Editing Ghulam Azam (section)

===War crimes trial===
On 11 January 2012 Azam was arrested on charges of war crimes, genocide and [[crimes against humanity]] following the Bangladeshi government's renewed efforts to track down Pakistani war criminals. Due to his advanced age he was admitted to hospital before being deemed fit to stand trial.

Azam was charged with five counts of war crimes due to his involvement in the [[torture]] and [[murder]] of a police officer and multiple Bangladeshi civilians. He was convicted on all counts and sentenced to 90 years in prison, having been spared the death penalty due to his age. He later died in jail on 23 October 2014 after suffering a stroke.
