Staff Correspondent: Death row convict war criminal Salauddin Quader Chowdhury has decided to file review petition against the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) verdict that the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court upheld.

His lawyer Hujjatul Islam Khan Alfesani confirmed the matter to media on Tuesday.

The lawyer was on his way to Kashimpur Central Jail to talk to Salauddin Quader Chowdhury about the review petition.

Hujjatul Islam Khan said that Salauddin Quader Chowdhury is dissatisfied on the verdict.

The convict took the decision after going through the complete verdict, he said.

Wartime terror of Chittagong, Chowdhury has been lodged at Kashimpur jail since December 23, 2012.

Earlier on Thursday, the International Crime Tribunal (ICT) issued death warrant against him for crimes against humanity during the country’s Liberation War in 1971.

The death warrant was read out to Chowdhury after it reached the prison on that day.

The war crimes tribunal sentenced him to death on Oct 1, 2013, after it found him guilty in nine out of the 23 charges levelled against him.
