SC verdict on SQ historic : Awami League

Awami League termed the Supreme Court verdict upholding death penalty of war criminal Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury “historic”.

AL Joint General Secretary Jahangir Kabir Nanak came up with the party’s reaction during a press briefing at the party chief’s Dhanmondi office in Dhaka this afternoon.

Nanak said, “It is a historic verdict. The longtime expectation of the countrymen has been fulfilled through the verdict.”

"We want to say in unequivocal terms that the trial of the war criminals for their crimes against humanity would be completed in the sacred soil of Bangladesh whatever might be the conspiracy, acts of subversion and destruction, anarchy and violence let loose by Khaleda Zia-Tarique and the BNP-Jamaat combine," Nanak added.
