A video of the lynching went viral on social media
After the first war crimes tribunal delivered the judgement on Monday afternoon, Bangladesh Chhatra Maitri President Bappaditya Basu made the announcement around 4:15pm on behalf of the organisations.
The call came from their renewed stance at the capital’s Shahbagh on death to all convicted war criminals. The verdict will make Azam to spend the next 90 years in jail and ‘die behind bars’.
The 91-year-old has been found guilty by the ICT-1 of all five categories of crime – incitement, conspiracy, planning, abetment and failure to prevent murder.
