Arrests on suspicion continue in violation of SC directives
Two lakh people held since Jan 11

Shahiduzzaman
At least 2,01,204 people have been arrested so far since the imposition of state of emergency on January 11 on mere suspicion under Section 54 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and Section 86 of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police Ordinance.
   Law enforcers continue arresting people on suspicion abusing those laws in violation of several orders and directives of the Supreme Court, about which most of the lawmen do not have any clear idea, reveals a recent study by the Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust.
   On the other hand, the High Court's directives on amendment to those laws empowering law enforcers to arrest people without any warrant and interrogation of detainees remanded in police custody as well as a draft bill for making the amendments have been gathering dust at the home ministry for more than five years now.
   A total of 4,40,684 people have been arrested on various grounds since January 11, a cabinet committee meeting on law and order was told on December 10. Of the arrested, warrants were issues for arrest of 2,39,480 and the remaining 2,01,204 were arrested on suspicion, meeting sources said.
   The DMP alone arrested 1,934 people under Section 54 of the CrPC and 23,450 more under Section 86 of the DMP Ordinance.
   The High Court on April 17, 2003 issued a 15-point directive on the government and asked police officers, magistrates, jail officials, and sessions' judges to ensure that human rights were not violated.
   The directives were issued in the judgement on a public interest litigation writ petition filed by the BLAST and a number of other rights organisations and activists challenging the abuse of law enforcers' arbitrary power of arrest on suspicion and torture of arrested people in police remand.
   The writ petition was filed in November 1998 following the government's continued inaction in implementing and making public the recommendation made by the judicial inquiry commission of Justice Habibur Rahman Khan, formed to probe the killing of Shamim Reza Rubel, a university student who died in police custody at the Dhaka office of the Detective Branch of police on July 23, 1998. He was arrested under Section 54 of the CrPC.
   In the 15-point directive, the police was ordered to disclose their identity while arresting people, furnish the people with the reasons for their arrest within three hours of taking them to police station, inform the relatives of the arrested immediately, and arrange for examination of the people injured during their arrest by physicians.
   According to the findings of the BLAST study conducted this year, 53.6 per cent of people arrested in 2007 were not given any chance even to ask about the reasons of their arrest and the families of 63.9 per cent of them were not informed about the arrests.
   The court also directed the authorities concerned to build rooms with glass walls in jails for interrogation of the arrested. Until such rooms are made, the arrested will be interrogated at the jail gates in presence of their relatives and lawyers, the court said.
   But no such glass-walled room has been made yet and no relative or lawyer has been allowed to be present during interrogation of any arrested person. Police officials argued relatives and lawyers had not been allowed to be present during the interrogations for the sake of investigations, the study report said.
   There have been only a few incidents of interrogating detainees at jail gates. Of the police officers, interviewed by the study team, 51.2 per cent did not reply to the query about the contents of the court directives and none of the rest could clearly mention any of the directives.
   Since April 2003, the High Court and the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court so far have issued a number of orders on the government not to arrest people on mere suspicion, unless they are found in possession of arms or any dangerous sharp implements or weapons, between sunset and sunrise without any satisfactory reason.
   The orders came in the wake of indiscriminate blanket arrest made immediately before various agitation programmes of opposition parties.
   But all the orders of the Supreme Court have failed to restrain law enforcers from continuing with abusing their arbitrary power of arresting people on mere suspicion, without any warrant.
   In the April 17, 2003 verdict, the High Court also directed the government to amend the sections 54 and 167 of the CrPC.
   According to law ministry sources, they sent a draft bill proposing amendments to the sections along with the High Court directives to the home ministry in June 2003, seeking the latter's opinion, but they are yet to get any response.

Re: [chottala.com] Arrests on suspicion continue in violation of Supreme Court directives

Do you understand plain language? The news item clearly says that the present
government is abusing the laws in violation of several orders and directives
of the Supreme Court. As a matter of fact, the CTG is resorting to
vigilante justice to pepetuate a pepetuate it's peculiar brand of political brinkmanship.
 
Basically, you approve the violation of Supreme Court order and directives by the
government. Are you a supported of police-state? [you may have your own justification].

[chottala.com] Non Resident Bangladeshi Conference 2007 - Politics of No-politics?

Thursday
 
 
Politics of No-politics?

[Cross-posted on E-Bangladesh ]

http://www.e-bangladesh.org/2007/12/14/a-star-studded-nrb-conference/


A truly impressive conference is going to be held in Dhaka on Dec 27-29, 2007. Impressive, because this will showcase, for the first time, the achievement and advice of expatriate Bangladeshis.

