Brave Bangladesh!
Abid Bahar
------------ ----
We love our cup of tea
We will have our Bangladesh dream swear on thee!
But divided we fall
Brave Bangladeshis all
!A declaration, a Bangladesh Doctrine for all people
We hold these truths to be self-evident and applicable.
On God and on the People's Assambly we place reliance
 We will remove the enemy as advisors and crocodiles in our ports and bid with
defiance.

Snakes and Ladders in Bangladesh politics;
 democracy is the ladder in essence
Fascism is the biggest snake, with the Chatro League,
 i'ts all in common sense.
Indian hegemony is the dangerous snake we know in Nehru's mens
Don't tell me nonsense
 but we can make it with patriotism and our conscience
.Enemies wouldn't dare Bangladesh to end
Only it will, if Moin U wins more horses and friends
This is our land
Better know we are not frightened.
Bangladeshis, join hand in hand
United we stand.

Sons of freedom
let's establish democracy against fascism.
Brave Bangladesh
The banners of virtue of our land shall walk with us
Mir Jaffor will go down to history and hush
Our heroes lead on, and the foe fly before us.

The gloomy nights before us flies
with cowards, Jaffors and spies
Great men will rule the land
With Bangladesh patriots hand in hand!
(Abid Bahar, playwright and public speaker, teaches in Canada)

[chottala.com] Re: Tarique laundered money case - not politically motivated, FBI tell s court

There were hundreds of allegation of corruption practice by Awami Leaders. Interim Fakhruddin led military regime tried to prosecute all corrupts unsuccessfully.
Current Hasina government withdrew all cases against the Awami Leaguers to save their own corrupts but prosecuting the son of opposition leader. That proves this the case against
Tareq Zia is totally politically motivated to discredit the family of opposition leader Khaleda Zia. Under Hasina rule and pro-government Judges, justice cannot be expected for Tareq Zia.
Before prosecuting Tareq Zia all other corrupts of the ruling party should be prosecuted.
I do strongly believe that, the FBI was misadvised by the repressive Hasina regime. My question is who paid for FBI agents trip to Bangladesh ? Was it paid from US taxpayer dollar or by Hasina regime of Bangladesh ?

Tarique laundered money

FBI tells court; US helped ACC as the case was not politically motivated; defence counsels boycott proceedings

Debra Laprevotte
 

An FBI agent yesterday testified in the Tk-20.41-crore money-laundering case filed against BNP chief Khaleda Zia's son Tarique Rahman and his business partner Giasuddin Al Mamun.

This is for the first time that a US Federal Bureau of Investigation agent has testified before a court in Bangladesh. The testimony is expected to be a turning point in the case since the agent has effectively said Tarique laundered money through using Mamun's account in a Singapore bank.

Debra Laprevotte, a supervisory special agent of the FBI, narrated before a Dhaka court how she had tracked down the money allegedly laundered by BNP Senior Vice-Chairman Tarique Rahman and Mamun to a bank account in Singapore.

She said the documents recovered from the Singapore bank include detailed records of money transfers and payments made from the account. It also had photocopies of Tarique and Mamun's passports, which were submitted when the two applied for credit cards from the bank.

"The first credit card on the account was a Visa credit card in the name of Mr Mamun," she told the court, adding, "…There is another credit card in the name of Tarique Rahman."

Giasuddin Al Mamun, 47, stood in the dock at the back of the courtroom throughout the two-hour-long proceedings yesterday. Tarique Rahman remains a fugitive.

After Laprevotte's testimony, the judge of Special Judge's Court-3 asked Mamun whether he would like to cross-examine Laprevotte to which Mamun shook his head to say no. His lawyer had earlier left the court protesting Laprevotte's testimony.

When the proceedings began at 11:20pm, barrister Fakhrul Islam, Mamun's lawyer, opposed Laprevotte's testifying. He submitted a petition seeking adjournment of the hearing on the ground that the witness had not been mentioned in the charge sheet and that additional witnesses could only testify after all witnesses mentioned in the charge sheet had given their depositions.

Opposing the petition, Anti-Corruption Commission chief counsel Anisul Haq said there was no legal barrier to having testimony from any additional witnesses. He argued that Section-540 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) says that the court may summon any person as a witness or re-examine any person, even if that person was not summoned before, if his or her evidence is essential to the just decision of the case.

The judge then rejected the defence petition and asked Laprevotte to take the dock.

