The legal battle in the war crimes case against Motiur Rahman Nizami has finally drawn to a close after 69 long months. The man, who led the ruthless militia Al-Badr in the massacre of Bangalees including intellectuals and professionals during the 1971 Liberation War, has now only one option left -- seeking presidential clemency by confessing to the crimes he committed during the nine-month war.
Mahidur Rahman and Afsar Hossain, alleged members of Razakar force of Chapainawabganj, have been facing three war crimes charges including mass killing, torture, arson and looting.
A tribunal in Dhaka sentences Mahidur Rahman and Afsar Hossain to life until death on one charge of crimes against humanity committed in Chapainawabganj during the Liberation War in 1971.
