abstract
  • Abdul Quader Molla () (born 14 August 1948) is a politician in Bangladesh, convicted of war crimes during 1971 liberation war of Bangladesh. He is the assistant secretary-general of the Jamaat-e-Islami, the largest Islamist party in the country. He is the former executive editor of The Daily Sangram, and twice unsuccessfully stood for parliament in 1986 and 1996, contesting the seat Faridpur-4 for Jamaat-e-Islami. He was convicted on five of six counts of crimes against humanity and war crimes at his trial at the International Crimes Tribunal, on 5 February 2013. A member of the Al-Badar militia during the liberation war, Mollah was convicted of killing 344 civilians and other crimes. He was sentenced to life in prison. As a direct result of the sentence the 2013 Shahbag protests began with the protestors demanding capital punishment for all those on trial. The protest spread from Dhaka to other parts of the country. Protesters called for those convicted of war crimes to be sentenced to capital punishment, and also to ban Jamaat-e-Islami. Jamaat-e-Islmi started violent counter-protest in the country, demanding the release of its convicted and accused leaders. On September 17, 2013, the Bangladesh Supreme Court found Molla guilty of murders and other war crimes and he was given capital punishment, converting his life sentence to death sentence.
