Bangladeshi women shout slogans demanding the execution of war criminals

Bangladeshi women shout slogans demanding the execution of Jamaat-e-Islami leader Abdul Quader Mollah and others convicted of war crimes involving the nation’s independence war in 1971, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2013. Protestors urged Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to review a verdict sentencing the senior leader of Bangladesh’s largest Islamic party to life in prison for killings and other crimes. The protesters said the life term was not enough since a tribunal had found Abdul Quader Mollah guilty of five charges, including playing a role in the killing of 381 unarmed civilians. Banner reads “we demand the execution of those convicted of war crimes.”
