Bangladesh hangs Jamaat-e-Islami member for war crimes
Bangladeshi media tycoon and a member of Jamaat-e-Islami, Mir Quasem Ali was hanged on Saturday for atrocities committed during the 1971 war of independence. The 63-year-old did not seek presidential clemency after the Supreme Court rejected his final review petition. Notably, Ali became the sixth top perpetrator to be hanged for the massacre of 30 lakh people in 1971.
