Family asked to meet Kamaruzzaman by 5:00pm.

The jail authority on Monday asked the family members of the condemned war crimes convict Muhammad Kamaruzzaman to meet him at the Dhaka Central Jail by 5:00pm. The jail superintendent Forman Ali told New Age that they already called the family over phone in this regard after the dismissal of Kamaruzzaman’s review petition by the Appellate Division. A formal letter was received by Kamaruzzaman’s wife around 2:30pm over the meeting with Kamaruzzaman at jail, his son Hasan Iqbal said. Meanwhile, Kamaruzzman’s lawyer Shishir Monir said that the jail authority denied the lawyers’ to meet their client as they wanted to consult with Kamaruzzaman on a matter of seeking presidential reprieve. The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on Monday dismissed Kamaruzzaman’s appeal seeking review of its decision that had upheld his death sentence in war crimes case. This verdict cleared the way for carrying out the death warrant for his execution. A four-member bench headed by chief justice Surendra Kumar Sinha pronounced the judgement around 9:10am on a review petition filed by Kamaruzzaman.
