The International Crimes Tribunal awarded death penalty to one, and jailed two others for life term for their crimes against humanity in Habiganj in 1971.

Mohibur Rahman of Habiganj has been sentenced to death and his younger sibling Mujibur Rahman and cousin Abdur Razzak awarded life term on Wednesday.
