A Dhaka court on Thursday remanded four sitting and former leaders of Islami Chhatra Shibir in three cases on charge of keeping explosives, arms and ammunition in their possessions and conducting anti-state activities

Third Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Ali Hossain passed the order after Mohammadpur police produce them with a 30-day remand prayer in the cases.

The defendants are Mohammadpur unit Shibir president Abdullah Jayed Bin Sabid, Mirpur Bangla College unit president Sultan Mahmud alias Ripon, former president of Shibir Motijheel unit Alamgir Hossain alias Raju and Mohammadpur Ward-42 unit president Mohammad Imran alias Masum.

They were arrested during a drive launched on Tuesday night by the Rapid Action Battalion.

Rab claims Shibir link with outlaws

The Rapid Action Battalion yesterday claimed to have found link between Islami Chhatra Shibir and banned Islamist outfits.

The elite force claimed that Shibir operatives are collecting arms and explosives from the outlawed organisations to carry out subversive activities in the country.

Rab yesterday arrested four current and former Shibir leaders from Dhaka and Gazipur and recovered a homemade gun, five shotgun bullets, six locally made bombs, five packets of Sulphur and Potassium, Tk 1.10 lakh, nine mobile phone sets and some books on Shibir moral.

The arrestees are Mohammadpur unit Shibir president Abdullah Jayed Bin Sabid, Mirpur Bangla College unit president Sultan Mahmud alias Ripon, former president of Shibir Motijheel unit Alamgir Hossain alias Raju and Mohammadpur Ward-42 unit president Mohammad Imran alias Masum.

"Their [the arrestees] task was to collect arms and ammunition from different sources and to carry out violence in processions and rallies in Dhaka and other places," said Commander Mohammad Sohail, director of Rab Legal and Media Wing, at a briefing at Rab headquarters in Uttara.

The commander said Golam Mortuza, social welfare and cultural secretary of Shibir, guides and arranges them funds.

Alamgir contacted one of the banned groups in Pabna as Mortuza gave him Tk 30,000 for purchasing arms, said the commander.

Alamgir Hossain, who claimed himself as a real estate businessman, said he met one outlaw Jakir, also a rickshaw puller, to buy ammunition as per Mortuza's instructions.

Claiming that he is no longer with Shibir or Jamaat, Alamgir said he was just carrying out Mortuza's instructions.

On their plan, Alamgir said, "We have no plan and I do not know about Mortuza's intentions either." He added that he does not have any expertise on making bombs.

Rab officials suspect that the arrestees might have a connection with Hizb ut-Tahrir as a book of the banned outfit has been recovered from their possession during the raid. The Shibir men were arrested during a Rab drive launched on Tuesday night.

Sohail said they have information that some quarters are trying to carry out subversive activities in the country after the arrests of the top Jamaat leaders.

He claimed that Shibir has divided Dhaka into four zones for the operation.

Acting on a tip off, Rab arrested Sabid from Ratanpur village under Kaliakoir Police Station in Gazipur Tuesday around 8:00pm.

Sabid told Rab that some handmade bombs and ammunition were hidden under the ground behind Square Hospital in the capital as per Mortuza's direction.

Based on the information Rab raided the place but found nothing.

Commander Sohail said Mortuza also gave some homemade explosives to Ripon to keep those in his house and later asked him to throw them into a pond.

On the other hand, Ripon told the media that Mehedi Hasan Tarek, secretary of the city Chhatra Andolan, asked him to keep a packet of handmade bombs and Ripon hid those on his roof. He also threw the explosives into a pond following Mortuza's direction.

Ripon also said Shibir members hold secret meetings at a few messes in Kalyanpur.

Commander Sohail said on Sabid's information, they conducted raids at different student messes in Kalyanpur and Mohammadpur areas and arrested Imran. The major portion of yesterday's recovery was made from there.

Ripon was arrested at Mirpur-1 while Raju at Paltan area Tuesday night, added Sohail.

Rab officials said they would investigate the funding for the purchase of arms and ammunition.

Meanwhile, in a press release, Islami Chhatra Shibir yesterday alleged that Rab personnel planted the firearms and ammunition at the residences of its activists and made the arrests when the activists were in sleep.

