Jamaat leader Azhar's death sentence's review hearing on Jan 23

Published : Thursday, 9 January, 2025 at 11:29 AM  Count : 352


The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on Thursday set January 23 for the hearing of Jamaat leader ATM Azharul Islam's review petition seeking reconsideration of his death sentence for crimes against humanity.

A five-member bench of the Appellate Division, led by Chief Justice Syed Refat Ahmed, set the date today.

On July 19, 2020, ATM Azharul Islam filed the review petition with the relevant branch of the Appellate Division. The 23-page petition presented a total of 14 arguments for reconsideration.
The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) on December 30, 2014, sentenced ATM Azhar to death.

On January 28, 2015, the death-row convict submitted a petition to the Appellate Division, claiming his innocence.

Later, on July 19, 2020, Azharul Islam filed the review petition with the relevant branch of the Appellate Division.

Following an appeal hearing, the Appellate Division, under a bench led by then-Chief Justice Syed Mahmud, upheld the death penalty in a verdict delivered on October 23, 2019.

The full text of the Appellate Division’s verdict was released on March 15, 2020, after which ATM Azhar submitted the review petition.
