ভিন্ন মতের, তাই আদিম বর্বর স্টাইলে নির্যাতন! মিউজিক ও গানের তালে তালে প্রথমে রড আর হকিস্টিক দিয়ে পেটানো হলো। তারপর বৈদ্যুতিক শক। নৃশংস বর্বর স্টাইলের এ নির্যাতনের শিকার হয়েছেন ঢাকা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের সলিমুল্লাহ মুসলিম হলের (এসএম হল) চার ছাত্র। আর এ নির্যাতন করেছে বর্তমান সরকারের শীর্ষব্যক্তির 'সোনার ছেলে' বলে আখ্যা দেয়া ছাত্রলীগ।
সময় শনিবার দিবাগত রাত দুইটা। ছাত্রলীগ এসএম হল শাখার সাধারণ সম্পাদক আনু আনোয়ারের নির্দেশে তার গ্রুপের সমর্থক নাহিদ, হাফিজ, দিদার, পলাশ, সাকিল ও ভাড়াটিয়া ক্যাডার রানা এক তাবলীগ জামায়াতের ছাত্রের দেয়া তথ্যের ভিত্তিতে চার ছাত্রকে বিভিন্ন রুম থেকে হলের রিমান্ড সেল নামে
পরিচিত ১৪১ নম্বর রুমে ধরে নিয়ে যায়। ২৫ নম্বর গণরুম থেকে ধরে নেয়া হয় বাংলা তৃতীয়বর্ষের ছাত্র মোবারক হোসেনকে, ৮৫ নম্বর গণরুম থেকে নেয়া হয় সাংবাদিকতা বিভাগের ছাত্র হাসানুল বারীকে, ১৩৮ নম্বর রুম থেকে নেয়া হয় আইন তৃতীয় বর্ষের ছাত্র তারেকুল ইসলামকে এবং ১৬৫ নম্বর গণরুমের সামনে থেকে নেয়া হয় ইসলামী স্টাডিজের ছাত্র শহিদুল ইসলামকে। ছাত্রলীগ অভিযোগ পায় এরা ইসলামী ছাত্রশিবির কর্মী।
এদের রিমান্ড সেলে নেয়ার পর ভেতর থেকে দরোজা বন্ধ করে দেয়া হয়। এরপর কম্পিউটারে মিউজিক ও গান ছেড়ে দিয়ে হকস্টিক ও রড দিয়ে পেটানো শুরু হয়। নির্যাতনের একপর্যায়ে দেয়া হয় বৈদ্যুতিক শক। এতে তারা একপর্যায়ে জ্ঞান হারিয়ে ফেলে। ভোর পাঁচটা পর্যন্ত চলে এ নির্যাতন। গভীর রাতে নির্যাতিতদের চিত্কারে আশপাশের কক্ষের ছাত্ররা ছুটে এলেও ক্যাডারদের ভয়ে প্রতিবাদ করার সাহস পায়নি কেউ। তাদের উদ্ধারে হল প্রভোস্টের সঙ্গে যোগাযোগের চেষ্টা করেও তাকে পাওয়া যায়নি। এরপর ভোররাতে প্রক্টর কে এম সাইফুল ইসলাম খবর পেয়ে ঘটনাস্থলে গিয়ে তালাবদ্ধ অবস্থা থেকে উদ্ধার করেন আহত দু'জনকে। তিনি তাদের প্রক্টর অফিসে নিয়ে আসেন। আর বাকি দু'জনকে নির্যাতনের পর ছেড়ে দেয়া হয়। মোবারক ও হাসানুল বারীকে উদ্ধারের পর গতকাল দুপুরে জিজ্ঞাসাবাদের পর প্রক্টর তাদের ছেড়ে দেন। তবে যেসব ছাত্রলীগ নেতাকর্মী এ অমানবিক নির্যাতন করেছে তাদের বিরুদ্ধে ব্যবস্থা নেয়নি প্রক্টর কিংবা হল কর্তৃপক্ষ।
নির্যাতনের শিকার হাসানুল বারী সাংবাদিকদের বলেন, রড ও হকস্টিক দিয়ে মারার পর আমাদের বৈদ্যুতিক শক দেয়া হয়েছে। তখন আমরা জ্ঞান হারিয়ে ফেলে ছিলাম। হাসানুল বলেন, আমি কৃষক পরিবারের সন্তান। হল ছাড়া হয়ে এখন আমি কোথায় থাকব।
এ ব্যাপারে প্রক্টর সাইফুল ইসলাম বলেন, নির্যাতিতদের উদ্ধারের পর তাদের ছেড়ে দেয়া হয়েছে। জড়িতদের শাস্তির ব্যাপারে তিনি বলেন, বিষয়টি হল কর্তৃপক্ষ দেখবেন। আমি হল প্রভোস্টের সঙ্গে একাধিকবার যোগাযোগ করেও তাদের পাইনি।