In a joint statement, Shibir president Muhammad Rezaul Karim and its Secretary General Mohammad Fakhruddin Manik termed the arrests fabricated, ill motivated, unacceptable and ridiculous. They said it is a part of the conspiracy to create an anti-Shibir sentiment among students.

Bangladesh: Bringing a Forgotten Genocide to Justice

Police arrest Maulana Motiur Rahman Nizami, center, chief of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, in Dhaka on June 29, 2010

Lutfor Rahman / Reuters

Two years ago, TIME met Ali Ahsan Mojaheed at the headquarters of his far-right Islamist party, nestled amid a warren of religious bookshops and seminaries in Dhaka. He welcomed this reporter by peeling a clutch of ripe lychees. "Our fruit is the sweetest," said the secretary general of Bangladesh's Jamaat-e-Islami, proffering a sticky hand. But the conversation soon soured. Asked about the traumatic legacy of Bangladesh's 1971 independence — when the territory then known as East Pakistan split from West Pakistan in an orgy of bloodshed — Mojaheed dismissed the need for a proper reckoning with the past. "This is a dead issue," he almost growled. "It cannot be raised."

But this month it finally has. Far from the protective, lackey-patrolled confines of his offices, Mojaheed and three other prominent Jamaat leaders (including the party's leader Maulana Motiur Rahman Nizami) are under arrest, appearing for the first time in a war-crimes court to face charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and against peace — the last of which has not been invoked since the trials at Nuremberg. They rank among the topmost figures implicated in the systematic murder of as many as 3 million people in 1971 as the Pakistani army and ethnic Bengali collaborators attempted to quash a Bengali-nationalist rebellion. Their prosecution presents a watershed moment for this beleaguered nation of 160 million. A July 30 op-ed in the Daily Star, a leading Dhaka-based newspaper, says, "the trials will allow us to close the door, once and for all ... so that we are not forever fighting the battles of the past." (See the museum that preserved the memory of Bangladesh's atrocities.)

That past — Bangladesh's tangled history of violence and discord — goes a long way to explain how one of the 20th century's worst massacres is now largely forgotten in the rest of the world. Bangladesh's origins lie in two bloody partitions: first, in 1947, when British India was carved into two separate independent states, Muslim-majority Pakistan emerged more as a conceit of ideology than one of geography — its two wings separated by a thousand miles of India in between. The artificial union didn't last a quarter-century and Bengali separatism led eventually to a brutal crackdown by the West Pakistani–dominated army, aided by Islamists like Mojaheed and his colleagues, who were loyal to the greater Pakistani cause and who allegedly led or helped organize death squads that targeted Hindus, students and other dissidents. The intervention of Indian troops turned the tide and Bangladesh, as East Pakistan renamed itself, won its freedom in December 1971, its cities hollowed out, the economy in tatters and its population ravaged. (From TIME's Archives: India and Pakistan poised for war in 1971 over Bangladeshi independence.)

But the U.S.'s Cold War alliance with Pakistan's military dictatorship and the opposition of influential Muslim states like Saudi Arabia to Pakistan's partitioning meant there was little international pressure for a proper inquiry into the atrocities of the war. Within Bangladesh, coups, assassinations and vendettas came to define the political landscape. Successive governments became peopled by those with pro-Pakistani or Islamist backgrounds and connections. Mojaheed's Jamaat even found itself in power for a spell within a coalition government. "The primary issue for politicians was to survive," says Ali Riaz, a Bangladesh scholar and professor of political science at Illinois State University. "Thinking about the issue of murders and genocide became secondary." (From TIME's Archives: The bloody birth of Bangladesh.)

Observers say not grappling with what happened has had a profound cost for Bangladesh. "It's incredibly damaging for society," says Caitlin Reiger, director of international policy relations at the International Center for Transitional Justice in New York City. "Imagine the trauma of people who have suffered the loss of family members, rape and other violence and still have to live down the street from the likely perpetrators." Reiger and others claim this has led to Bangladesh's notorious culture of impunity, where corruption is widespread, extrajudicial killings by security personnel is still common and justice is known to come, if ever, oft-delayed and deferred. A tribunal, in theory, would lance the boil at the source of the rot. (Comment on this story.)

