Chittagong, Oct 31 — The Liberal Democratic Party president has demanded the release of Jamaat-e-Islami leaders including Motiur Rahman Nizami, Ali Ahsan Mohammed Mojaheed and Delwar Hossain Sayedee.
"The Jamaat leaders who are under the age of52 did not commit any crimes against humanity," Oli Ahmed told a Chittagong rally on Monday.
"Because they were high school students back then," Oli claimed.
Jamaat top leaders Nizami, Mojaheed, Muhammad Kamaruzzaman, Sayedee, Quader Molla and senior BNP leader Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury are in detention facing charges of crimes against humanity in the Liberation War of 1971.
Formation of charges is being heard against Sayedee.
Oli received the title of Bir Bikram for his bravery in the Liberation War. He fought in the sector one.
Oli, a retired army man-turned politician who helped launch the centre-right BNP in 1978, deserted the party during its previous term in office to form LDP.
He expressed his intention to tie up a deal with the main opposition on July 5. His party also extended support to BNP's anti-government movements.
