According to a report by Amar Desh published on May 10, 2026, the death verdict of BNP Standing Committee member Salauddin Quader Chowdhury was allegedly written inside Bangladesh’s Law Ministry rather than by the International Crimes Tribunal judges. The report claims that under the supervision of then–State Minister for Law Kamrul Islam, a team of three officials prepared the verdict based on dictation from Dr. Ahmed Ziauddin. The document was reportedly emailed from the acting law secretary’s personal account to the tribunal chairman’s email on September 30, 2013, a day before the verdict was read in court.
The report cites tribunal officials, ministry staff, and Chowdhury’s family members, who alleged that the verdict was predetermined and politically motivated. Chowdhury’s lawyers argued in court that the judges merely read a verdict written elsewhere, and Amnesty International and the International Court of Justice later questioned the fairness of the trial. The government subsequently prosecuted several individuals for leaking the verdict copy.
Chowdhury was executed on November 22, 2015. His family and lawyers continue to describe the case as a “judicial killing,” while his son Hummam Quader Chowdhury later testified that he was abducted and tortured for seeking justice for his father’s death.