When she stepped up to the dock around noon, there was commotion. Lawyers, including Khandaker Mahbub Hossain and Fakhrul Islam, representing Tarique and Mamun, boycotted the court and left. They brought out a procession on the court premises in protest later on.

Laprevotte, 50, began her testimony at 12:05pm.

"I'm a supervisory special agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation," she said, adding, "I've been an FBI agent for 16 years. I have a master's degree in forensic science and advance training in money-laundering techniques."

"In my country, I'm considered an expert in international money laundering for testimony purposes," she said.

"In 2008, the then interim government of Bangladesh requested the assistance of the United States pursuant to a mutual legal assistance request," she said.

Because of the request, the United States government sent representatives of the department of justice to Dhaka to obtain information regarding the asset recovery cases, she said.

"The US reviewed this request to ensure that it was not politically motivated," she added.

She told the court that she started her investigation with the permission of the US government soon after the representatives of the US department of justice had met the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

"As part of my investigation, I discovered several bank accounts in Singapore. Among these accounts, I discovered a bank account in Citibank of Singapore," she said.

"The account was in the name of Giasuddin Al Mamun."

The US department of justice requested documents regarding the account via mutual legal assistance to Singapore.

"I received the documents for the bank accounts 158052-008 and 158052-016 for the years 2004 and 2005," she said.

She found two credit cards of the account.

"The first credit card on the account was a Visa credit card in the name of Mr Mamun," she told the court, adding that the number of Mamun's Visa credit card was 4568817000064124.

"There was another credit card in the name of Tarique Rahman," she said, spelling the letters of Tarique's name out loud from the paper she held. The number of the credit card was 4568817010064122.

Laprevotte then presented a set of documents, comprising 43 pages, before the court as evidence. She later gave the court another set of documents containing 229 pages.

Laprevotte said while the US received the account records from Singapore, the Bangladesh government also made a request to Singapore, via mutual legal assistance, for the bank records of the accounts, including that of Mamun.

"In December 2009, I compared the records received from Singapore to those received by Bangladesh government from Singapore," she said. "On December 15, 2009, I certified that both copies were identical and signed a letter of certification."

The US department of justice then sent the documents to the attorney general of Bangladesh via the Bangladeshi embassy in Washington DC, she added.

While reviewing all the bank records, she found a photocopy of Tarique Rahman's passport, which was submitted to Citibank Singapore to obtain the second credit card on Mamun's bank account, she told the court.

The number of Tarique's passport was Y0085483 and Mamun's was Q0998382, she said.

"It lists Tarique's father as late President Ziaur Rahman Bir Uttam. And his mother was listed as Begum Khaleda Zia," she said, spelling each name out loud before the court.

Laprevotte said bank records between 2002 and 2006 show how Tarique Rahman's credit card was used.

"The charges total $50,613.97, which were used for paying for travel to Athens of Greece, Frankfurt of Germany, Singapore, Bangkok and Dubai, along with shopping and medical expenses," she said.

The documents from the ACC revealed that a Bangladeshi businesswoman named Khadiza Islam transferred $7,50,000 to Mamun's account in Singapore, she added.

"These funds were transferred on August 18, 2003. This makes up most of the funds in Mr Mamun's account at Citibank Singapore, which was used to make payments from Tarique Rahman's credit card," she said.

"That is my testimony," said Debra Laprevotte, as she ended her 75-minute deposition at 1:20pm.

After the testimony, the judge called out to Mamun, who stood on the dock at the back of the courtroom, and asked him whether he could hear the judge's voice.

"Now I can hear you," Mamun replied with a smile.

It was then the judge asked him whether he would like to cross-examine the witness. Mamun shook his head.

Debra Laprevotte stepped off the dock at 1:25pm and the proceedings ended at 1:35pm.

Attorney General Mahbubey Alam was also present throughout the hearing.

The next session of the case will be on December 8.

Tarique was detained on March 7, 2007, and was allowed to go abroad for treatment in July the following year. He is in London now. Mamun was arrested in March, 2007.

Tarique's lawyers are trying to convince us that this as well as other cases against him are politically motivated. But these learned lawyers are not telling us why Tarique took a supplementary credit card against Mamun's bank account and used that on his foreign trips.

