A lawyer of convicted war criminal Salauddin Quader Chowdhury will meet him at Kashimpur jail-1 in Gazipur today to discuss filing of a review petition against the Supreme Court judgement.

Huzzatul Islam, one of Salauddin's lawyer who started for the jail around 11:30am, told The Daily Star that he was going there to discuss the points which Salauddin will mention in his petition to be filed seeking review of the apex court verdict that had upheld death penalty for his crimes against humanity.

This is first time a lawyer for Salauddin is going to meet him at the jail after the SC released the full verdict.

On September 30, the SC released full verdict upholding the death penalty awarded to Salauddin by International Crimes Tribunal-1 for his crimes in 1971.

On October 1, 2013, the tribunal found the Salauddin, now 66, guilty of nine of the 23 charges brought against him of committing crimes against.

The tribunal handed him death penalty on each of four charges -- involvement in the killing of Natun Chandra Singha, Awami League leader Mozaffar Ahmed and his son; and genocide in Raozan.

The tribunal sentenced him to 20 years in jail for each of three charges -- acts of genocide at Madhya Gohira Hindu Para, and acts of genocide, persecution and deportation at Jagotmallo Para, and the killing of Satish Chandra Palit in Raozan.

He was found guilty and sentenced to five years' imprisonment on each of two charges of abducting, confining and torturing Saleh Uddin, who later became vice-chancellor of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, and Nizamuddin Ahmed, who later became a journalist.
