The parliament amended a law so sentences of those convicted of war crimes can be appealed and parties linked to war crimes can be banned. Eight of 11 persons accused of war crimes in Bangladesh belong to the Jamaat-e-Islami party. The JI warned that the legislation could “push the country into severe anarchy.” A blogger who had helped organize protests against the JI was hacked to death.
