PM Sheikh Hasina and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon

 

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has highly acclaimed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for her commendable role and strong leadership for strengthening democracy, achieving social uplift and the UN set MDG goal-4. “You are the champion of democracy. Your prudent leadership and commitment to people’s welfare would help achieve the UN set all Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Bangladesh soon,” he said. The UN Secretary General said this as the Bangladesh premier held a meeting with him at the UN building here yesterday afternoon (local time). Earlier, the Prime Minister passed a hectic day as she was interviewed by the News Week, BBC and Voice of America (VOA). Ban Ki-moon also appreciated Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s strong leadership in the last COP-15 in Copenhagen for the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Bangladesh’s preparedness in tackling adverse impact of global climate change. Congratulating Sheikh Hasina for securing the MDG award by the UN in recognition of achieving the MDG goal-4, the UN Secretary General expressed the hope that Bangladesh would be able to achieve the rest of the goals in future under her prudent leadership. Mr. Ban Ki-moon also lauded the role of Bangladeshi peacekeepers in the UN peace-keeping missions and said that the UN is closely monitoring the development of Bangladesh and he assured of the UN support for its development endeavors. During the meeting, Sheikh Hasina lauded the UN Secretary General for his sincere and relentless efforts in making the UN a more dynamic and functional institutions saying, “You undertook a number of reform initiatives that reflected your openness to new and innovative ideas”. The Prime Minister reiterated her call to the UN Secretary General to appoint Bangladeshi peacekeepers to the policy making and administrative bodies of the Department of Peace Keeping Operations (DPKO) as a largest troops contributing country. Regarding achieving the MDG award in recognition of reducing child mortality rate in Bangladesh, she informed the UN Secretary General that Bangladesh is at the threshold of achieving at least three MDGs soon.

Bangladeshi Po­lit­i­cal Fig­ures Charged with War Crimes

Bangladeshi Po­lit­i­cal Fig­ures Charged with War Crimes

Two se­nior lead­ers of Bangladesh’s largest Is­lam­ic Party are in cus­tody today. The pair was ar­rest­ed on war crimes charges linked to Bangladesh’s war for in­de­pen­dence in 1971. On Wednes­day, a court in Dhaka, Bangladesh placed two se­nior po­lit­i­cal fig­ures from the coun­try’s largest Is­lam­ic po­lit­i­cal party in cus­tody. The two as­sis­tant sec­re­tary gen­er­als, Muham­mad Ka­maruz­za­man and Abdul Quad­er Molla, were ar­rest­ed on Tues­day at the gate of the Supreme Court in Dhaka for their al­leged role in a 1971 mas­sacre dur­ing Bangladesh’s war for in­de­pen­dence from Pak­istan. Two more se­nior Ja­maat-e-Is­la­mi lead­ers were named, along with three oth­ers who are not from Bangladesh. For­mer lib­er­a­tion fight­er Amir Hos­sain Mol­lah brought charges against the men over two years ago. Mol­lah says the ac­cused killed 345 peo­ple, in­clud­ing 21 of his rel­a­tives. The Ja­maat-e-Is­la­mi party has de­nied charges that it col­lab­o­rat­ed with the Pak­istani army dur­ing the 1971 war. Ja­maat has in turn ac­cused the gov­ern­ment of Prime Min­is­ter Sheikh Hasi­na of con­coct­ing war crimes charges to try to un­der­mine it. On Mon­day, Bangladesh im­posed a trav­el ban on 40 peo­ple, most­ly Ja­maat lead­ers, for fear they may try to flee the coun­try ahead of any war crimes tri­als. Bangladesh, for­mer­ly East Pak­istan, won in­de­pen­dence with India’s help in De­cem­ber 1971 fol­low­ing a nine-month war against Pak­istan. An es­ti­mat­ed 3 mil­lion peo­ple were killed and thou­sands of women raped.

