Mohiuddin seeks SC approval to move against death sentence
Unb, Dhaka
Condemned prisoner AKM Mohiuddin Ahmed yesterday filed an application with the Supreme Court for approval to move against his death sentence in the Bangabandhu murder case."A petition for condoning an inordinate delay in filing the jail appeal has also been enclosed with the application," a Dhaka Central Jail authority source said, without elaborating. Office of the registrar of the Supreme Court already received the application in the afternoon. He is one of the 12 former army officers sentenced to death for assassinating Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in a bloody coup on August 15, 1975. On June 18, after nine years of a fugitive life in the USA, Mohiuddin was brought back home from Los Angeles. He was deported by the US Homeland Security after a district court in California turned down his appeal. Mohiuddin, 60, a major at the time of the coup, was tried in absentia and sentenced to death in 1998 along with the rest.
