Bangladeshi police officials stand at an entrance to The Supreme Court in Dhaka on August 30, 2016, following a reprieve petition of Jamaat-e-Islami leader Mir Quasem Ali's death sentence. A wealthy tycoon who was a chief financier for Bangladesh's largest Islamist party could be executed in days after losing his final appeal August 30, 2016, against a death sentence from a controversial war crimes tribunal. The Supreme Court rejected Mir Quasem Ali's last attempt to overturn the death penalty handed down two years ago by the domestic tribunal for murders committed during Bangladesh's 1971 independence conflict. / AFP PHOTO / REHMAN ASADREHMAN ASAD/AFP/Getty Images
