(FILES) This file photograph taken on November 2, 2014, shows Bangladeshi Jamaat-e-Islami party leader, Mir Quasem Ali waving as he enters a van at the International Crimes Tribunal court in Dhaka. A wealthy tycoon who was a chief financier for Bangladesh's largest Islamist party could be executed in days after losing his final appeal on 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 / STRINGERSTRINGER/AFP/Getty Images