1:38 Bangladeshi Political Figures Charged with War CrimesTwo senior leaders of Bangladesh’s largest Islamic Party are in custody today. The pair was arrested on war crimes charges linked to Bangladesh’s war for independence in 1971. On Wednesday, a court in Dhaka, Bangladesh placed two senior political figures from the country’s largest Islamic political party in custody. The two assistant secretary generals, Muhammad Kamaruzzaman and Abdul Quader Molla, were arrested on Tuesday at the gate of the Supreme Court in Dhaka for their alleged role in a 1971 massacre during Bangladesh’s war for independence from Pakistan. Two more senior Jamaat-e-Islami leaders were named, along with three others who are not from Bangladesh. Former liberation fighter Amir Hossain Mollah brought charges against the men over two years ago. Mollah says the accused killed 345 people, including 21 of his relatives. The Jamaat-e-Islami party has denied charges that it collaborated with the Pakistani army during the 1971 war. Jamaat has in turn accused the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of concocting war crimes charges to try to undermine it. On Monday, Bangladesh imposed a travel ban on 40 people, mostly Jamaat leaders, for fear they may try to flee the country ahead of any war crimes trials. Bangladesh, formerly East Pakistan, won independence with India’s help in December 1971 following a nine-month war against Pakistan. An estimated 3 million people were killed and thousands of women raped.Drag to Re-order or to Trash

It is necessary that this painful chapter of the events in East Pakistan be looked at in its proper perspective. Let it not be forgotten that the initiative in resorting to violence and cruelty was taken by the militants of the Awami League, during the month of March, 1971, following General Yahya Khan’s announcement of the 1st of March regarding the postponement of the session of the National Assembly scheduled for the 3rd of March 1971. It will be recalled that from the 1st of March to the 3rd of March 1971, the Awami League had taken complete control of East Pakistan, paralysing the authority of the federal government. There is reliable evidence to show that during this period the miscreants indulged in large scale massacres and rape against pro-Pakistan elements, in the towns of Dacca, Narayanganj, Chittagong, Chandraghona, Rangamati, Khulna, Dinajpur, Ghafargaoa, Kushtia, Ishurdi, Noakhali, Sylhet, Maulvi Bazaar, Rangpur, Saidpur, Jessore, Barisal, Mymensingh, Rajshahi, Pabna, Sirajgonj, Comilla, Brahman Baria, Bogra, Naugaon, Santahar, and several other smaller places. 3.

      Part:2: War criminal and Collaborator: A K M Yousuf (Acting Ameer of Jamaat)

      MAULANA A K M YOUSUF, village-Rajoir, Thana-Saran Khola, District-Bagerhat. Presently he is the acting Ameer of the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh. He was one of the leading anti-liberation organizers during the 1971 war. As part of his role in the anti-liberation activities he became a member of Malek cabinet during the war.  After the liberation war AKM Yusuf was arrested on charge of collaborating with Pakistan army and sentenced with many other members of Malek cabinet.
       
      He first formed ‘Razakar Bahini’ comprising 96 members of Jamaat-e-Islami in Khulna district. He became the leader of the Jamaat well before the freedom War started. He started his anti-Bangladesh role and cooperating the Pakistani forces as soon as the war began on March 25. His responsibilities were to issue statement, organize the anti-liberation forces and lead attacks, killing, looting and arson by his groups. He also helped the members of the Pakistani forces to do the same.

      His statements published in the newspapers where he opposed the liberation war and urged the collaborators to resist the pro-liberation forces. On October 10, 1971, this anti-liberation leader praised activities of the Razakars in a public rally and said, “we will have to make the people understand that the so-called Bangladesh concept is created by Indian authorities is valueless. Naxalaits, separatists and criminals are trying to create anarchy in this part of the country. They should be ousted by root.” (Genocide ’71, Muktijuddha Chetana Bikish Kendra, Dhaka, February 1987).

      On October 26, at a gathering in Sylhet, he said, “a section of ignorant youths inspired by Indian propaganda has been unleashing separatist activities on our land. You spread over every nook and corner of the country to resist this movement and uproot the concept of so-called Bengali nationalism”. He warned the allied forces saying, “Had there been any war imposed on them, then heroes of Razakar and soldiers would face with all courage.” On November 12, 1971, he praised the Razakar activities while visiting Razakar camps in Shatkhira. He commented, “the Razakars have been doing their best to resist the spies and intruders of India”. He also assured the Razakars that he would provide them with government jobs.

      On November 28, while he was discussing with newsmen in Karachi, Yousuf said that the Razakar have been working hand in hand with the soldiers. He demanded supply of modern arms to the hands of razakars to eliminate freedom fighters. “now the number of Razakar and Al-shams stood to some 1 lakh. Apart from them, there were Mujahid bahini also. They all are in guarding the borders along with the soldiers. The razakars have been operating successfully resulting in reduce of criminal activities”. (Ibid)

      Guljan Bibi, a mother of martyr Shahid Seikh, informed that one Razakar Khaleq Member asked her son to join in the Razakar Bahini during the monsoon of freedom War. As Shahid rejected his proposal, the member called him out a month after. On the same day she learnt that her son was handed to the Pakistani forces. Later she rushed to the founder of the Razakar force, Maolana A K M Yousuf and requested him to free his son. At that time Khaleq Member was also with Yousuf who turned down her request. Guljan Bibi did not get her son back, later she came to learn that Pakistanis killed her son. Guljan demanded trial of her son’s killing.