[chottala.com] Regarding the "Tele-Talk between Sheikh Hasina & Hilary Clinton"

From Wikileaks to Hillaryleak
Shafik Rehman
 
http://opinion.bdnews24.com/2011/02/02/from-wikileaks-to-hillaryleak
February 2, 2011
 
On 28 November 2010, website Wikileaks and its five international associates,
namely, The New York Times, The Guardian, EI Pais, Der Spiegel and Le Monde,
began to publish serially "Secret US Diplomatic Cables". Worldwide repercussions
followed and world politics looked a bit different. The US government was
embarrassed. Information published by Wikileaks were considered to be true.
 
On the contrary, transcript of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's telephone
conversation with Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina published on 16
January 2011, has raised doubts about its credibility. Photocopies of this
transcript (in English) have been circulating. Two English newspapers, an
English weekly and a Bengali newspaper published abridged version of the
transcript. But, the question remained, is this transcript, which may be termed
Hillaryleak true? Not just Awami League supporters have dismissed it as untrue,
but some BNP supporters have expressed doubts as well. So, is Hillaryleak true?
 
Before going into that, I would like to mention about Art Buchwald who was the
top satirist of the last six decades. In 1925, he was born in an
Austrian-Hungarian Jewish family in New York. His father was a tailor and very
poor. Buchwald was sent to an orphanage. After some years, Buchwald returned
home. At 17, he left home and joined the US Army. During World War II he was at
the Pacific. After the war, he chose journalism as his profession. He left US
and went to Paris. There he joined as an editorial staff of the European version
of The New York Herald Tribune. Since then he became highly popular by writing
humorous but sharp, satirical yet humanitarian, analytical yet easy reading
socio-political columns. In 1962 Buchwald returned to US. Tribune Media
Syndicate began publishing Buchwald's column in 550 newspapers simultaneously on
both sides of the Atlantic. Buchwald's column became an institution. For readers
with sense of humour and political consciousness, Buchwald's column became a
must read. In 1982 Buchwald was awarded Pulitzer Prize.
 
I was introduced to Buchwald's writings in early '80s. In 1979, I returned to
Dhaka from London and felt the absence of good newspaper in Bangladesh. We had
to depend on BBC World Service radio for international news. At that time I
began to read International Herald Tribune and was deeply attracted to
Buchwald's column. I noticed, he was the only columnist who could write by
mixing fictitious dialogue with facts. Of course, not all his writings were of
this type. But, often he wrote fictitious dialogue based satirical columns. It
is now said, after Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) who wrote Gulliver's Travels, Art
Buchwald was the topmost political satirist.
 
In April 1980, I began writing a weekly column, Jaijaidin, in a Bengali weekly,
Sometimes, I began to follow Buchwald's technique. In 1984, I began
editing-publishing weekly Jaijaidin and there I began writing a weekly political
column, called Diner Par Din. Occasionally, I wrote dialogue based columns. They
were popular with the readers, but disliked by the rulers. Weekly Jaijaidin was
banned first in 1985 and then in 1986. One of the reasons was, in Diner Par Din
column, I published a fictitious dialogue between the then president HM Ershad
and his foreign minister. I was sent to exile in London. I realised how
dangerous it could be to write fictitious political dialogue.
 
I continued to read Art Buchwald's columns and came to the conclusion, to avoid
such dangers, the columnist must have deep knowledge on his characters, his
power of imagination should be strong and maximum precaution must be taken in
this kind of writings. In short, this is a difficult art to muster.
 
That is why, although in US and UK there are so many good columnists, we do not
see someone like Art Buchwald who can write imaginary political dialogue.
 
And on this logic, I would say, tele-talks published in Hillaryleak may be true.
Had there been a Bangladeshi writer who is capable of writing such imaginary
tele-dialogue, we would have known long before. Had there been an American or a
British columnist who is capable of writing such imaginary tele-talk, we would
have read his columns long before.
 
So, the question is why some people are hesitant to accept Hillaryleak as true?
 
To answer that, we shall have to consider Hillaryleak's contents which can be
broadly divided into seven parts. Now read on.
 
One:After preliminary exchange of greetings Secretary of State said, Madame
Prime Minister I have been updated by Ambassador-at-Large Stephen Rapp about his
visit to Dhaka. Honestly, at the request of New Delhi, we sent him there and
tried our best to help you better organise the trial. After listening from Amb.
Rapp and our Ambassador Moriarty, I felt obligated to inform you that both I and
President Obama take the issue of human rights in its proper spirit. It is on
this context, I called you to inform you that United States does not support the
trial in its form and content. Bangladesh has to reform the whole process in a
way so that it doesn't become a conduit of punishing opposition.
 