In practice, though, these proceedings are far more fraught, especially four decades after the fact. Doubts still swirl around a U.N.-backed tribunal in nearby Cambodia that delivered its first verdict last week, sentencing the chief prison master of the Khmer Rouge — the radical, collectivist regime that oversaw the killings of nearly 2 million people in the mid-1970s — to 35 years in jail. The sentence could possibly be shortened to 19 years and has raised howls of protest from many survivors of the Cambodian genocide. Still, most observers have cautiously applauded this belated, imperfect justice — delivered despite years of foot-dragging by the ruling government, which has ex–Khmer Rouge cadres in its ranks.

In Bangladesh, there's little question about the political will of the present government, run by the secularist Awami League, a party born during the fight for Bangladeshi independence. But there are fears that it is using the trials to grind its proverbial ax and target political enemies. "The process has to be as transparent as possible," says Riaz. "If they fail to do this properly, it'll be a disaster for the nation." At the moment, the country's specially arranged International Crimes Tribunal is operating mostly on its own. As long as the country maintains the death penalty — executing just last year five men responsible for the 1975 murder of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the country's founding father and also father of the current Prime Minister — assistance from the international community will be limited.

Experts imagine the trials in Bangladesh, like those in Cambodia, may take years. While the four now under arrest may be the most well-known participants in the genocide, countless others remain scattered across the country, abroad in Pakistan and elsewhere; extraditions look unlikely. Prosecutors will also be hampered by a woeful lack of documentary and forensic evidence. Low-lying Bangladesh sits atop an alluvial plain and some of the most common killing zones in 1971 were by water pumping stations and rivers, where bodies were literally flushed away into the sea.

Still, to this day, almost every single household in the country has a story to tell of a family member slain. Most counts of the genocide arrive between 1 million and 3 million people killed; 200,000 to half a million women were raped. In Bangladesh, perhaps more than in any other grim vetting of the past, raw personal testimonies may have to comprise the bulk of the proceedings. "This should never be about targeting one political group," says Reiger, "but about painstakingly following the evidence and seeing where it leads you." For a country seeking to put its ghosts to bed, the road ahead is still shrouded in shadow.

[chottala.com] Pakistan's ISI spending money to screw up War Crime Trials ......!!!!



You are right Mr. Izhar Ayubi : 
 
Demanding the Trial of the criminal Al-Bodor death squad it's
organizers and killers is on my Top priority list ....
......nothing new ..... recall discussions with you 3 years ago in this
forum...
 
The issue of the "Trials of the War Criminals" has definitely
given an impetus in the BAL's 2008 December  election campaigns
which puts BAL with an obligation to try the war criminals and
perpetrators of crime against humanity belonging to A-Bodor death
squads etc.
 
Among many other factors, the due  punishment of the Al-Bodor
death squad killers and their operators will certainly ease our
national guilty-conscience and thereby strengthen the foundations
of  our nationhood ..... True Justice must prevail .... give the
scoundrels what they deserve ....... The Jamaate Islami
and it's Islami Chattro Sangho cum Al-Bodor death squad's
murderous attrocities in the name of our religion is a historical
phenomenon. This kinds of phenomena may repeat under a different
pretext or excuse in another stage of our socio-historical progress.....
 
As  such exemplary  punishments  must given to the war criminals and
organizers of Al-Bodor and other death squads [  Al shams & Rajakers
killers, etc].
 
Lest we forget and lest we fail to punish these criminal
under the ideological covers our future generations will never forgive us
our faiures ...
 
Bear in mind past is never past .... The past is never dead ...It is not even past
... it is is catching up now .........

When I read your posts it appears to me that Bangladesh has no problem other than the trial of the collabotators when the country is suffering from multiferous problems that is affecting day to day operation of the ountry. You and the BAL if paid some attention to the problems facing the nation it would have done immense good to the country. I want to know from you as to what good will it do to the people of Bangladesh by the trial of collaborators which ultimately is going to be aborted as was done some thirty five years ago.

Re: [chottala.com] Jamaat Leaders to be Kept in Custody, Where is Tofael?