      Yousuf along with his associates Khaleque and Adam Ali had killed number of males and females during the war. They raped many women. These information were disclosed by the citizens of Khulna, but still after 24 years of independence they are tight lipped for the sake of their own security. One of them told the commission that Yousuf forced many people from his own area Morelganj to join in the Razakar force. He forced them to work against the liberation war.

       
      Yousuf’s headquarters was the then ‘Ghost House’ which is now being used as district Anasr camp. This camp was the prime torture centre. Apart from this they used to torture the freedom-loving people at Khulna Shipyard, Bhashani Biddalaya and many other camps. They also killed people at such places wherever they felt comfortable. They handed over the innocent Bengalis to Pakistani Army stationed at the prime camp Circuit House, and other makeshift camps at Helipad, Naval base, hotel Shahin, Asiana Hotel etc. The Razakar and other fundamentalist forces maintained regular connection with the camps. They used to kill the people at Gallamari, forest Ghat, Station road and some other places.

      Australia ends Iraq combat operations

      Australia ends Iraq combat operations
      Sunday, June 01, 2008 9:17:04 PM
      By TANALEE SMITH

      Australia, a staunch U.S. ally and one of the first countries to commit troops to the war in Iraq five years ago, ended combat operations there Sunday.
      Soldiers lowered the Australian flag that had flown over Camp Terendak in the southern Iraqi city of Talil. The combat troops were expected to return to Australia over the next few weeks, with the first of them arriving home Sunday.
      The move fulfills a campaign promise by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who was swept into office in November largely on the promise that he would bring home the country’s 550 combat troops by the middle of 2008. Rudd has said the Iraq deployment made Australia more of a target for terrorism.
      Rudd’s predecessor, former Prime Minister John Howard, said he was “baffled” by the decision to withdraw the troops.
      “If I had been returned at the last election we would not have been bringing (troops) home, we would have been looking at transitioning them from their soon-to-be terminated role to a training role,” Howard told the Sydney Morning Herald in an interview published Monday.
      Howard, who led the country for 11 years and celebrated his friendship with President Bush, told the newspaper that the decision to send Australian troops to Iraq in 2003 was “very, very, very hard.” But he stood by his choice, which he said helped further deepen Australia’s alliance with the United States.
      Australian troops helped train 33,000 Iraqi army soldiers following the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. They helped train the Iraqis in logistics management, combat service support and counterinsurgency operations.
      Defense Minister Joel Fitzgibbon declared the mission a success, saying it had allowed Iraq’s own security forces to successfully take control.
      “Our soldiers have worked tirelessly to ensure that local people in southern Iraq have the best possible chance to move on from their suffering under Saddam’s regime and, as a government we are extremely proud of their service,” Fitzgibbon said in a statement Sunday.
      “The Australian contribution to the Iraqi army’s Counter Insurgency Academy is one of the lasting legacies of our commitment,” he said.
      About 300 troops will remain inside Iraq for logistical and air surveillance duties, as well as guarding Australian diplomats and others in Baghdad.
      A further 500 soldiers will remain in the region, including 200 sailors aboard the frigate HMAS Stuart in the Persian Gulf. Australia also will leave behind two maritime surveillance aircraft.

      Bangladesh: Justice is only for the little people

      Bangladesh: Justice is only for the little people

      GM Solaiman

      May 27, 2008

      I read news and opinion piece in Bangladesh newspapers related to corruption and people’s perspective toward it. I read with a great amusement how some people stay cool and not even bother by the mountain of corruption. If media reflect any percentage of views in real ground, it is almost shocking how they show tolerance toward corruption. Some people took it as part of the life very well. Now that’s a compliment. One probably will go crazy if he would not or can not take this as business as usual. Isn’t Bangladesh a part of this civilized world? Is there any respect for justice in any part of the society in Bangladesh? Actually, there is. It is for the little people who must obey the law. It is the little people to whom justice is served. It is the little people who, with all the hardship in life, keep Bangladesh a part of the civilized world. Well, at least as of now.