The chief guest for the opening ceremony is Dr. Fakhruddin Ahmed, the chief adviser to the caretaker government. The closing ceremony is even more impressive, and we quote:

Chief Guest:

Dr. Fakhruddin Ahmed
Honorable Chief Adviser
Non-Party Caretaker Government
People's Republic of Bangladesh

Special Guests:

Dr. Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury , Honorable Adviser, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Chair of the Session)

General Moeen U Ahmed , Chief of Army Staff , Bangladesh Army


Thanks for sticking the "non-party" adjective in our eyes.

The sessions are absolutely crawling with advisers, secretaries and ex advisers.

  • Dr. C S Karim, Honorable Adviser, Ministry of Agriculture
  • Mr. Mohammad Anwarul Iqbal, BPM (Bar) PPM, Honorable Adviser, Ministry of LGRD and Co-operatives
  • Major General Abdul Matin (Retd), Honorable Adviser, Ministry of Communication
  • Dr. Akbar Ali Khan, Ex Adviser Caretaker Goverment
  • Major General Dr . A S M Motiur Rahman (retd), Honorable Adviser, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare
  • Honorable Adviser, Ministry of Information, Law (one wonders why is Mr. Mainul Hosein's name not mentioned?)
  • Dr. Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury, Honorable Adviser, Ministry of Foreign Affairs
  • Mr. Tapan Chowdhury, Honorable Adviser, Ministry of Energy
  • Geete Ara Safya Chowdhury, Honorable Adviser, Ministry of Industry

  • Mr. A K M Zafarullah Khan, Secretary Ministry of Health & Family Welfare
  • Dr. Abdul Aziz, ndc, Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture
  • Mr. Safar Raj Hossain, Secretary, Ministry of LGRD
  • Mr. A S M Rashidul Hai, Secretary, Ministy of Housing and Public Works
  • Mr. Tauhid Hossain, Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs
  • Dr. Fazlul Karim Khan, Secretary, Ministry of Powers
  • Mr. Md. Mohsin, Secretary, Ministry of Power Energy and Mineral Resources Division
  • Special Guest: Dr. Md. Nurul Amin, Secretary, Ministry of Industry;
  • Mr. Md. Firoz Ahmed, Secretary, Ministry of Commerce;
  • Dr. Mohammad Ayub Miah, Secretary, Ministry of Flood, Disaster Management
  • Mr. Md. Aminul Islam Bhuiyan, Secretary, ERD
  • Mr. Md. Abdul Matin Chowdhury, Secretary, Ministry of Labor & Manpower
  • Dr. Mohammad Mahbubur Rahman, Secretary, Ministry of Communication,
  • Mr. Md. Momtajul Islam, Secretary, Ministry of Education
  • Mr. M Musharaj Hossain Bhuiyan, Secretary, Ministry of Primary Educatio
  • Mr. Abdul Karim, Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs
  • Dr. Mohammad tarque, Secretary, Ministry of Finance

And to round out the civilians, we also see:
  • Lt. General Masud Uddin Chowdhury, NDC, PSC, Principle Staff Officer, Armed Forces Division on a panel on flood management, and Major General Aminul Karim Ph.D., Military Secretary to the Honorable President, on a panel discussing national leadership.


Here is a curious entry for seminar 18 on Day 2.

Domestic Securities Imperatives & Investment Environment in Bangladesh

Presented by Mr. A T M Amin, Ph.D, Counter Terrorism Bureau , Bangladesh

Ah.. another academic who started his own think-tank, right? But after a tip from a friend and one Google-search later, we find that Dr. Amin has another impressive designation: he is a brigadier general in the Bangladesh Army, and he is the director of the counter-terrorism bureau of DGFI. We find it interesting that his rank and employment was obfuscated.

Dr. Kamal Hossain, Fazle Hasan Abed and many other well-known "resident"-Bangladeshis round out some truly outstanding non-resident speakers. To be honest, some papers to be presented at this conference seem good enough for me to want to pay to attend.

Which brings up a question--who is paying for all this? Booking Sheraton for 3 days of conferences costs big money. My experience is a bit dated, but in 1991 I was planning a trade show for my then employer, and the price-tag was about 3 lac taka for 3 days rent for the ballroom. This conference will take over most of the hotel. How much will that cost, and what is the source of that money?

So our digging started with the website scholarsbangladesh.com , the force behind the NRB 2007 conference.

