Family member sources said there are physicians and nurses in the team to look after Mir Qasim’s wife Khandaker Ayesha Khatun as she is sick. Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal told the Dhaka Tribune that they have already sent the executive order of the execution to the jail authorities. Earlier, the jail authorities had asked Mir Quasem’s family to meet him at Kashimpur Central Jail 2 in Gazipur in the afternoon. Mir Quasem’s wife Khandaker Ayesha Khatun confirmed it to the Dhaka Tribune, saying the prison authorities had asked them to meet him at 3:30pm. Quasem had spent a huge sum of money to appoint a US lobbyist to make the war crimes trials controversial.
