International Crimes Tribunal-2 on Tuesday sentenced Jamaat leader Abdul Quader Mollah to life term imprisonment for his crimes against humanity during the country’s Liberation War in 1971.

Tribunal Chairman Justice Obaidul Hassan came up with the judgement after the summary of the 132-page verdict was read out at the courtroom amid tight security.

Today’s proceeding continued for more than one and a half hours starting from 10:45am.

Five charges out of six war crimes allegations against Mollah were proven beyond any doubt, the chairman of the tribunal said during the pronouncement of the verdict.

The Jamaat assistant secretary general was indicted on May 28 last year with six specific charges for his alleged involvement in murders, mass killings and torture during the Liberation War in 1971.
