The condition of former Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Prof Ghulam Azam, who is serving 90-year imprisonment for war crimes, has improved in the last 24 hours, doctors at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) Hospital have said. ‘Ghulam Azam is now out of danger,’ they said on Saturday. The octogenarian former politician has been under an intense observation of doctors at the coronary care unit (CCU) of the BSMMU Hospital since Friday morning. He was shifted to the CCU from a prison cell of the hospital around 8am on Friday after he complained of chest pain. Later, the doctors informed that the condition of his health is gradually improving. He is out of danger, they said today. The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT)-1 sentenced Ghulam Azam to 90 years in prison on July 15 last year for war time offences committed during Bangladesh’s independence struggles in 1971, according to a news agency.
