A member of the BNP's four party governing coalition.... has demanded release of its Nayeb-e-Ameer Delwar Hossain Sayeedi ...Islamic orator and politician. He was a former Member of Parliament in the National Assembly of Bangladesh from 1996 to 2008, and is one of the most prominent leaders of the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami... ahead of the Supreme Court verdict on appeal against Jamaat leader Delwar Hossain Sayeedi's death sentence scheduled to be delivered on Wednesday. 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... acting Ameer Maqbul Ahmed made the demand in a blurb on Tuesday. According to the blurb, Jamaat-e-Islami termed the long term imprisonment and verdict to its Nayeb-e-Ameer and world renowned religious scholar Allama Delwar Hossain Sayeedi as tyrannical government's wish. "The government has filed false and fabricated case against Sayeedi in line with the false allegation of committing crimes against humanity to attain their ill political interest," reads the release. "During this trial procedure, the prosecution has taken various types of falsehood. We truly believe that the tribunal did not make justice to Allama Delwar Hossain Sayeedi offering him death penalty," it added. Jamat urged to all Moslems of Bangladesh and world to pray for Sayeedi. The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court is set to deliver its judgement on appeal against Jamaat leader Delwar Hossain Sayeedi's death sentence in war crimes case on Wednesday, according to the Supreme Court website. The five-member bench led by Chief Justice Md Muzammel Hossain will give the order, says the cause list of court 3. The rest four justices are Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha, Justice Md Abdul Wahhab Miah, Justice Hasan Foez Siddique and Justice AHM Shamsuddin Choudhury. The tribunal handed down the death penalty to Sayeedi on February 28 last year. He appealed against the sentence seeking acquittal on March 28. The government also lodged an appeal to specify the sentence in all the six charges that were proved at the tribunal. |
