Two Bangladesh opposition leaders have been executed for war crimes committed during the 1971 independence struggle against Pakistan. Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury and Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid were hanged in Dhaka's central jail. They were convicted of genocide and rape. Information gathered from a reliable source revealed that the two charges were denied by them. Chowdhury has been an influential politician. He was elected MP six times, while Mujahid was a top leader of Bangladesh's largest Islamist party. Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said they were hanged after President Abdul Hamid rejected appeals for clemency by the two men. However, family members have dismissed reports that the men made such appeals. This could have automatically signified an admissions of guilt. Chowdhury's son, Humam Qauder Chowdhury in his exact words said "My father said he did not seek any mercy." This he told AFP news agency after meeting his father for the last time, hours before his execution. Humam Qauder added "He has always said he's innocent." The Supreme Court upheld their sentences earlier this month. Chowdhury was the most senior leader of the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party to be sentenced for crimes against humanity. Two years ago, a special war crimes tribunal found him guilty of nine out of 23 charges including genocide, arson and persecuting people on religious and political grounds. Mujahid was the secretary-general of Jamaat-e-Islami. He was sentenced to death in July 2013. He was accused of being responsible for the killings of a number of pro-independence Bangladeshi leaders and intellectuals. The tribunal found him guilty of five charges, including abduction and murder. Bangladesh's government says the war crimes trials are necessary to bring murderers to justice. However, the opposition says they have been used to persecute them. Human rights groups have also said the tribunal does not meet international standards. |
