The family members of condemned war criminal Mohammad Kamaruzzaman have met him at Dhaka Central Jail on Wednesday morning.

A total of 10 members, including wife, four sons, one daughter, brother, sister, maternal aunt entered the jail gate around 10:25am and came out around 11:20am after meeting with Kamaruzzaman, said Hasan Iqbal, son of the war criminal.

“We have met him as part of regular meetings,” Hasan told the reporters.

"My father is well and normal," he told the journalists replying to a query.

Responding to another question, he said: “He is not worried about the death sentence.”

We are waiting for the full verdict of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court that upheld the death penalty awarded by the war crimes tribunal, he added.

“After getting it, we will file review appeal petition.”

On Tuesday, M Kamaruzzaman was shifted to Dhaka Central Jail from Kashimpur Jail in Gazipur.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court Monday upheld the tribunal verdict that had awarded death sentence to Jamaat-e-Islami assistant secretary general for committing crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971.
