Jail-till-death convicted war criminal Mahidur Rahman filed an appeal with the Supreme Court on Tuesday afternoon challenging a tribunal verdict against him.
Mahidur submitted the appeal through his lawyer seeking acquittal from the two charges in which he was found guilty.
The International Crimes Tribunal-2 on May 22 sentenced Mahidur and Afsar Hossain Chutu to jail until death for committing crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971.
84-year-old Mahidur, son of late Subedar Ali Biswas of Dadanchak in Shibganj, was involved in the politics of Muslim League and joined the Peace Committee and Razakar force during the war.
On the other hand, now 65-year-old Afsar, son of late Kutub Uddin Morol of Satrosia of Shibganj, was also an active member of Muslim League and joined the Peace Committee and Razakar force in 1971.
Afsar is yet to file an appeal against the conviction.
