Gazipur: The full verdict of the Supreme Court, rejecting the review petition of condemned war criminal Mir Quasem Ali, was read out to the Jamaat leader at Kashimpur Jail in Gazipur on Wednesday morning.

Kashimpur jail-2 Senior Jail Super Prashanta Kumar Banki read out the verdict to Mir Quasem Ali at about 7:30am.

Prashanta Kumar Banik said the copy of the 29-page review verdict reached Kashimpur jail from Dhaka Central jail by a microbus with tight security at about 1:00am.

International Crimes Tribunal Registrar Shahidul Alam Jhinuk said the copy of verdict was handed over to Dhaka Central jail authorities at about 8:30pm on Tuesday.

The Supreme Court’s Assistant Registrar Mehedi Hassan submitted a copy of the review verdict to ICT at about 6:15pm on Tuesday.

Besides, copies of the verdict will be sent to the Ministry of Home Affairs, Law Minister, and Dhaka Deputy Commissioner.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday afternoon released the full text of the verdict rejecting the review pleas of condemned war crimes convict Mir Quasem Ali.

The written text was released after a five-member bench of the Appellate Division, headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha, signed the copy of the verdict turning down the review petition against its earlier order upholding Mir Quasem’s death sentence for committing crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971.

The five-member Appellate Division bench upheld the death penalty for war criminal Mir Quasem Ali on Tuesday morning.

Talking to reporters after the verdict, Attorney General Mahbubey Alam said now the only option left for Mir Quasem is to seek presidential clemency.

‘If the Jamaat-e-Islami leader seeks presidential mercy, the government will act as per the President’s decision and if he does not file any mercy petition, the government will take necessary steps to execute the verdict anytime,’ he said.

There is no time limitation about executing the verdict and there is no provision either, he said.

On 19 June, Barrister Mir Ahmed Bin Quasem, son of Mir Quasem, filed the 68-page review petition with the Appellate Division against the death penalty handed down to him for his crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971.

International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) issued death warrant for Mir Quasem hours after the apex court released the full text of its verdict upholding his death penalty on 6 June.

On 8 March, the Appellate Division upheld the death penalty for Mir Quasem Ali for his war crimes.

The International Crimes Tribunal-2 sentenced Mir Quasem Ali, Al-Badr chief in the port city of Chittagong in 1971, to death on 2 November 2014.

On 30 November 2014, he filed an appeal before the Supreme Court challenging the death penalty.

Top Jamaat-e-Islami financier Quasem, now 64, was president of the Chittagong town unit of Islami Chhatra Sangha, the then student wing of Jamaat, till 6 November 1971.

He was then made general secretary of the East Pakistan Chhatra Sangha.
