BNP leader Salauddin Quader Chowdhury has filed an application, seeking review of the order of Appellate Division that upheld his death sentence pronounced by International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) 1 for war crimes.
"We have filed the 108-page application this morning, seeking his acquittal on 10 grounds," said Salauddin’s counsel Muhammad Huzzatul Islam Khan, reports BSS.
Advocate Khandaker Mahbub Hossain will lead our cause before the court, the counsel added.
On October 1, 2013, the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) 1 sentenced Salauddin to death for his crimes against humanity during 1971 Liberation War.
Salauddin lodged appeal against his sentence on October 29, 2013 and the Appellate Division in its verdict upheld the death sentence for him on July 29, 2015.