: Anis Sazzad

Could not find anywhere in the report where the FBI agent saying that Tarique laundered money. Don't you think your headline is misleading. What it appears that Tarique used the fund from an account which belongs to Mamun. No one talks about Khadiza Islam who actually transferred the money. Who is she? Where did she get the money?

    There is no way to cover the money laundering case. This is true that Tarique misused state power and earned huge money through illegal process. People of Bangladesh are working hard abroad and bringing money home and Tarique laundered country's money and took abroad. This is shame for the country.

    Totally false and a fabricated person appeared on behalf of AL. Tarique is the future of our BD. No chance to tarnish his image. Answer the people about the looted money by AL corrupt man in the share market. Where Joy got 30 million for crating in US? FBI must check the origin of this money. Tarique's case is nothing. It is only for harassment to Zia family.

    Money laundering can save businesses and individuals a lot of money. It is hard to track too that's why it is usually used when the person is making money with illegal activities. If you don't know what money laundering is, this article gives a great explanation.

    Tarique Lawyers should have to proved their client was not involved in the Money-laundering even Tarique was not squandered $ 50,613.97 in several occasion. Chanting the slogan with boycotting the court proceedings BNP-minded lawyers tried to carve out Tarique innocence. Tarique Lawyers have to prove in the court that this case has fabricated by government.

    I don't believe or disbelieve what Laprevotte says but I very strongly object to her appearance in Dhaka to testify against two Bangladeshi citizen's crime. Who paid her for this pleasure trip? And why Bangladesh government did'n take proper action through its own agency of this case in the first place? Was it impossible to contact Singapore government and their criminal investigation department and find out if Tarique/Mamun got any account in any Singapore bank and then find out how the amount was siphoned out from Bangladesh to that account?

    Why walk-out from court? If they are sure that their suitors are not guilty, better they fight the legal battle. Walk-out means lack of confidence in what they are claiming.

  • Andy

    Since the FBI has been so useful in Bangladesh's 'fight against corruption', why doesn't the US help to investigate other cases too? I am not saying that Tarique is innocent but I would like to see more corrupt individuals brought to justice, regardless of their political affiliation.

    If a FBI agent testifies the legitimacy of the evidence is way more than our law enforcers. The judge will give more credibility to it and US govt will make sure it is not fabricated or fake.

    Thursday, November 17, 2011 01:43 AM GMT+06:00 (21 hours ago)

    Having a credit card from an account that is owned by some one else does not prove that he has laundered money! So, this case against Tareque should be thrown out!

  • EsJay
    Thursday, November 17, 2011 02:14 AM GMT+06:00 (20 hours ago)

    Interesting though, she mentions that Tareq spent only 50,000 of the 750000 that was available on Mamuns account. In US, it would've been very difficult to prove a money laundring case out of this. Because he was not the sender or the reciver of the money and the amount he directly used is only 50,000. Ironically, this issue has been presented as the silver bullet for the case. It wouldn't last the premise if there were an independent jury.

    After this news there is no chance for Tarique to prove him not guilty. Now the political carrier of Tarique and Koko has been gone. This is great news for the nation. Now if Joy and Putul could be washed out from politics than nation will be quite relief from Queendom. Let's hope for the best. I am sure if AL did not come in power next time Joy and Putul will be in different crime case. It is over sure. Another deal is going on which was approved from PM's office for the security systems in Hazrat Shajalal airport.

    Similar type of corruption is hapenning still now. This society is indebted to corruption with long history ACC to economist Dr Akbar Ali khan and books written by other economists and journalists. We support this govt for digging out this case but nation wants digging out all corruptions financial and power abuse financial and not to pick up only BNP-Jamaat. Foreign ambassadors or Wikileaks or witnesses will be appreciated only for their impartial statement for estabilshing good governance rather than blackmailing the nation with cunningness.

    Thursday, November 17, 2011 05:20 AM GMT+06:00 (17 hours ago)

    As a credit card security and fraud analyst I do not understand under what law Tarique Rahman is guilty. If Giasuddin Al Mamun permits Tarique Rahman to use his credit card (second card under Tarique name) and Tarique use Mamun's credit, I do not see any problem with that. Internationally is lawful to use others (owner) credit card with his or her permission. Debra Laprevotte's evidence may help finding Mamun guilty under BD Money laundering law, not Tarique, he does not have any involvement. Interestingly all the newspaper highlighted Tarique Rahman as a guilty without knowing any International or DB Credit LawMoney laundering law.

