A five-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Md Muzammel Hossain will hear the appeal. Earlier on February 28 last year, the International Crimes Tribunal-1 sentenced Sayedee to death for killing Ibrahim Kutti and one Bisa Bali in Pirojpur district during the Liberation War in 1971. Immediately after announcement of the verdict, Jamaat-Shibir activists and their clique carried out destructive activities across the court, including killings of many innocent people, torching vehicles, damaging property and cutting down hundreds of trees demanding cancellation of the verdict.