      Let me bring your attention to a recent court verdict. Md Shahid Mia, a technician from Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company, was sentenced to three years in jail for taking Tk 5,000 in bribe. Few local newspapers reported this in May 22, 2008.

      “A special Dhaka court on Wednesday sentenced an official of Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company to three years in jail for taking Tk 5,000 in bribe.”

      “Convicted Md Shahid Mia will have to serve one more year in jail in failure to pay a fine of Tk 1 lakh. Judge Md Sirajul Haque also issued an order to confiscate the cell phone of Shahid.”

      “Ebadullah al Mamun, managing director of Quality Re-rolling Mills, filed the case against him with Shyampur police station on May 6 last year. According to case details, Shahid demanded Tk 5,000 for a utility connection. The Rapid Action Battalion arrested him.”

      Shahid Mia’s wife was present in the court room. Shahid Mia hugged his wife to give her some comfort after the verdict. His lawyer Rehana Alam told him that this is the list possible punishment for the crime. It can not be reduced. This is for just taking 5000 taka (73 dollars) bribe. No other crime, corruption or illegal property involved.

      There is nothing surprising here. He did the crime, so he got the punishment. It could have been any other civilized country. The criminals would get similar punishment.

      Now I want you to take a moment and rethink this. Just 73 dollars of corrupt money can put you 3 years in prison. Even in Bangladesh, it can. Does people in Bangladesh realized it? I am sure some people do realize it. Shahid Mia and his family realized. Many more people like Shahid Mia realize it every day.

      What about big fishes, do they realize? I am talking about those people who have taken millions of dollars in bribe along with other crime, corruption and illegal property. How many thousands years of imprisonment would they get in punishment? Well, they never did. Punishment is reserved only for the little people in Bangladesh. Those who acquired millions of dollars in corruption never faced any punishment. Shouldn’t they get the punishment?

      Is it too unfair to say that this punishment, as justified as it is, would be an insult to the justice system if the top criminals of the nation wonder free?

      I read some opinion articles in few daily newspapers with lot of amusement. I don’t really understand this. How could an educated person argue in favor of those corrupt criminals? How could they do it in a civilized society? Don’t they have any shame at all? Apparently they don’t have any shame. What could be the reason?

      Could it be that these so called intellectuals are not belongs to this civilized world? Could it be that they some how lost the sense of what is wrong and what is right? Or, is it because that these so called intellectuals are beneficiary of the corrupt officials and politicians? Is it because that these so called intellectuals are the creation of the top corrupt circle of Bangladesh? Isn’t it true that those who support the evils are indeed part of the same evil?

      Is it possible that the people of Bangladesh can come out of the box of wrong doers and their evil intellectual propaganda machine? I certainly hope so.

      War criminal and Collaborator: Matiur Rahman Nizam

      MATIUR RAHMAN NIZAMI of Pabna district in the north-west of Bangladesh, is currently the secretary general of the Jamaat-e-Islami.

      Nizami carried out a wide range of activities against the war of independence in 1971. At the time he was president of Jamaat’s youth front, the Islami Chattra Sangha (ICS, or Islamic Student’s Organisation). Under his direct supervision, and leadership, the Al-Badr force was set-up to eliminate freedom fighters. Nizami was the commander-in-chief of the Al-Badrs.

      The principal aim of the Al-Badr, as a para-military force auxiliary to the Pakistan army, was to turn the Bangalee people into a populace, which would believe in Pakistan and the Islamic philosophy of life from a cultural and political viewpoint.

      Leaders of the Al-Badr drew-up the blue-print for the murder of hundreds of Bangalee intellectuals across the country. On their orders, hundreds of such prominent men and women of letter and crafts were murdered throughout Bangladesh including Dhaka. Horrifying tales of these killings by the Al-Badr under Nizami’ s command have been published in many newspapers and journals at home and abroad.

      Nizami exhorted his followers through speeches as well as articles in newspapers. In one such article in the party mouth-piece daily Sangram, he wrote, “The day is not far away when the young men of Al-Badr, side by side with the armed forces, will defeat the Hindu force (enemies) and raise the victorious banner of Islam all over the world, after the destroying the existence of India” (source: Daily Sangram,Nov. 14, 1971).