    This is probably the most important twist in this case. First, the usage of this credit card has quite strongly proves Tarique's involvement in money laundering, even if it is not dirctly. Secondly, now we know for sure that while in power, Tarique must have hurt US interest very badly and now his political career is at stake. What makes me worried is that only bank statements, credit card statements and due diligence documents of these accounts would have been enough to prove what FBI has tried to prove. Physical appearance of an FBI official gives a different indication. I wish to know what the US has been denied.

    Route of all evils of forgetting our creator. We should remember that this temporal world is very short and soon all of us will die and return to our creator with all our deeds and then we will be rewarded or punished as per our deeds. So, we all should be very careful about our every single deed. We should make sure that our all deeds conform to the commandments of Islam.

We like to know in what connection she went to court? Finding no evidence on Tareq this corrupt govt trying to make report by a foreigner. Any citizen can use a credit card in foreign country. Look your own corrupt relatives and party man.

    Why after Tarique? There are thousands who made palaces, both at home and abroad, with plundered public money. Please publish a white paper on the politicians and their immediate family members who happened to be parliament members since independence. We would then know who was what, back in 1971? I hope, the government would have the guts to compile such a compendium and publish that digitally in public domain for future reference.

TARIQUE Zia'a Corruption: Tip of the iceberg !!!!
Much of what is wrong in Bangladesh can be blamed on Tarique and his cronies
 
 
 
SUBJECT: VISAS DONKEY CORRUPTION 212(F) (RAHMAN, TARIQUE)

REF: A. STATE 81854
B. 04 STATE 45499

Classified By: Ambassador James F. Moriarty for reasons 1.4(b) and (d)

1. (C) SUMMARY: The Embassy is seeking a security advisory
opinion under section 212(f) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act, Presidential Proclamation 7750, suspending
the entry into the United States of Tarique Rahman (aka
Tarique), born on November 20, 1967 in Bangladesh. The
Embassy believes Tarique is guilty of egregious political
corruption that has had a serious adverse effect on U.S.
national interests mentioned in Section 4 of the
proclamation, namely the stability of democratic institutions
and U.S. foreign assistance goals. The Embassy is not seeking
to apply a 212(f) finding to Tarique Rahaman's wife, Dr.
Zubaida Rahman, to their daughter, Zaima Rahman, or to his
mother Begum Khaleda Zia, a former Prime Minister of
Bangladesh. The following provides the information requested
in Ref A.

----------

BACKGROUND

----------

2. (C) Bangladesh is a developing nation in which systemic
corruption has permeated all aspects of public life. Through
2006, the nation topped Transparency International's ranking
of the world's most corrupt governments four years in a row.
The current Caretaker Government, which assumed power in
January 2007 after months of political unrest, pledged to
root out corruption and rid the nation of the kleptocratic
scourge that has so long plagued this poverty-stricken
nation. In fact, corruption has lowered Bangladesh's growth
rate by two percent per year, according to experts.

3. (C) While the Caretaker Government's efforts have met
with some success, the deep politicization of public
administration remains a persistent problem. Cynicism about
the Government's willingness or ability to hold corrupt
leaders accountable remains high. Concerns about corruption
continue to create a vacuum of trust that limits private
sector investment and undermines public confidence in a
democratic future.

--------------

TARIQUE RAHMAN

--------------

4. (C) Tarique Rahman, the notorious and widely feared son
of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, was released on bail
from prison on September 3. He departed Bangladesh to seek
medical treatment in the UK on September 11. Having served as
the Senior Joint Secretary General of the Bangladesh
Nationalist Party, Tarique is an extremely high profile
political figure. Notorious for flagrantly and frequently
demanding bribes in connection with government procurement
actions and appointments to political office, Tarique is a
symbol of kleptocratic government and violent politics in
Bangladesh. His release occurred despite multiple pending
cases against him on charges of, inter alia, corruption,
extortion, bribery, embezzlement and tax evasion. With deep
political ties that reach the highest court in the land,
Tarique managed to manipulate the judicial process and
overcome a concerted effort by the Caretaker Government to
block his bail. We believe Tarique has several passports,
including a new one in which the UK issued him a visa in
September. Another passport contains a five year
multiple-entry B1/B2 visa (issued May 11, 2005). We suspect
that passport is being held by the government.