Dear Mr. Ullah,

Looks like you are trying to justify one style of killings with other killings which is unacceptable. Those were not brought to justice does not mean RAJAKER would be brought to justice? Let's start with RAJAKER/Na-Paki first. DO NOT TRY TO JUSTIFY WITH OTHERs.

 

Rajaker/Killer/Looter/Rapists should be hang first. Let's wait for the future for other crime. Sorry Mr. Ullah, I have no sympathy for any criminals/killer especially for your RAJAKER Leader.

 

Regards

Shamim

Hi

If you are correct & have evidence in support of your sayings, why u are sitting
idle, why don't you go to court. You have all the right to seek
justice. We are with you.

So, don't try to make story , we are still alive, we also know the truth
what is what. who is criminal and who is not.

So, stop all these nonsense.

Dhaka, Aug 5 (bdnews24.com)–Home minister Shahara Khatun suspects that allies of suspected war criminals might instigate the ongoing unrest in the readymade garment industry in an effort to foil their trial.

She expressed her view while answering journalists at a discussion with a delegation of RMG factory owners at the home ministry on Thursday.

"Why such unrest is taking place when the war crime trials have just begun? Who are the people instigating the protesters against the government?" she questioned.

Referring to a reported threat of a Jamaat-e-Islami leader to the government, the minister said: "Such people are around us. Please help the law enforcers to arrest them."

Jamaat central working committee member Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher told a function at the National Press Club on Tuesday their forces were ready. "They will be used against the government when time comes."

Shahara said outsiders were involved in the unrest at Ashulia RMG factories. "Some Lungi-clad people were among the protestors and they attacked the law enforcers."

"Who are those people? What is there intention?" she questioned.

Addressing the owners of apparel factories, she said: "Don't take the law in your hand. Tough actions would be taken against those being engaged in such activities."

Mentioning that around 80 percent of country's total export earnings come from the garment sector, the minister said the industry should be protected for the country's sake.

Member of the parliamentary standing committee on the home ministry Sanjida Khanam and additional home secretary Iqbal Khan Chowdhury were also present at the discussion.

[chottala.com] 'If they hang, I will burst into joy'



'If they hang, I will burst into joy'
 
Thu, Aug 5th, 2010 2:33 pm BdST
Prodip Chowdhury
bdnews24.com senior correspondent
 
"Standing on the spot where they had killed my relatives, I'll cry out to them and say 'see, the rule of law has been established in Bangladesh. Justice has been served.' I've been waiting for such a day for 39 years."

Amir Hossain Mollah, plaintiff of the case filed for the mass murder at Pallabi's Alokdi village during 1971, was voicing his hopes about the trials of International Crimes Tribunal.

On Monday, the tribunal ordered four top fundamentalist Jamaat-e-Islami leaders arrested in a case that charged them with crimes against humanity during the war in 1971, to be held in custody until further orders.

They are Jamaat chief Matiur Rahman Nizami, secretary general Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed, and assistant secretaries general Muhammad Kamaruzzaman and Abdul Quader Molla.

Talking to bdnews24.com on Wednesday, Amir said: "I could not contain the tears of joy when they were made stand in the dock after 39 years of the crimes."

"You cannot contain the delight of putting such notorious 'Razakars' in jail. I'll be happier when they hang," he added.

He filed the case on January 24, 2008 in connection with Duaripara mass killing against 10 persons, including the four Jamaat leaders.

It is not confirmed whether this is the case on which the four men had arrest warrants issued.

The other accused are Meer Abul Kashem, Sarder Abdus Salam, Khwaza Asimuddin, Akhtar Gunda, 'Newaz' and 'Latif'.

The case statement said that early on Apr 24, 1971, the Pakistani army raided Alokdi village with around 150 "Razakars", including the accused, led by Quader Molla, joining them from the village's east side.

64 villagers were murdered in the raid. Twenty-one of them were Amir's relatives. The raiders also killed 280 labourers who had gone to the village to harvest paddy from the fields.

All the bodies were piled into three mass-graves and the village was set on fire.

Amir, who is seeking justice for these crimes, moved on to detail bdnews24.com about the happenings of the fated day:

"After Bangabandhu's declaration of independence on Mar 7, sporadic fights broke out among the Biharis and Bengali's at various areas of Mirpur. I was a school student and was preparing for my matriculation exams."

