The Supreme Court in Bangladesh has stayed the execution of an Islamist leader, Abdul Kader Mullah, following a last-minute appeal, his lawyers say.

Lawyers for Abdul Kader Mullah say the hanging was halted pending a hearing at 10:30 on Wednesday (04:30 GMT).

In February he was convicted by a special court of crimes against humanity during the country's 1971 war of independence from Pakistan.

The senior leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami party denies the charges.
