Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury (13 March 1949 – 22 November 2015) was a Bangladeshi politician, minister and six-term member of Jatiya Sangsad and member of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Standing Committee, who served as the adviser of parliamentary affairs to Prime Minister Khaleda Zia in from 2001 to 2006.[2] On 1 October 2013 he was convicted of 9 of 23 charges and sentenced to death by the International Crimes Tribunal of Bangladesh for crimes during the 1971 Bangladesh War of Independence.[3][4][5] However, limitations placed on his defense testimony were called "disturbing"[6][3][4][7] and the trial called politically motivated.[8]

He was executed by hanging in Old Dhaka Central Jail on 22 November 2015.[3]
