Moulana Motiur Rahman Nizami waves to his supporters during a rally protesting against Western newspapers that published cartoons on Prophet Mohammad in Dhaka February 11, 2006.
'Considering the gravity of the crimes, the tribunal punished him with the death sentence,' state prosecutor Mohammad Ali told reporters.
The sentence passed on Motiur Rahman Nizami, a 71-year-old former legislator and minister, could provoke protests by supporters of his Islamist party who say the government has used the tribunal to weaken its political opponents.