"On Apr 23, my father took me with him to Birulia village to harvest paddy. As the boat was over-laden with paddy on our way back, we were delayed."

"Opting not to travel in the dark, my father and I took shelter at my uncle Rustam Ali's residence at Alokdi village."

"We were shaken awake with sounds of gunfire. You could hear the Fazr Azan (call for prayers) from one side and gunshots from the other."

"My father ran with me and we dived into a canal. We stayed hidden under the water hyacinths."

"Amir paused for a while, as if re-living the horrors of the day: "We could hear Quader's name being called over and over again. They were saying, 'catch them! Kill them! Quader bhai come here.'

"They ransacked the village until 1pm and killed 64 villagers including my uncle and 20 other relatives. Then they killed the 280 labourers who went to the village to harvest paddy. They piled all the bodies into three mass graves."

The raiders also set the whole village on fire when they were leaving."

"The Pakistani army flew in to the Alokdi village from the west on helicopters. And the Razakars, led by Quader Molla, entered the village from the east. They split into two parts and conducted the attack from all sides.

"When we entered the village after the raid, we found my uncles body mutilated with knives. Many other relatives were perforated by shots," he added.

Responding to a query asking him why he filed the case so many years after the incident, Amir said, "Conditions were not favourable from Bangabandhu's murder until Jan 11, 2007. Other than that, the separation of the judiciary is another factor. So, I filed the case even though a long time has passed."

When asked whether he is suffering from any insecurity after filing the case, Amir Hossain Mollah replied, "I was shot in my hand and legs during the liberation war. I believe I had died then. These 39 years of life is a bonus, I am no longer afraid to die. Since I did not die in 1971, I will die after seeing the punishment of Razakars."

[chottala.com] ALLEGATIONS AGAINST SAYEDEE: Tribunal hears war crimes of Sayedee



Tribunal hears war crimes of Sayedee
Decides to pass order in his Aug 10 presence
Julfikar Ali Manik

The International Crimes Tribunal yesterday directed the prisons authority to produce detained Jamaat-e-Islami Nayeb-e-Ameer Delwar Hossain Sayedee before it on August 10.

The order came after the hearing on a complaint case (information obtained by an investigating agency) from the prosecution that alleged that Sayedee committed war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity and peace during the Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971.

Sayedee is the fifth person against whom the prosecution placed allegations before the tribunal of committing offences under International Crimes Tribunal Act, 1973.

Describing the allegations against Sayedee alias Delu, Syed Rezaur Rahman, on behalf of the seven-member prosecution team led by Chief Prosecutor Ghulam Arieff Tipoo, prayed before the tribunal to issue arrest warrant against Sayedee.

The three-member tribunal, headed by Justice Nizamul Huq, however, did not issue arrest warrant as the prosecution categorically mentioned in their petition that Sayedee is now in custody in connection with other cases filed against him.

"Since the suspect is in jail custody, we are inclined to issue production warrant first asking the jail authority to bring the said suspect [Sayedee] and hear the application [submitted by the prosecution for Sayedee's arrest warrant] in his presence," tribunal chairman Nizamul said.

The tribunal also said hearing on the prosecution's appeal for arrest warrant against Sayedee might take place on August 10. It also fixed August 10 for hearing on the six separate petitions filed earlier by the defence of four other Jamaat leaders, who have been shown arrested in connection with the first complaint case of the prosecution.

Four other top Jamaat leaders--Ameer Motiur Rahman Nizami, Secretary General Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojahid, Senior Assistant Secretaries General Mohammad Kamaruzzaman and Abdul Quader Molla--were produced before the tribunal in connection with the first complaint case of the prosecution in connection with war crimes.

In the afternoon, Registrar of the tribunal Md Shahinur Islam told The Daily Star that his office already sent the copy of the "production warrant" to Dhaka Central Jail to bring Sayedee before the tribunal on August 10.

During yesterday's submission, Prosecutor Rezaur said primarily it is evident through the investigation, and collected evidence and information that crimes against humanity (as per article 3(2) of International Crimes Tribunal Act, 1973) were committed in 1971 at different places in Pirojpur and Sayedee committed those crimes.