5. (C) The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), a body
empowered by the current interim government to investigate,
charge, and prosecute high profile malefactors, has levelled
serious charges against Tarique. Tarique reportedly has
accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars in illicit
wealth. There are multiple extortion cases pending against
him, founded on the testimony of numerous prominent business
owners who he victimized and exploited. In one case, Tarique
allegedly threatened Al Amin Construction owner Amin Ahmed
with closure of the company unless he received a payment of
150,000 USD. Other local business leaders, including Mohammad
Aftab Uddin Khan of Reza Construction, Ltd, Mir Zahir Hossian
of Mir Akhter Hossain Ltd., and Harun Ferdousi have each
filed accusations detailing a systematic pattern of extortion
on a multi-million dollar scale. The ACC has also filed
charges of concealing ill-gotten wealth, and the National
Board of Revenue has brought tax evasion charges against
Tarique. (Note: The Bangladeshi legal system is a
testimony-based system and not an evidence-based system. It
is standard practice for testimonial records to be used as
the primary source of information for prosecutions. End Note)

6. (C) Tarique's corrupt activities were not limited to
extortion of local companies. The ACC has also uncovered
evidence in several bribery cases involving both foreign and
local firms and individuals:

A. Siemens: According to a witness who funneled bribes from
Siemens to Tarique and his brother Koko, Tarique received a
bribe of approximately two percent on all Siemens deals in
Bangladesh (paid in US dollars). This case is currently
being pursued by DOJ Asset Forfeiture (POC: Deputy Chief
Linda Samuels) and by the FBI (POC: Debra Laprevotte).

B. Harbin Company: ACC sources report that the Harbin
Company, a Chinese construction company, paid 750,000 USD to
Tarique to open a plant. According to the ACC, one of
Tarique's cronies received the bribe and transported it to
Singapore for deposit with Citibank.

C. Monem Construction: An ACC investigator advised Embassy
officials that Monem Construction paid a bribe worth 450,000
USD to Tarique to secure contracts.

D. Kabir Murder Case: The ACC has evidence that Tarique
accepted a 210 million taka (3.1 million USD) bribe to thwart
the prosecution of a murder case against Sanvir Sobhan.
Sanvir is the son of the chairman of the Bashundura Group,
one of the nation's most prominent industrial conglomerates.
Sanvir was accused in the killing of Humayun Kabir, a
Bashundura Group director. An investigation by the ACC
confirmed Tarique had solicited the payment, promising to
clear Sanvir of all charges.

7. (C) Beyond bribery and extortion, the ACC reports Tarique
also became involved in an elaborate and lucrative
embezzlement scheme. With the help of several accomplices,
Tarique succeeded in looting 20 million taka (300,000 USD)
from the Zia Orphanage Trust fund. According to an ACC
source, Tarique, who is a co-signer on the trust fund
account, used funds from the trust for a land purchase in his
hometown. He also provided signed checks drawn from the
orphanage fund accounts to BNP party members for their 2006
election campaigns.

8. (C) Tarique's corrupt practices have had deleterious
effects on the U.S. interests specified in the Proclamation.
His antics have weakened public confidence in government and
eroded the stability of democratic institutions. Tarique's
well-established reputation for flouting the rule of law
directly threatens U.S. financial assistance goals directed
toward reforming legal codes, strengthening good governance
and halting judicial abuses. The bribery, embezzlement, and
culture of corruption that Tarique has helped create and
maintain in Bangladesh has directly and irreparably
undermined U.S. businesses, resulting in many lost
opportunities. His theft of millions of dollars in public
money has undermined political stability in this moderate,
Muslim-majority nation and subverted U.S. attempts to foster
a stable democratic government, a key objective in this
strategically important region.

9. (C) Tarique's flagrant corruption has also seriously
threatened specific U.S. Mission goals. Embassy Dhaka has
three key priorities for Bangladesh: democratization,
development, and denial of space to terrorists. Tarique's
audaciously corrupt activities jeopardize all three. His
history of embezzlement, extortion, and interference in the
judicial process undermines the rule of law and threatens to
upend the U.S. goal of a stable, democratic Bangladesh. The
climate of corrupt business practices and bribe solicitation
that Tarique fostered derailed U.S. efforts to promote
economic development by discouraging much needed foreign
investment and complicating the international operations of
U.S. companies. Finally, his flagrant disregard for the rule
of law has provided potent ground for terrorists to gain a
foothold in Bangladesh while also exacerbating poverty and
weakening democratic institutions. In short, much of what is
wrong in Bangladesh can be blamed on Tarique and his cronies.


