[chottala.com] Torture victim exposes Bangladesh abuses - Reply to Mr. Ashgar

WRT:
 
Mr. Mohammad Asghar
 
That was obvious, nothing fishy.
 
He was made the target because of his involvement in the ground-breaking work
Link:
 
Much of these Torture and Extrajudicial Killings happened during BNP-Jamaat
Jote Sorker.
 
Because of his association with many in the Awami League, it is conceivable
that the modus operandi the custodial authority would require "plausible confession"
involving AL. As I have read before, Tasneem Khalil had some e-mail communications
with Sajeeb Wajed that contained low level political undertone.
 
In authoritarian regimes, torture extracts confessions from political dissenters,
so that they admit to "espionage or conspricy, manipulated by some targated
political party" or a foreign country.
 
Most notably, such a dynamic of forced confessions marked the justice system of the
USSR during the reign of Stalin (thoroughly described in Alexander Solzhenitsny's Gulag
Archipelago. The torture can also be for the sadistic gratification of the revenge prone
torturer because of Khalil's "Anti-RAB and Anti-Military" activities. 
 
The actual names of the top master-mind(s) behind the state-sponsored terrorism, torture
in custody and extrajudicial killings are yet to be exposed. However, it is very clear
from the various reports during last 10 years that the policy of torture and extrajudicial
killings, police cover-up and expediency are made at the highest level of the
government, not by any low level Interrogating officer or a rouge RAB commander.
 
The reign of terror and intimidation is the objective, but the decision making process
is still not fully understood due to lack of complete transperency.
 
The Odhikar web site : http://www.odhikar.org/   may shed some light in the matter.

Tasneem Khalil's interviewer reports him saying:
 
[They dictated some points I should include, such as admitting that I was engaged in anti-state, anti-military, anti-RAB activity, and that I smuggled out sensitive national security information to foreign organizations. That I keep close ties with the opposition Awami League party [I am friends with many in the Awami League, but I was not a member and was not involved in party politics].
 
Comment: Why was he made to admit that he kept close ties with the opposition Awami League? Why BNP or Jamat-e-Islami were excluded from his forced confessional statement?  
 
Can we see something fishy here?
