War crimes: Mir Quasem hanged

Bangladeshi activists who fought in the 1971 war, celebrate after Mir Quasem Ali, leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, was executed in Kashimpur Central Jail on the outskirts of Dhaka on September 3, 2016. Bangladesh hanged a wealthy tycoon and top financial backer of its largest Islamist party late Saturday for war crimes, dealing a massive blow to the group's ambitions in the Muslim-majority nation. Mir Quasem Ali, a key leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, was executed after being convicted by a controversial war crimes tribunal for offences committed during the 1971 independence conflict with Pakistan.
