| Video Discription | (13 Dec 2013) A Bangladeshi opposition leader and convicted war criminal Abdul Quader Mollah was buried by his relatives and neighbours in the early hours of Friday morning, after he was hanged the previous evening. Abdul Quader Mollah, 65, was hanged at 10:01 pm (16:01 GMT) on Thursday night for war crimes committed during Bangladesh's 1971 war of independence against Pakistan. Speaking at the funeral, the local secretary of Mollah's Jamaat-e-Islami party, said they had asked the police to delay his burial so his family could attend but their request had been denied. "The administration replied saying it was under pressure from higher authorities and it (Mollah's body) couldn't be kept. All the arrangements were made by the administration," said Md Badruddin. Mollah's execution sparked violent protests on Friday as activists torched homes and businesses belonging to government supporters, leaving at least three people dead, in a fresh wave of bloodshed ahead of elections next month. In Rangpur and Satkhira, Jamaat-e-Islami supporters marched through the streets in protest, lighting fires and felling trees to block main roads. Mollah was the first person to be hanged for war crimes in Bangladesh under an international tribunal established in 2010 to investigate atrocities stemming from the independence war. The tribunal remains politically volatile because most of those being tried are connected to the country's Islamist opposition. Those who support the execution say that Mollah was hanged for serious crimes, and that the punishment had nothing to do with Islam. Bangladesh says Pakistani soldiers, aided by local collaborators including Mollah, killed at least 3 million people and raped 200,000 women during the nine-month war against Pakistan. The special tribunal convicted Mollah of killing a student and a family of 11, and of aiding Pakistani troops in killing 369 other people during the war. The court had stopped his execution at the last minute Tuesday night - just hours before he was due to be hanged - before rejecting his final appeal.
