Muhammad Kamaruzzaman (4 July 1952 – 11 April 2015) was a Bangladeshi politician and journalist who served as the senior assistant secretary general of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and was convicted of war crimes during the 1971 Liberation war of Bangladesh.[1][2] He was executed by hanging at Dhaka Central Jail at 22:01 on 11 April 2015.[3]
Besides his political career, Kamaruzzaman also was the editor of the Weekly Sonar Bangla.[4] On 9 May 2013 the International Crimes Tribunal sentenced him to death after it found Kamaruzzaman guilty of crimes against humanity including genocide, killing, rape, looting, arson, and deportation of people during the Bangladesh Liberation War.[5] Kamaruzzaman denied all charges, stating they were politically motivated.[6][7] The trial itself was criticized by international observers and opposition figures and was mired in controversies.[8][9]
