On that day, attorney general Mahbubey Alam said the convict has a chance to file a review petition within 15 days from the publication of full verdict.
But, the defense lawyer Shishir Munir claimed that the period would be counted from the day of receipt.

On May 9, 2013, the ICT-2, led-by Justice Obaidul Hassan, awarded capital punishment to the Jamaat assistant secretary general for his crimes against humanity during country’s Liberation War in 1971.
