Attorney General Mahbubey Alam on Sunday informed reporters that his office will move an appeal containing three grounds for the death penalty of the Jamaat leader.
The government took the initiative, after the International Crimes Tribunal-2 on February 5 sentenced Mollah to life term imprisonment in three murder charges and acquitted him from the charge of Keraniganj killings.
While pronouncing verdict, the tribunal acquitted the Jamaat leader on the charge of murdering hundreds of people in Keraniganj during the country's Liberation War in 1971.
The ICT verdict caused a stir among the common people and prompted youths to take to the streets that led to the Shahbagh protest.
People from all walks of life joined the Shahbagh demonstration which stepped into the 20th straight day on Sunday.
The attorney general also said the tribunal verdict awarding Mollah to 15 years imprisonment was not legally correct.
The tribunal should have been awarded death sentences to Mollah for each of the charges as the charges were proved beyond any doubt, he added.
In the appeal, the prosecution will seek death sentence for each and every charges brought against Mollah, he added.
