“Law minister’s order unacceptable”

DHAKA: Shishir Munir, lawyer of death row convict Kamaruzzaman categorically said that law minister can’t order jail authority to be ready for executing verdict.

He came up with the claim after meeting Kamaruzzaman in the jail on Thursday morning.

Shishir Munir said, “Law minister’s speech ordering jail authority for preparing to execute Kamaruzzaman verdict is not acceptable as we have not filed review petition.”

If it is done so, it will violate the rules of Supreme Court, he added.

On Wednesday, in his speech, law minister Anisul Haque said that he had order central jail authority to be prepare for executing Kamaruzzaman verdict.

On Tuesday (November 4), Kamaruzzaman was shifted to Dhaka Central Jail from Kashimpur Jail.

On Monday (November 3), the Supreme Court Appellate Division upheld the death sentence against Jamaat assistant secretary general Muhammad Kamaruzzaman.

He was sentenced to death in 3rd and 4th number charges—brought for the mass killing in Shohagpur village of Sherpur district and killing of Golam Mostafa.

On May 9, 2013, the ICT-2, led-by Justice Obaidul Hassan, awarded capital punishment to the Jamaat assistant secretary general for his crimes against humanity during country’s Liberation War in 1971.
