Kashimpur prison authorities have asked Quasem’s family to meet him on Saturday afternoon. In a Facebook post, Quasem’s daughter Sumaiya Rabeya said her father was a soft-hearted person who would cry every time he made a speech. She said the family was going to meet him, probably for the last time, had come to terms with Quasem’s impending execution. This would only make him a martyr, something that he had struggled for during his entire life, said Quasem’s daughter Sumaiya. War crimes suspects were brought to trial after the government set up the International Crimes Tribunal in 2010.
