Dhaka, May 11 (IBNS) Islamist leader Motiur Rahman Nizami was hanged in Bangladesh for crimes during the war of independence from Pakistan in 1971 on Wednesday.

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal told bdnews24.com that he was hanged at Dhaka Central Jail at around 12:10am.

The execution was held amid tight security across the South Asian nation.

The Islamist leader was  convicted of genocide, rape and torture.

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.
