“The death sentence will be executed any time after 12am,” Inspector General (prisons) AKM Mostafa Kamal Pasha said. Earlier in the day, authorities at the Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj finished all preparations for the execution of Majed. Meanwhile, Majed wished to see his wife before execution as she did not visit him when Majed’s family met him on Friday night. Majed’s wife told Dhaka Tribune she is now on her way to visit him. In 1998, a Dhaka sessions judge’s court found 15 people guilty and awarded the death penalty.
