A war crimes tribunal in Bangladesh has found a leader of the main Islamist party guilty of crimes against humanity during the war for independence from Pakistan in 1971.
Abdul Kader Mullah of Jamaat-e-Islami, who denied all the charges, was sentenced to life in prison.
Official estimates say more than three million people were killed in the war.
But the trial has sparked protests from supporters who accuse the government of pursuing a political vendetta.
Jamaat has called a national strike for Tuesday, and clashes between police and protesters broke out in Dhaka and several other cities.
