[Bangla Daily Star] The International Crimes Tribunal-2 is set to deliver today the verdict in the war crimes case against Jamaat-e -Islami Secretary General Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed.The alleged chief of infamous Al-Badr force is facing seven charges, including that of murder, genocide and conspiracy to kill intellectuals, during the country's Liberation War in 1971.
Forty-one days after the completion of the case proceedings, Tribunal-2 Chairman Justice Obaidul Hassan yesterday announced the verdict date in the courtroom.
On June 5, the court had shelved the case for delivering verdict.
During their closing arguments, the prosecution sought capital punishment for Mojaheed claiming that they had been able to prove all the charges against him while the defence claimed otherwise.
If convicted, Mojaheed might have to walk to the gallows.
Yesterday, he was shifted from Narayanganj prison to Dhaka Central Jail, reports our Narayanganj correspondent.
Narayanganj jail Superintendent Mustafizur Rahman said that amid tight security Mojaheed had been shifted to Dhaka in a prison van around 5:50pm.
