SC order on Subhan’s appeal tomorrow

The Supreme Court is set to pass an order tomorrow on the appeal filed by convicted war criminal and Jamaat-e-Islami leader Abdus Subhan challenging his death penalty.

The apex court has included the appeal in its cause [proceeding] list for an order, according the cause list uploaded in the SC website.   

The SC may ask the state and defence counsels to submit concise statements on the appeal and may fix a date for its hearing, Assistant Attorney General Bashir Ahmed told The Daily Star.

Subhan on March 18, 2015 filed the appeal with the SC challenging his death penalty given by a war crimes tribunal for committing war crimes in 1971.
