Unfortunately, those laws in BD are obsolete and need serious reformation. I rather like the idea of imprisonment than hanging till death, as life as a prisoner can never be enjoyable no matter how poshly lived. The only thing that can quench the thirst of mango people gathered in Shahbag is a ruling from the Supreme Court that no authoritative person like the President will be allowed to alter his sentences in future to announce sympathetic forgiveness like they do in different national days as part of the celebration. To quell those who are depressed by the thing that he might lead a very pleasant life inside the jail, the same authority can add to their verdict that he won't be allowed to receive division. Considering the specificity of the crime done and current national sentiment such decisions would be more legitimate and should be undertaken instantly.
Well Mollah has several sentences running concurrently which should technically cover the duration of his life...but how do we know that he won't get presidential clemency ?
