AG hopeful about full verdict in 3 wks

Attorney General Mahbubey Alam has expressed hope that the Supreme Court will release its full verdict, which upheld the death sentence on Jamaat-e-Islami leader Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed for war crimes, in two to three weeks.

After the verdict is released the government can start the process of Mojaheed's execution, the attorney general told The Daily Star  yesterday. On June 16, the SC in the short verdict upheld Mojaheed's death penalty for planning and instigating the killing of intellectuals and professionals near the end of the Liberation War.

After release of the full verdict Mojaheed can file a review petition with the SC within 15 days, but if it is rejected his last option to save himself is presidential clemency.