Counsels for Nizami, Mojahid, Kamaruzzaman, and Molla also stood for Sayedee yesterday.

At the beginning of yesterday's proceedings, counsels for the defence wanted to submit their Vokalatnama (document stating the name of the attorney for the defendant) before the tribunal for Sayedee but the tribunal asked them to do it later as Sayedee is yet to be produced before it.

After submitting three petitions Monday, counsels for Nizami, Mojahid, Kamaruzzaman and Molla, submitted three more petitions to the registrar on Tuesday.

Of the three petitions filed Tuesday, one was filed seeking stay on all further proceedings of the tribunal, another sought release of Nizami, Mojahid, Kamaruzzaman and Molla from jail while the third for sending back the records of two cases to the court concerned.

The two cases were filed against the four with Pallabi Police Station in 2008, and Keraniganj Police Station in 2007, in connection with crimes during the Liberation War.

On Monday, the defence filed three petitions where they prayed for recalling of the arrest warrants issued against the four, sought certified copies of all the documents of the complaint case against the four, and permission to submit Vokalatnama for the four.

The tribunal also told the defence lawyers that due to space constraint in the courtroom, the tribunal decided to allocate 10 seats to the lawyers appearing for the accused.

"We hope you will cooperate," the tribunal chairman told the defence.

Around 20 lawyers including Golam Mohammad Chowdhury, Helaluddin Mollah, and Tajul Islam were present during yesterday's proceedings.

Tajul told The Daily Star that as per the section 9(1) of the act: "The proceedings before a tribunal shall commence upon the submission by the chief prosecutor, or a prosecutor authorised by the chief prosecutor on his behalf, of formal charges of crimes alleged to have been committed by each of the accused persons."

He said no formal charge has been submitted, so they filed a petition seeking stay on all further proceedings of the tribunal.

ALLEGATIONS AGAINST SAYEDEE
Prosecutor Rezaur Rahman at the beginning of his submission gave a brief history of the start of the Liberation War.

He also gave a general description of genocide, crimes against humanity and peace, war crimes committed by the Pakistani occupation force and their auxiliary forces such as Razakar, Al-Badar, and Al-Shams.

After that he stated specific allegations against Sayedee.

He said a contingent of Pakistan army led by then captain Ejaj went to Pirojpur to perpetrate the most barbaric torture in world history on people seeking independence.

After meeting captain Ejaj, Delwar Hossain Sayedee, son of late Yusuf Ali Sikder, Saudkhali, Indurkani thana (Zia Nagar), Pirojpur, (present address- 914 Shahidbagh, Motijheel) pledged to provide the Pakistan army all out cooperation for "saving Pakistan", he said.

After establishing close links with captain Ejaj, Sayedee had established Razakar, Al-Badar and Al-Shams with people of anti-liberation forces including local Jamaat-e-Islami. This was done to establish themselves as an auxiliary force of the Pakistan army in Pirojpur and its adjacent areas, he went on to say.

They took a stand against freedom fighters and the pro-independence citizens and committed murder, arson, looting, rape and also forced women to go to the Pakistan army personnel so that they could rape them, he said in his submission.

Sayedee and his associates along with the Pakistan armed forces entered the houses of pro-independence citizens--Alamgir Poshari, Mahbub Poshsari, Chan Mian, Jahangir Poshari and Kanchan Poshari--around 3:00pm on May 8, 1971, looted their money, gold ornaments and valuables.

The criminals also torched their houses.

The offenders on instructions of Sayedee killed more than nine people with the rifles of the Pakistan army and handed over several people to the Pakistani occupying forces to be killed, he said.

Around 10:00am of June 2, 1971, criminals led by Sayedee and associates of the Pakistan forces entered Hindu Para, eastern side to Tengrakhali village, and looted their money, gold ornaments and valuables, and torched their homes.

The perpetrators held the people of the village hostage, tortured them tying them to coconut trees and shot them dead.

They in association with the Pakistan army killed freedom fighters, innocent people, intellectuals and students, hid their bodies, and tortured young women and killed them after rape.
