News from media sources.
Two independent experts of the United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday called on the Bangladesh government not to execute the death sentence amid fears of his party Jamaat-e-Islami that Quader Molla, who was convicted of murder and rape in 1971, would be hanged on Tuesday.
The UN human rights commissioner's 'last-minute call' came a day after Gabriela Naul and Christophe Haynes issued statements alleging that Abdul Quader Mollah had not received justice, calling for him not to be hanged as a politician.
Abdul Quader Mollah was convicted of his crime and sentenced to life in prison last February by the International Criminal Tribunal. In the context of angry reactions from all over the country, including the witnesses of brutality, the prosecution appealed against it, and Quader Molla himself appealed.
In that appeal, the Supreme Court of Bangladesh sentenced Kader Molla to death. Although ordinary citizens of the country have the opportunity to apply for the review of the judgment of the Appellate Division, that opportunity has been canceled by the constitution of those convicted of genocide and war crimes; Although the lawyers of Kader Mullah have been demanding this opportunity.
It is to be noted that the United Nations Human Rights Commission issued a statement a month ago in a similar circular calling on the Bangladesh government not to impose the death penalty in any of its cases, expressing doubts about the transparency of the war crimes tribunal's trial.
