ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has expressed concerns over the execution of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh Ameer MotiurRahman Nizami.
In a statement in Islamabad on Wednesday, Foreign Office spokesperson Nafees Zakaria said the only sin of Nizami was that he upheld the constitution and laws of Pakistan, Radio Pakistan reported.
He said the act of suppressing the opposition by killing their leaders through flawed trials is completely against the spirit of democracy.
The execution is also unfortunate for the people of Bangladesh who had elected Nizami as their representative in the Parliament.
The spokesperson said that ever since the beginning of the trials, several international organizations, human rights groups and international legal figures have raised objections to the court proceedings, especially regarding fairness and transparency, as well as reported harassment of lawyers and witnesses representing the accused.
He offered condolences to the bereaved family members and the followers of Nizami.
