Hummam Quader Chowdhury, son of BNP leader Salauddin Quader Chowdhury, who was executed for 1971 war crimes, has expressed hope that he can prove his father’s “innocence” and expose what he calls a “judicial killing”.

Speaking at a press conference at his father’s Dhanmondi residence yesterdat afternoon, Hummam said the family possesses evidence that could support their claims.

“With this evidence, we will approach the court,” he added.

Hummam alleged that the war crimes tribunal, which convicted his father, was controversial and influenced by political actors.

“During my father’s case, the Skype scandal came to light,” he said at the press conference, where Salauddin’s wife and two other children were also present.

Hummam claimed that his father’s verdict was not being written in the tribunal. “It was being written in the law ministry.”
