man faces deportation, execution

The Los Angeles Times has a story on Mohiuddin A.K.M. Ahmed, a translator for a telephone company who has been living in Los Angeles for the last ten years, who has been ordered to return to Bangladesh to face execution for his role in a 1975 military coup: L.A. man fights deportation to Bangladesh. He was tried in absentia in Bangladesh in 1996, convicted of murder and sentenced to death by hanging for taking part in the coup, which led to the killings of the country's leader and most of his family. He's now fighting an eleventh-hour battle to avoid deportation—and certain death. However, a grandson of the Bangladeshi leader killed in the coup is calling Ahmed a "cold-blooded killer" who also killed a 10-year-old boy during the coup. Ahmed denies involvment in any such violence. So what's going to happen? My guess, he's going back to Bangladesh... and it's going to be ugly.