The domain has been registered by a Mr. Mahbub Chowdury

Chowdury, Mahbub E rchowdry@aol.com
660 Bassar Road
Pouzhaeepsie, New York 12603
United States
(718) 323-3766


There is no such place as Pouzhaeepsie, New York. ZIP code 12603 is for Poughkeepsie, NY. Fine--pronouncing that name is not easy so this is not a big deal. The phone number belongs to a Mr. Abbas Uddin in Jamaica, NY. But wait--there is no such road as Bassar road in Poughkeepsie either. There is a Vassar road, as one phone-call to the city-hall confirmed. The current resident at 660 Vassar is a Mr. Richmond.

So Mr. Chowdury used false information in registering his domain. It seems completely unnecessary, but there it is.

NRBs in New York, where Mr. Chowdury used to live (and was known as Shamim Chowdury), are surprised that this virtual unknown is organizing such a big conference in Bangladesh, and some newspapers have also asked this question. For some reason, Amader Shomoy has also taken a swipe at Mr. and Mrs. Chowdury. We absolutely disagree, since past performance is not a reliable indicator of the future. If Mr. and Mrs. Chowdury are doing this on their own initiative, we wish them all the best.

But the thrust of this story is the star-, or rather, government-studded guest-list. How did Mr. Chowdury get not one, two or three, but 8 advisers and so many secretaries to come to his shindig?

Why is Bangladesh's ambassador to the United States, and consul generals at various consulates in the USA, taking an active role in promoting this conference? In the linked letter, we find that the minister of economic affairs at the embassy in DC is prepared to answer our questions on this. We can't just accept this as the officials doing their job--Bangladesh's diplomatic corps doesn't have a very good reputation when it comes to helping Bangladeshis.

Then the next piece of the jigsaw puzzle fit. A friend of ShadaKalo, a prominent academic, was invited to the conference. This gentleman is a vocal critic of the Army and the CTG's treatment of politicians and the lack of democratic processes. As a result, he was reluctant to attend. When the organizers heard about his reluctance, he received personal assurances from an adviser in the CTG that his safety while in Bangladesh will be assured.

Our friend knows the adviser personally so it makes sense that the assurances would come from him, but the surprising part of this is how quickly the response came back. This indicates, at the very least, a direct connection between the organizers and the "Non-Party Caretaker Government."

Buried in the Amader Shomoy story is another nugget: Mr. Chowdury has claimed in a TV talk show that the government is assisting it in fund-raising. In that case, can we say Mr. Chowdury is engaging in government-sactioned chada-baji? Amader Shomoy also went as far as to ask why then Coco's mother Khaleda Zia could not help Coco raise money through chada-baji?

Hmm. New Yorkers are scratching their heads wondering how Mr. Chowdury managed to land so many big fish. While we don't yet have all the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle, we have enough to see an outline. Who is standing behind Mr. Chowdury is not yet clear, but we understand this is not a case of the tail wagging the dog--as a matter of fact, it is the exact opposite.

At the very least, this is government patronage of a private citizen's efforts. Or it could be the launch of a new party platform for a political aspirant like Gen. Moeen.

Watch this space as we fill in the gaps in the next few weeks.

[chottala.com] No more time to waste!!

 

Dear Moderator,

 

Our intellectuals were killed by Al-Badar and Al-Shams of Jamat in 1971 at the dawn of independence with a view to get rid of leadership to the newly born country. Our home land was turned into killing fields by those killers in 1971.

 

Freedom fighters were divided after independence and could not hopefully try to bring those killers into justice. Our nation is deprived to be proud for not doing justice with martyrs by bringing known killers under trial for their heinous acts in 1971. Instead killers were given share to rule the country. And this was mostly started after killing of Mujib.

 

All the marshal government gave footings to these ill forces to get money and power. We are divided by those forces and at the same time they are united to infect our social fiber of the nation.

 

Political leadership should realize that we can be divided for political issues and should not be divided for common cause of liberation struggle. Government should come forward to find those enemies and bring them under trial. And those ill forces should not be allowed to get access to politics. Their ill activities in 1971 should be recorded and written in our school books so that new generation can identify those demons and their present accomplices. And we should not forget that they are the common enemies of the nation.

 

I believe our founding leaders did mistakes with regard to those issues and we should be united to find them and bring them to trial for justice and government should take initiative to make us a proud nation.

 

Regards,

 

Ashok Kumar Bose

Re: [chottala.com] Arrests on suspicion continue in violation of Supreme Court directives

All arrested persons should face in the court to get lawful court verdict to prove whether they are guilty or not guilty without doing bargain for unconditional releasing them.
It is the way to establish justice of law justice of lawful administration to build peaceful lawful society in the country.

