday in the seventh
such verdict by the body set up to
probe abuses during the country's
bloody struggle for independence.
Salauddin Quader Chowdhury, a
legislator from the main opposition
Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP),
was found guilty of torture, rape and
genocide during the war for
independence from Pakistan in 1971.
The process has been denounced by
opposition parties as politically
motivated ahead of polls due by
January. More than 100 people have
been killed in protests against the
war crimes verdicts since the start of
this year.
The 64-year-old Chowdhury was
charged with killing some 200
civilians and collaborating with
Pakistan's army to kill and torture
unarmed people, as well as other
crimes.
Bangladesh deployed security forces
in the capital, Dhaka, and in
Chowdhury's home city ahead of the
verdict.
