SC adjourns Kamaruzzaman's death penalty appeal hearing till Sep 2

The Supreme Court yesterday adjourned the hearing till September 2 on the appeal filed by Jamaat-e-Islami Assistant Secretary General Muhammad Kamaruzzaman challenging the death penalty given to him for committing war crimes.
The adjournment order came after Kamaruzzaman's counsel Nazrul Islam prayed for it as the court will go for a 37-day annual vacation from tomorrow.
The court has so far heard the appeal for 11 days since June 5. On May 9, International Crimes Tribunal-2 sentenced Kamaruzzaman, one of the key organisers of the infamous Al Badr force, to death. He filed the appeal with the SC on June 6.
