ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) – Pakistan has expressed deep concern over dismissal of the review application on the death sentence by the Bangladesh Supreme Court for Jamaat-e-Islami leader Motiur Rahman Nizami.

In a statement issued today, Foreign Office (FO) said Pakistan has been following the reaction of the international community and human rights organizations to the controversial trials in Bangladesh related to the events of 1971.

It said there is a need for reconciliation in Bangladesh in accordance with the spirit of Tripartite Agreement of April 1974, which calls for a forward looking approach in matters relating to the events of 1971.

Meanwhile, Punjab Assembly, in unanimously passed resolution on Friday, expressed concern over rejection of the review application of Motiur Rehman Nizami by the Bangladeshi Supreme Court.

The resolution was moved by the Parliamentary Leader of Jamaat e Islami in Punjab Assembly Dr. Waseem Akhtar.

The resolution urged the federal government to contact Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the United Nations for halting implementation of the death penalty.

Earlier, Bangladesh’s Supreme Court upheld the death sentence of Motiur Rahman Nizami for war crimes yesterday.
