DHAKA, (PNA/PTI) — A special Bangladeshi tribunal today sentenced opposition BNP’s 83-year-old leader Abdul Alim to jail until death for committing large-scale killings and other war crimes during the 1971 liberation war against Pakistan.
“He shall be kept in jail till he is dead,” pronounced chairman of the three-member International Crimes Tribunal Obaidul Hassan in a packed courtroom as wheelchair-bound Alim was brought to the dock.
