Excerpts
The court said Nizami, purportedly an Islamic scholar, misinterpreted the Koran to encourage his followers to conduct a massive genocide and atrocities. 


However, the long-awaited verdict was hailed by scores of political and social-cultural organisations who termed it “a curse removed” of impunity to all those who perpetrated the worst crimes against humanity in the name of religion and Pakistan.

:
The tribunal found the Jamaat chief to be criminally responsible for the execution of leading secular intellectuals and conspiracy to commit war crimes.

One of the charges proved said that Nizami, as the key leader of the Al Badr killing squad, was complicit in the torture, murder, rape and the training given to local Pakistani collaborators who went on to commit crimes against humanity.

Nizami was also found guilty of heading the “Gestapo-like attacks” largely around Dec 14, 1971 to eliminate the top Bengali professionals and intellectuals just two days before Bangladesh won its independence on Dec 16.
:
The ICT-1 framed 16 charges against Nizami in 2012. He was charged with conspiring with the Pakistani army, planning and inciting crimes; involvement in murders, rapes, looting and destruction of property; and commissioning internationally recognised wartime crimes in 1971.
