Chowdhury Mueen Uddin was sentenced in his absence at a special war crimes tribunal after refusing to return to Bangladesh to face trial
Chowdhury Mueen Uddin was found guilty of abducting and murdering 18 people including nine university teachers, six journalists and three physicians in December 1971, during the country's fight for independence against Pakistan.
The court also convicted Ashrafuzzaman Khan, who is currently in New York.
Uddin and Khan were members of Islamic party Jamaat-e-Islami during the 1971 war.
The party is allied with the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party headed by former prime minister Khaleda Zia, a rival of current prime minister Sheikh Hasina
