Bangladesh’s High Court on October 30, 2023 commuted the death sentences of seven Islamic militants to life in prison for their role in a 2016 attack on a cafe in the capital, Dhaka, that killed 20 people, mostly foreigners.
A special anti-terrorism tribunal in 2019 sentenced the seven members of a banned militant group to death in the attack that triggered a major crackdown on extremists.
The group behind the attack on the Holey Artisan Cafe, the Jumatul Mujahedeen Bangladesh, wants to establish Sharia law in the secular Muslim-majority nation of more than 160 million.
A two-member panel of High Court judges on October 30 commuted the death sentences of the seven men after rejecting their appeals challenging the verdict, said defense lawyer Aminul Ehsan Zubayer.
He said that the High Court found that the men were guilty of hatching conspiracy, provoking and abetting the militants who directly took part in the attack.
The attack on the cafe began after the militants took hostages, opened fire and exploded bombs. Twenty hostages were killed, including 17 from Japan, Italy and India, after a 12-hour standoff.
Investigators said that 21 people, including five gunmen who were killed by security forces at the cafe, were involved in the attack.
Seven men were convicted and one was acquitted.
Eight other suspects were killed in security raids after the attack.
The Islamic State group had claimed responsibility for the attack, but the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina rejected it, saying the domestic group was behind it.
The attack followed several years of smaller attacks targeting scores of individuals deemed by extremists to be enemies of Islam, including secularists, writers, religious minorities, foreigners and activists.

The Rajshahi Central Jail authorities on July 27, 2023 hanged two death row convicts in the 2006 murder of Professor S Taher Ahmed, a teacher of Rajshahi University’s geology and mining department.
The convicts are Miah Mohammad Mohiuddin, a colleague of Prof Taher, and Jahangir Alam, the caretaker of the teacher’s house.
They were executed at 10:01pm on July 27, said Inspector General of Prisons Brig Gen ASM Anisul Haque.
Mohiuddin plotted the murder of Prof Taher while Jahangir and two others executed Mohiuddin’s plan for money, according to police investigation.
Prof Taher disappeared on Feb 1, 2006. At the time Taher’s children were living in Dhaka’s Uttara for their studies and their mother had gone to visit them, leaving the professor home alone.
His body was recovered from a sewage line near his residence two days later. Taher’s son Sanjid Alvi Ahmed filed a murder case with Motihar Police Station on Feb 3 of that year.
Police pressed charges against six suspects on Mar 18, 2007.
They were Mohiuddin, a former student of Taher who later became a colleague, former RU Shibir president Mahbubul Alam Salehi and Alam's father Ajumuddin Munshi, caretaker Jahangir Alam, Alam's brother former Chhatra Shibir activist Abdus Salam and Salam's relative Nazmul.
During the trial, Jahangir, Nazmul and Salam testified that Mohiuddin had persuaded them to kill Taher with promises of money, computers and university jobs. Mohiuddin denied the allegations.
The police investigation found that Mohiuddin had applied for a promotion at the university. Taher was part of the committee that scrutinised his application. Taher pointed out some of Mohiuddin’s deceptions to the panel and the allegations were later proven in an investigation.
Mohiuddin then plotted Taher’s murder, arranging for him to be killed at his home and have his body dumped in a manhole.
On May 22, 2008, a Rajshahi court sentenced four of the suspects – Mohiuddin, Jahangir, Salam and Nazmul – to death and acquitted Salehi and Ajumuddin.
In line with procedural law, the case was then transferred to the High Court.
On Apr 21, 2013, the High Court upheld the death sentences for Mohiuddin and Jahangir, but reduced Salam and Nazmul’s sentences to life in prison.
The suspects then appealed the decision to the Appellate Division, while the state petitioned for the restoration of the death penalty for the two whose sentences had been commuted.
The hearing on the matter took place nine years later. The country’s top court upheld the death sentences of two convicts in a review of the decision on Mar 5, 2022.
The convicts later sought clemency from the president, but the petition was also rejected by the head of state.
The High Court, and then the Appellate Division, rejected an appeal seeking a stay on the execution of Jahangir’s death sentence, paving the way for the prison authorities to hang him and Mohiuddin.

19 June 2023 :

A jailed Bangladeshi hangman who executed more than two dozen fellow prisoners including killers and coup plotters in exchange for sentence reductions was released on June 18, 2023, officials said.
Shahjahan Bhuiyan gained notoriety for putting 26 people to death during his time inside after he highlighted to officials his skills with a noose upon entering prison 32 years ago for murder.
His executions included military officers found guilty of plotting a 1975 coup and of killing the country’s founding leader, who is the father of current prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
“His jail sentence was reduced for hangings he carried out,” said Tania Zaman, deputy chief of Dhaka Central Jail, adding his executions numbered 26 while incarcerated.
Among those he hanged were top Islamist leader Ali Ahsan Mujahid and opposition stalwart Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury after both were charged with war crimes, according to another jail official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
In 2007 he also hanged Siddique Islam, alias Bangla Bhai, an Islamist leader of the outlawed Jamayetul Mujahideen Bangladesh, which led a nationwide bombing campaign two years earlier, the official added.
The 74-year-old defended his acts, saying it helped him cut his sentence.
“If I didn’t hang them, someone else will do it,” Bhuiyan said. “Even if I feel sympathetic towards him, as a convict, I am bound to do it.”
Bangladesh inherited capital punishment from its British colonial rulers, and has executed nearly 500 people since independence from Pakistan in 1971.
Human rights groups say more than 2,000 prisoners are on death row in the country, including hundreds of Islamist extremists and border guard mutineers convicted of murdering senior military officers.
The nation is one of a handful that still carry out death sentences by hanging.
All of Bangladesh’s executioners are, like Bhuiyan, long-serving prisoners who have been selected and trained.
Bhuiyan was first drafted in to execute Ershad Sikder in 2007, a mass murderer accused of killing 24 people.
“No matter what crime a person does, when he is in front of death, you’ll feel some sympathy for him,” the lifelong bachelor told reporters.
“I served a prison term for a long time … The authorities ensured my comfort and honoured me,” Bhuiyan added. “I had a good time.”
