War criminal Chowdhury Mueen Uddin has said the recent verdict that sentenced him to death was “corrupt.”
“It’s unfortunate that a ‘corrupt’ legal process finally came up with such an ‘unfounded’ and ‘totally irresponsible’ decision,” he said.
He said this in response to the war crimes tribunal verdict which was delivered on Sunday, which sentenced him to death on 11 charges.
When asked about his involvement with militia he said: “I was never a member of any militia group. In fact, I was a supporter of unity of a sovereign country (Pakistan) and that was not a crime.”
“I was never a supporter of military action, in fact I was critical of the military atrocities even during that time,” Mueen said.
“And I resigned from my political position immediately after the military crackdown and focused on my journalistic career.”
In response to the allegation Mueen said: That’s their view and I respect their view but that is not true.
"I am prepared to stand a trial in front of an internationally supervised fair court of justice, not a compromised system of law as it is being run in Bangladesh," he added.
The convicted criminal made the statement in an interview with the BBC on Tuesday.
