No-one came to visit war crimes accused Jamaat-e-Islami chief Motiur Rahman Nizami, war criminals Delwar Hossain Sayedee, Mohammad Kamaruzzaman, and the BNP's Salauddin Quader Chowdhury, prison authorities said Monday.

Other inmates include BNP's Khandker Mosharraf Hossain, Amar Desh's acting editor Mahmudur Rahman, Jamaat's ATM Azharul Islam, and Mir Quasem Ali.

Salauddin Quader, a death row convict, is at Kashimpur's Dhaka Central Jail Part-I along with Sayedee, convicted to remain in jail until death, and Mosharaf Hossain. War criminal Kamaruzzaman is in Part-II of the central jail along with Mahmudur Rahman, and war crimes accused Jamaat leaders Azharul Islam and Quasem Ali. Jamaat chief Nizami, a death-row convict in Chittagong's 10-truck arms haul case, is at Kashimpur's high security prison. Several Eid congregations were held at these prisons in the morning. Special diet is being served in the jails like previous years.
