The second war crimes tribunal on Wednesday gave death sentence to Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mujaheed on three charges of crimes against humanity, while he was acquitted on two charges.
“With due respect to the tribunal, this is a wrong verdict,” said Abdur Razzaq. “They have failed to evaluate the customary law in this regard.”
The top defence lawyer said they would appeal against the verdict claiming that the tribunal failed to assess the evidence properly.
"They (Judges) have failed to evaluate the evidence. We will naturally appeal against this judgement."
Defence lawyer Saifur Rahman claimed the evidence against Mujaheed in the charges he was found guilty were similar to that of the charges he was acquitted.
