Bangladesh has Executed Islamist Leader Abdul Quader Mollah for war crimes! For more Latest and Breaking News Headlines SUBSCRIBE to https://www.youtube.com/user/ZakWorldNEWS Bangladesh has executed Islamist opposition leader Abdul Quader Mollah for war crimes committed in 1971, in a move likely to ignite violent protests less than a month before elections are due. The deputy law minister Quamrul Islam confirmed that 65 year-old Mollah was hanged at 10.01 pm local time in the Dhaka Central Jail. The execution makes Mollah the first person to be put to death for massacres committed during the country's 1971 war of independence. Mollah was assistant secretary-general of the Jamaat-e-Islami party which is barred from contesting the elections but plays a key role in the opposition movement led by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). The hanging took place just hours after the country's Supreme Court dismissed Mollah's appeal for a final review of his death sentence, removing the last legal option against his execution. Mollah met his wife and children at the Dhaka jail for one last time hours before his execution. They said he was "calm". "He has told us that he is proud to be a martyr for the cause of Islamic movement in the country," Mollah's son Hasan Jamil said afterwards. Security concerns Security has been tightened outside the jail gate and in the capital Dhaka, with the authorities putting paramilitary border guards in key flashpoints. Islamists and opposition protesters armed with crude bombs and rocks clashed with police in riots in several cities across the country after the Supreme Court announced the verdict that paved the way for the execution. Mollah was originally due to be hanged on Tuesday night after he refused to seek presidential clemency. But in a night of high drama, a judge stayed the hanging just 90 minutes before the scheduled execution, amid international concern over the fairness of the war crime trials of mainly opposition leaders. At his trial, Mollah was found to have been a leader of a pro-Pakistan militia which fought against the country's independence and killed some of Bangladesh's top professors, doctors, writers and journalists. He was convicted of rape, murder and mass murder, including the killing of more than 350 unarmed civilians. Prosecutors described him as the "Butcher of Mirpur", a Dhaka suburb where he committed most of the atrocities. Hundreds of protesters erupted in celebration after they heard news of the execution. They have been camping at Shahbagh square in Dhaka since Tuesday night, shouting slogans including: "Hang Quader Molla, hang war criminals".
