A Muslim leader living in Britain has been sentenced to death after being found guilty of war crimes in his native Bangladesh.
Chowdhury Mueen Uddin was sentenced in his absence at a special war crimes tribunal in his home country after refusing to return to Bangladesh to face trial, the Associated Press reported.
He was found guilty of abducting and murdering 18 people including nine university teachers, six journalists and three physicians in December 1971, during the country’s fight for independence against Pakistan.
The court also convicted Ashrafuzzaman Khan, who is currently in New York.
Bangladesh says Pakistani soldiers and local collaborators killed 3 million people and raped 200,000 women during the war.
