| After verdict, insecurity grips witnesses |

| [Dhaka Tribune] Panic has gripped the families of prosecution witnesses Manik Poshari and others in the case against convicted war criminal Delwar Hossain Sayeedi ...Islamic orator and politician. He was a former Member of Parliament in the National Assembly of Bangladesh from 1996 to 2008, and is one of the most prominent leaders of the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami... as they fear further persecution by the Jamaat leader's supporters as the final verdict in the appeals case delivered yesterday. Dissatisfied with the verdict of "imprisonment until death," they think the lenient judgement did not ensure justice for the victims of atrocities committed by Sayeedi and his men in Pirojpur during the 1971 Liberation War. |
