Dhaka, May 5 (IBNS): The Bangladesh Supreme Court on Thursday rejected the final plea to review his death sentence handed to fundamentalist Jamaat-e-Islami Motiur Rahman Nizami.

International Crimes Tribunal-1 had earlier handed a death sentence to him on October 29, 2014 over war crimes committed during the 1971 Liberation War with Pakistan.

The judgement was pronounced by four-member Appellate Division bench headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha.

Nizami, chief of the Jamaat party that opposed Bangladesh’s liberation during 1971, was previously convicted of five war crimes charges including murder of intellectuals, The Daily Star reported.

The apex court upheld Nizami’s death in three of the charges on Jan 6.

The death warrant was issued on Mar 15.
