The International Crimes Tribunal on Thursday issued a warrant for the death of condemned war crimes convict Mojaheed. Wrapped in red cloth, the warrant was sent to Dhaka Central Jail at about 3:00pm on the day and then it was read out to the Jamaat secretary general.

The then International Crimes Tribunal-2 on 17 July 2013 awarded Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed death penalty for committing crimes against humanity during the Independence War in collaboration with the Pakistan occupation forces, after finding the Al Badr boss guilty of five, out of seven, charges.

On 11 August 2013, condemned convict Mojaheed filed an appeal with the Appellate Division against his capital punishment awarded by the ICT-2.