   The writ petition was filed in November 1998 following the government's continued inaction in implementing and making public the recommendation made by the judicial inquiry commission of Justice Habibur Rahman Khan, formed to probe the killing of Shamim Reza Rubel, a university student who died in police custody at the Dhaka office of the Detective Branch of police on July 23, 1998. He was arrested under Section 54 of the CrPC.
   In the 15-point directive, the police was ordered to disclose their identity while arresting people, furnish the people with the reasons for their arrest within three hours of taking them to police station, inform the relatives of the arrested immediately, and arrange for examination of the people injured during their arrest by physicians.
   According to the findings of the BLAST study conducted this year, 53.6 per cent of people arrested in 2007 were not given any chance even to ask about the reasons of their arrest and the families of 63.9 per cent of them were not informed about the arrests.
   The court also directed the authorities concerned to build rooms with glass walls in jails for interrogation of the arrested. Until such rooms are made, the arrested will be interrogated at the jail gates in presence of their relatives and lawyers, the court said.
   But no such glass-walled room has been made yet and no relative or lawyer has been allowed to be present during interrogation of any arrested person. Police officials argued relatives and lawyers had not been allowed to be present during the interrogations for the sake of investigations, the study report said.
   There have been only a few incidents of interrogating detainees at jail gates. Of the police officers, interviewed by the study team, 51.2 per cent did not reply to the query about the contents of the court directives and none of the rest could clearly mention any of the directives.
   Since April 2003, the High Court and the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court so far have issued a number of orders on the government not to arrest people on mere suspicion, unless they are found in possession of arms or any dangerous sharp implements or weapons, between sunset and sunrise without any satisfactory reason.
   The orders came in the wake of indiscriminate blanket arrest made immediately before various agitation programmes of opposition parties.
   But all the orders of the Supreme Court have failed to restrain law enforcers from continuing with abusing their arbitrary power of arresting people on mere suspicion, without any warrant.
   In the April 17, 2003 verdict, the High Court also directed the government to amend the sections 54 and 167 of the CrPC.
   According to law ministry sources, they sent a draft bill proposing amendments to the sections along with the High Court directives to the home ministry in June 2003, seeking the latter's opinion, but they are yet to get any response.

The 71-er Golpo team is calling on all conscious members of our community to sign this petition and denounce yellow journalism as demonstrated in the Khabor website.

In the main Khabor article on December 2, 2007, the Editor, Shibbir Ahmed has abused his position as a journalist to launch a smear campaign to undermine 71-er Golpo. The article, which contained comments by Harun Chowdhury, made unsubstantiated and baseless claims that the 71-er Golpo organizers are affiliated with anti-liberation forces (rajakars). The organizers challenged these individuals to corroborate their claims or retract the article and issue an apology in Khabor (Read statement issued by 71-er Golpo at http://71ergolpo.com/statement.html). Their failure to follow-up has compelled us to broadcast our grievance to the broader community.

This is NOT the first time Khabor has demonstrated poor and substandard journalism standards. We urge members of our community to speak out against unethical, malicious and sensationalistic journalism and boycott Shibbir Ahmed from reporting on future events.

[chottala.com] Military rulers rehabilitated war criminals: Razzak

Military rulers rehabilitated war criminals: Razzak

 
 

Fri, Dec 14th, 2007 5:10 pm BdST

 
Dhaka, Dec 14 (bdnews24.com) – The Awami League's policymaking presidium member Abdur Razzak Friday said recurrent governments run or backed by the military facilitated the rehabilitation of war criminals in Bangladesh.

"It's a sad reality that the Al Badr, Al Shams and their accomplices are doing politics in this country in a bid to make it another Pakistan," he said after laying floral wreaths at the Martyred Intellectuals' Memorial at Mirpur.

Razzak, an organiser of the War of Independence, demanded that the state tried the war criminals.

"After killing Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Ziaur Rahman returned the war criminals their right to engage in politics, who dare say it in public today that the 1971 war was a civil war, as many Pakistanis would say in those days."

Paying homage to the martyred intellectuals, the AL presidium member said," The friends of the Pakistani occupation forces massacred the Bangalee intellectuals on the eve of the Victory Day when they realised that their end was imminent."

"People of Bangladesh shed blood to earn freedom. The nation is determined to uphold its freedom at any cost. The future citizens must be aware of everything that's happening around us."

AL presidium members Suranjit Sengupta, Abdul Mannan and Subid Ali Bhuiyan were also present at the time.