Comment:On 13 January 2011, in a press briefing in Dhaka Ambassador Rapp said
that US attaches importance on a fair and transparent war crimes trial and on
amending the law regarding International War Crimes Tribunal. So, nothing new
came out here. The new information is Ambassador Rapp was sent to Dhaka at the
request of New Delhi.
 
Two:In reply, Prime Minister said, Madame Secretary, I understand your concern
and I already asked my Law Minister to take note of what Amb. Rapp suggested.
This is a trial we undertook with active support and assistance of New Delhi. I
am sure Indian Ambassador in Washington DC will brief you further on that.
 
Comment:It was generally regarded that the Prime Minister had begun the trial
with active support and assistance of New Delhi. So, here too nothing new has
come out. The new information is, the role of Indian Ambassador in Washington is
significant.
 
Three:Secretary then said, Prime Minister, United States stands for a certain
values and policies which may or may not be the likes of New Delhi. Of course,
we have been attentive to New Delhi's most of the suggestions but this one I
thought I should forewarn you.
 
Prime Minister replied, Madame Secretary we noted your concerns and can tell you
this much that this was in our manifesto and our people would like to see the
trial should go on.
 
Comment:There is no new revelation. Hasina has always been saying, people would
like to see this trial to go on.
 
Four:Secretary then said, absolutely, but that has to be done in a way so that
it is accepted internationally. I am sure, even people who voted for your party,
may not accept the trial in its form and format which is, to our view, flawed
and politically motivated. President Obama working hard to bring peace to your
part of the world, Madame Prime Minister. Therefore, United States would not
allow any action that may only help some legitimate political forces going
underground to create more problem for you and thereby, for us as well.
 
Prime Minister replied, I understand. I understand. Don't worry we will fix it.
Don't take it that seriously. We are doing it as we have to do and there are
some culprits who we need to straighten up.
 
Comment:Recently, US foreign policy has been changing to some extent. You can
understand that when you see Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is apparently
supportive of the Egyptian people who are demonstrating against President
Mubarak. The US does not want punishing religion-based parties on the pretext of
weeding out terrorists. US now knows, such repressive measures against religion
based political parties may drive party activists into underground and in this
jet age, revengeful terrorists may arrive in US and pursue terrorism there. So,
the US wants politics to remain open where religion based parties may
participate without fear. But note, Prime Minister said, the matter should not
be taken seriously. Can the Prime Minister say this in public? Of course, she is
serious. That is why all the top leaders of Jamaat are in jail.
 
Five:Secretary then said, Ambassador Rapp also informed me about your
government's influence on the judiciary and I was told how judiciary is giving
verdict the way you want. This is not good at the end. You have to be watchful.
 
Prime Minister replied, thank you, thank you. I always value suggestion from
yourself and President Clinton.
 
Comment:Everybody knows that the judiciary has been set up. The US also knows
it. That is why secretary is forewarning that such a judiciary may be bad for
the country at the end.
 
Six:Secretary then said, Madame Prime Minister, let me come to the core point
for which I called you. As you have seen even Washington Post picked up your
treatment to Dr. Yunus and Grameen Bank. I thought it is about time to tell you
how upset we are in Washington DC. I am personally upset because Dr. Yunus has
been a family friend to the Clintons long before his wining of Nobel Prize.
President Clinton is equally upset. Hope you are aware how hard he worked to see
Dr. Yunus gets this award. I know people may have personal issues, but when it
comes to national icon like Dr. Yunus, I thought Bangladesh shouldn't demonise
country's only Nobel Laureate.
 
Prime Minister tried to stop her. Madame Secretary, please listen, please listen

 
But Secretary continued, Madame Prime Minister, please let me finish first. I
hope you are aware that President Obama is a big fan of micro-credit. He is a
fan of microfinance since his mother had her thesis on this subject. So, I am
making this call to let you know how upset both of us — President Obama and I —
at your continued effort to demonise Dr. Yunus.
 
Prime Minister replied, Madame Secretary, I hope you are aware that it is not us
who brought up this issue. Norway is the first to complain about Dr. Yunus'
misplaced fund. After all, this is our domestic issue and Madame Secretary we
will do it as per our own rules and regulations.
 
Comment:It is well known that Dr Yunus has a close relationship with Clinton
family. Also known to some is that Bill Clinton had put his efforts to secure a
Nobel Prize for Dr Yunus. What has now been revealed by this tele-talk is
current President Obama is also a fan of Dr Yunus and Obama's mother had written
a thesis on micro-credit finance. Note that, Prime Minister blamed Norway's
initiative. But she did not say Norway had investigated and cleared Dr Yunus
before awarding him Nobel Prize. Neither did the Prime Minister say that the
prime drive of the documentary telecast in a Norwegian television was to
criticise the concept of micro-credit. Although, Prime Minister did not mention
these, clearly Secretary was aware of the real position.
 
