Bangladesh: Fugitive Sentenced to Death by War Crimes Tribunal

By
Published: January 21, 2013
 
 A tribunal on Monday sentenced an Islamic cleric linked to a fundamentalist party to death for crimes against humanity for his actions during Bangladesh's 1971 independence war. The cleric, Abul Kalam Azad, a member of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, was tried in absentia after he reportedly fled to Pakistan last April after being charged. Jamaat-e-Islami campaigned in 1971 against Bangladesh's war of separation from Pakistan. The party is accused of supporting or in some cases taking part in atrocities committed by Pakistani troops. Bangladesh says that during the nine-month war, Pakistani troops and local collaborators killed three million people and raped about 200,000 women. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina set up the tribunal in 2010. Human rights groups have criticized it for not operating by international law, and members of the opposition say Ms. Hasina has used it to undermine her opponents.
