Comments on 4 RU Teachers released .

 Dear Professor Ajoy Roy 

You have learnt that:
 
"a few DGFI top guys met with the wives of the imprisoned teachers in the office of the RU VC yesterday at 3 p.m. The close door
meeting continued for over two hours. It is learnt that teachers' wives appealed to the them for honorable and unconditional release of their
husbands."
 
How come a few DGFI top guys are meeting with the wives of the imprisoned teachers at this stage? I don't understand. The DGFI was
the accuser, the local police was the procecuter, and the case went through a "judicial" process. Is DGFI still in control of the matter ?
Can you elaborate?
 
As far as I know, even in any civil or military judicial process the accuser contacting the "convicts" or their relatives is not allowed? Can
you tell us what is going on? No matter how much rhetoric we hear  about "independent" judiciary, there is no shortage of subservient and
biased judges in out country. Do you think Fair Trial of any accused is possible in our country? 
 
Hats Off to Malay Kumar Bhowmik, Dulal Chandra Biswas, Selim Reza Newton, and Abdullah Al Mamun holding their heads high by not
bowing to the pressure.  I believe that the President has shown amnesty to 4 convicted teachers unconditionally, not because of his (or
the stablishment's) g enerosity, but because of the fact that the case was clearly ill-motivated would not hold in higher court(s). The DGFI
and the establishment should express regret and apologise for harassment.
 
Best Regards,
 
Syed Aslam

Subject: Late night news: 4 RU Teachers released

Four Rajshahi University Teachers Released
By Ajoy Roy

For a long time I have not been receiving good news. Today at 5-30 p.m. I
received one of the finest news. One of my friends from Rajshahi rang me
that 4 imprisoned teachers have been released just an hour before. The
President has shown amnesty to 4 convicted teachers unconditionally.
Following this announcement captive teachers namely- Malay Kumar Bhowmik,
Dulal Chandra Biswas, Selim Reza Newton, and Abdullah Al Mamun. After the
release their family members and colleagues received the teachers. Released
teachers claimed that neither they nor their family members sought for
forgiveness to anyone including the army guided Care Taker Government Chief or to the army chief.

It may be recalled that following the unfortunate event in DU campus
involving the students and army, the RU teachers extended their moral
support to the students and brought out a silent procession on August 21. On
the following day there were some violence in side the campus. The
administration thought that RU teachers were involved in it. Accordingly two
senior teachers, Professor Sayedur Rahman Khan and Dr. Abdus Sobhan were
arrested on 24th August and warrant against 4 teachers was issued. On 5th
September other 4 teachers surrendered to the police. They were charged with
offence of violating emergency laws and violence inside the campus. On 5th
December the court punished 4 teachers giving 2 years rigorous imprisonment.
This created resentment among the public in general and to the intellectual
community in particular.

It is learnt that a few DGFI top guys met with the wives of the imprisoned
teachers in the office of the RU VC yesterday at 3 p.m. The close door
meeting continued for over two hours. It is learnt that teachers' wives
appealed to the them for honorable and unconditional release of their
husbands.

I must congratulate our President that he used his office in a noble cause by releasing the convicted teachers. At the same time I will expect that the government or the RU authority will refrain from taking any step against these teachers regarding their continuity of service in the university. It may also be remembered that an appeal against the verdict of the lower court was filed yesterday.

We hope the government will drop all charges against DU teachers andstudents to restore a congenial academic environment in all campuses.
