Hundreds of people cheered as the International Crimes Tribunal-2 delivered the sentence at a packed court room on Thursday. Five of the seven charges labelled against the Jamaat Assistant Secretary General were proved.
People started flocking the Shahbagh from Wednesday after the tribunal said it would deliver a verdict on Thursday.
A victory procession was brought out by the Ganajagaran Mancha to Central Shaheed Minar.
Mancha spokepserson Imran H Sarker said the people’s aspirations have been fulfilled with the verdict.
The movement started three months ago protesting against the ‘lenient’ life term of Jamaat leader Abdul Quader Molla on war crimes charges on Feb 5.
Protesters there are pressing for a six-point demand which include maximum penalty for convicted war criminals and banning the Jamaat as a political party.