      On April 12, 1971, Nizami joined Azam and other leading collaborators such as Khan A Sabur etc., to lead a procession in Dhaka to declare support for Pakistan. The procession, under the banner of the “Peace Committee”, ended with a special prayer for the survival of Pakistan (Daily Sangram, April 13, 1971).

      In Jessore south-west of Dhaka, Nizami addressed para-military troops at the district headquarters of the Razakar force, and said, “In this hour of national crisis, it is the duty of every Razakar to carry out his national duty to eliminate those who are engaged in war against Pakistan and Islam” (Daily Sangram, Sept 15, 1971).

      People in Nizami’s home district of Pabna have brought allegations of direct and indirect involvement in killings, rape, arson, looting etc.
      One such person is Aminul Islam Dablu of Brishlika village under the Bera police station (in Bangladesh, all administrative units below the level of districts are organised under a police station, hence all sub-districts are called Thana, or PS). Dablu told the Commission that his father M Sohrab Ali was killed on the orders of Nizami. Dablu further said other people of the area, including Profulla Pramanik, Bhadu Pramanik, Manu Pramanik and Shashthi Pramanik were killed on Nizami’ s orders. He said there were several eyewitnesses to those killings.

      Abdul Quddus, a freedom fighter from Madhabpur village in Pabna, once spent two weeks in an Al-Badr camp after being arrested. He witnessed plans being discussed and drawn-up by the Al-Badr men under supervision of Nizami, to carry out killings, arson, rape etc.
      On Nov 26, a Razakar commander named Sattar guided Pakistani troops to the Dhulaupara village where 30 freedom fighters were subsequently killed. According to Quddus, Sattar carried out his activities under Nizami’s orders.

      Quddus told the Commission he was able to attend a secret gathering of Al-Badr, which was also attended by Nizami who gave instructions about elimination of freedom fighters. In that meeting, houses of Awami League supporters and possible bases and safe-houses being used by freedom fighters were identified. Quddus said, Nizami gave orders to finish off Awami League supporters and destroy bases of the freedom fighters.

      The day after the meeting, Al-Badr forces in cooperation with Razakars, surrounded the village of Brishlika and burnt it to the ground. Quddus said Nizami himself bayoneted to death one Bateswar Shaha in Madhabpur village, situated under Sathia PS, which is now part of the parliamentary constituency where Nizami won a seat in 1991 with a slender majority.

      Similar allegations against Nizami was brought by M Shahjahan Ali of Madhabpur village. Ali was captured by Razakars along with several other freedom fighters. The Razakars then proceeded to torture the prisoners with bayonets, finally using long knives to slit their throats. Twelve freedom fighters were slaughtered in that manner, but Ali miraculously survived, although he has a deep scar along his throat and is permanently paralysed.

      Ali said one prisoner was burnt alive after being doused with petrol. He said all these killings of prisoners were carried out on Nizami’s order.

      A write-up of Farida Majid on Golam Azam

             Prof. Golam Azam, former Aamir of Jamaat, is certainly an educated person, and arguably one of most intelligent persons in the politics of Bangladesh. I hear he has a son in the nation’s army. Likewise many Jamaati leaders have placed their children in the cadet colleges with a view to packing the Military of future Bangladesh with Jamaat-minded Fascists.

                  Do we want a fascist country? Should we not be pondering that question and the consequences if, by all the signs and symptoms, it looks like we are on a headlong journey towards that goal?

      AL decides to skip dialogue without Hasina

      Tue, May 27th, 2008 9:35 pm BdST
      Dhaka, May 27 (bdnews24.com) – The Awami League on Tuesday decided not to join government dialogue without party chief Sheikh Hasina, a move likely to put a question mark on ongoing political talks.The decision on boycott came from a meeting of the Awami League Central Working Committee at the party’s Dhanmondi office.The ALCWC meeting has been adjourned until Wednesday, acting AL president Zillur Rahman told reporters.A major announcement about a movement for the release of the former prime minister, now behind bars on charges of corruption, is expected to come from Wednesday’s meeting.

      The ALCWC meeting also endorsed most recommendations made by district AL leaders at the party’s crucial extended meeting on Monday.

      “The meeting has approved the speeches of the district leaders, showing honour to them. The district leaders said there would be no dialogue and no election without Sheikh Hasina,” Zillur said.

      “We have also decided that we will not go to dialogue without Sheikh Hasina. If we go to dialogue we will do so under her leadership. And it is Sheikh Hasina who will name those who will participate in it,” he said.

      The ALCWC meeting will resume at 11am Wednesday.
