Jamaat calls 48-hour strike from Sunday

Jamaat-e-Islami will hit the country with a nonstop 48-hour shutdown from Sunday, having rejected the death sentence for party executive council member Delwar Hossain Sayedee.

The party’s Acting Secretary General Rafiqul Islam on Thursday announced the protest programme in a statement released in the evening.

Earlier in the day, the International Crimes Tribunal-1 had judged that Jamaat policymaker Sayedee will have to hang for his crimes against humanity including genocide, murder, rape, arson, loot and persecution during the 1971 Liberation War.