Seven:After this, Secretary said, Madame Prime Minister, I thought I would not
have to go that far. But, unfortunately, I was wrong. I hope you know as much we
know, how your government came to power. Don't forget that we helped you by
congratulating you after the election terming it as a free and fair. You know
Prime Minister, how this election result was pre-arranged at the behest of our
good friends in New Delhi. We acted the way they suggested us. And please don't
forget that Gen. Moeen, who brought you to power, now in the USA and perhaps, we
now know, more than you could possibly imagine. Prime Minister, I am not saying
that we will disown you so soon. I am just trying to place issues in the order
of history demands it.
 
At this point, Prime Minister tried to change the subject and said, Madame
Secretary we are aware of your support and assistance. We will do all we can to
keep you happy. Don't worry. We noted your point. Now let me know when you are
coming to visit my country.
 
Secretary replied, Thanks for the invitations, Madame Prime Minister. I thank
you for your time.
 
Prime Minister said, Madame Secretary, please bring President Clinton and your
daughter and son in law.
Hilary hangs up on the other side …
 
Comment:It was generally understood that Awami League had won the last election
(December 2008) with the help of General Moeen and India. But, it was unknown
how much support was given by US to Awami League.
 
The two most significant information to emerge from Hillaryleak are:
a.       the results of the elections were pre-arranged, and
b.      US had supported this.
 
So, this then was the main points of Hillaryleak. Those who are saying that this
is not reliable are arguing that the full identity of the source is not known
and the language of the Secretary is not befitting.
 
First, consider the source. It was published in Facebook on 16 January 2011 at
10:28 am by Hidden Truth. Obviously, people behind Hidden Truth did not wish to
take risks like that of Julian Assange and refrained from publishing their real
identity.
 
Note the date and time of the publication.
 
Prime Minister's Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad in a press statement said,
Secretary had telephoned Prime Minister on Saturday 15 January 2011 at 9:30 am
(BST). It was then 8:30 pm in Washington DC on Friday 14 January 2011, After
this tele-talk, the transcript was published in US on Sunday 16 January at 10:28
am Washington DC time. In other words, in US, people concerned, had 36 hours to
take action on Mr Azad's statement. Clearly, concerned people in US were deeply
annoyed because something quite opposite regarding the tele-talk had been stated
by Mr Azad. He claimed Secretary of State had praised the Prime Minister and had
promised to act jointly on different issues.
 
Perhaps that is why, someone in US, who was informed and concerned, disclosed
the text of tele-talk in the Facebook.
 
 
Regarding the Secretary's language, anybody who had been listening to her
regularly, will know, terms such as, absolutely, honestly, conduit, demonise,
let me come to the core point, are typically hers. She also called Clinton as
President Clinton. Because, once elected President of US, he is always called
President. The Secretary knows this. She also knows that President Obama's
mother had written a thesis on micro-credit financing. Not many people (American
or Bangladeshi) would have known this.
 
And, Prime Minister's language is also typically hers. Note that how she
repeats, I understand I understand, thank you thank you, please listen please
listen.
 
Actually, Bangladeshis already know about the close relationship of Awami League
with India and that India has been assisting the government on many issues.
 
Hillaryleak has merely confirmed what was widely known. So, why hesitate to
accept it as true? Why be reluctant to accept that the 2008 election results
were pre-arranged?
 
We should understand that, that is why Sheikh Hasina after returning from US in
November 2008, decided to contest in the December election, but did hardly do
any election campaign. Whilst her rival, BNP Chairperson criss-crossed some
10,000 km in two weeks, Sheikh Hasina stayed back in Dhaka conducting video
conferencing. Sheikh Hasina knew strenuous campaign was unnecessary, a
pre-arranged win was waiting.
 
People will judge whether Hillaryleak is true. It is curious that so far US has
not given any rejoinder on this.
 
However, if Hillaryleak is true, then we must conclude that, December 2008
election did not bring back democracy — conspiracy was established.
 
But where does that leave the Election Commission?
 
Before answering that, let me go back to Art Buchwald. Due to kidney failure
Buchwald died on 17 January 2007 at age 81.
 
He wrote his own video obituary which was published the next day by The New York
Times. It showed Buchwald smiling and saying, "Hi, I'm Art Buchwald. I just
died".
Perhaps, after the publication of Hillaryleak, the Election Commission may say,
"Hi, we're Election Commission. We just died".
 
But, does the Election Commission have the honesty and sense of humour like Art
Buchwald?
