It is up to Motiur Rahman Nizami whether he will seek for mercy or not, said defence lawyer for the convicted war criminal, whose review plea against the gallows was scrapped today.
“We can’t say anything about it. Our client (Nizami) will take decision on it,” Khandker Mahbub Hossain, Nizami’s principal lawyer said after the apex court’s order.
