Welcoming the verdict, Gonojagoron Moncho has urged the government to execute the verdict of the tribunal that handed down death penalty to former Awami League leader Mobarak Hossain.
Moncho spokesperson Imran H Sarkar made the call at a rally in the capital’s Shahbagh, immediate after the verdict was announced on Monday afternoon.
Imran said: “We welcome the verdict. There was an uncertainty that the verdict might be influenced as Mobarak had joined the ruling party after the Liberation War.”
He also gave special thanks to the government as it did not influence the verdict and established that a war criminal must have to face justice wherever he belongs to.
Meanwhile, both the factions of Gonojagoron Moncho and Bangladesh Chhatra League members brought out separate joyous rallies at Shahbagh in the capital after the verdict was pronounced.
