We\\\'ll fight until the end, Kamaruzzaman defence

Md Kamaruzzaman's defence counsel has said they will continue the 'legal battle' until his client's death sentence, upheld by the Supreme Court (SC), is reviewed, reports bdnews24.com.
Tajul Islam, who represents Jamaat-e-Islami's top leadership at the war crimes tribunals, said: "On behalf of Kamaruzzaman, I'll say he did not get justice."
The Appellate Division (AD) of the Supreme Court (SC) upheld the death sentence for the former Al-Badr leader for killing 120 men and raping women from Shohaghpur village at Sherpur's Nalitabari.
The genocide charge said, the Pakistani Army surrounded the village on June 25, 1971 on Kamaruzzaman's advice, then acting present of Jamaat's student wing Islami Chhatra Sangha in Mymensingh.
"The Appellate Division has upheld the tribunal's verdict. Nothing is more painful," Islam told reporters outside the court Monday.
"We're deeply wounded, but we'll continue our legal battle."
Stating that there was no scope to make any comment on the Supreme Court's verdict, he said. "Kamaruzzaman has been denied justice. But we need to adhere to the verdict of the apex court."
He, however, said the sentence could not be executed without giving a chance for review.
The prosecution, however, said there is no provision for reviewing an appeal verdict.
"Review is a constitutional right. The prosecution has been saying that a review isn't possible. But there was a review in (Abdul) Quader Molla's case.
"We'll file a review, and there will be a hearing and the judges then can decide either way. It can be scrapped if it is not sustainable," he said, stressing that the legal battle will be pursued until the end.
As for the possibility of the Jamaat assistant secretary general seeking presidential pardon, he said, "It is his personal matter."
Meanwhile, Kamaruzzaman's family says they will file a review petition against the SC's decision to uphold his death.
