1971 WAR CRIMES: SC upholds Jamaat leader Azhar’s death penalty
[Dhaka Tribune] The Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...of former Jamaat-e-Islami ... The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independentbranch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... assistant secretary general ATM Azharul Islam awarded to him for his crimes against humanity committed during the 1971 Liberation War.