10. (C) Applying a 212(f) finding to Tarique Rahman supports
the US's strong stand against corruption in Bangladesh.
Embassy recommends that Tarique Rahman be found subject to
Presidential Proclamation 7750 for participating in public
official corruption as defined by Section 1, Paragraph (c) of
the Proclamation.

হ্যা
আমি কর্ণেল তাহের এর কথাই বলছি
যিনি জাসদ'র বিপ্লবী সৈনিক সংস্থা ও গণবাহিনীর নেতৃত্ব দিয়েছিলেন ।

হ্যাঁ
আমি কর্ণেল তাহের এর কথাই বলছি-
যিনি সিপাহি জনতার বিপ্লবে নেতৃত্ব দিয়েছিলেন ,
মুক্ত করেছিলেন জিয়াকে ।

হ্যাঁ
আমি কর্ণেল তাহের এর কথাই বলছি-
যাকে জিয়া বলেছিলেন 'ইউ আর মাই ব্রাদার ,ইউ আর মাই সেভার '।

হ্যাঁ
আমি কর্ণেল তাহের এর কথাই বলছি -
যিনি ছিলেন প্রথম মুক্তিযোদ্ধা সেনা অফিসার যাকে ফাঁসি দেয়া হয়েছিল ।

তারিখ ২১ শে জুলাই ১৯৭৬ , ভোর ৪টা ।

জীবন মৃত্যুর মুখে একেছো মোহর
পোষ্টম্যান ফেরী করে এখন তোমাকে;
তুমি আর ব্যক্তি নও , তুমি যে খবর
আমাদের প্রতিপক্ষ সে খবর রাখে ?

অলক্ষ্যে নিজের মৃত্যু যে পায়নি টের
সে জানে না বিপ্লবের পতাকা তাহের

-মুহম্মদ নূরুল হুদা

হ্যাঁ, বিপ্লবের পতাকাই যদি হোন স্বয়ং তাহের তবে, তাকে হত্যা করতে পারে কোন শালা ! নিঃসঙ্ক চিত্তের তাহের কি মরতে পারে ? নাকি কেউ পারে তাকে মারতে ? তাহের নিজেও এটা জানতেন আর তাই "সকালে দাড়ি কেটে, পছন্দের নীল শার্ট পরে, আম কেটে খেয়ে, নিজের রচিত বিপ্লবের কবিতা আবৃত্তি করে ফাঁসির মঞ্চে ওঠেন আর ফাঁসির রশি নিজ হাতে গলায় পরেন " ।

আর এভাবেই কাপুরুষেরা যখন নিজ গৃহকেই পৃথিবী ভেবে আত্মপ্রসাদ লাভ করেছিল তখন তাহের সারা পৃথিবীকেই তার আপন ঘর করে নিয়েছিলেন ।

আর এভাবেই বাঙালীর সংগ্রামী প্রেরণায় তিতুমির, ক্ষুদিরাম, সুর্যসেন, আসাদ, লে. ক. মোয়াজ্জেম , সিরাজ শিকদার প্রমুখের নামের পাশে কর্নেল আবু তাহের বীর উত্তম এর নামও যুক্ত হলো ।

হ্যাঁ যা বলছিলাম , এই সব বিপ্লবীদের শারীরিক হত্যাকান্ডে যারা উল্লাসিত হয়েছিল তাদের মত হাদারামরা বোঝেনি তাতে আসলে বেড়ে গেছে বিপ্লবেরই স্পর্ধা ।

একটু খেয়াল করে দেখুন তো, তিতুমির, ক্ষুদিরাম, সুর্যসেন, আসাদ, লে. ক. মোয়াজ্জেম , সিরাজ শিকদার , তাহের - আজও তাদের উপস্থিতি টের পান কিনা ? স্বৈরাচার বিরোধী আন্দোলনে-কানসাটে -ফুলবাড়ীতে-ভবদহে ।

অবশ্য, পরবর্তীতে তাহেরের সহযাত্রীদের -
কেউ হয়েছেন জিয়ার জাতীয়তাবাদী থিসিস প্রণেতা
কেউ জাসদ থেকে ইস্থফা দিয়ে বর্তমানে মার্কিন সাম্রাজ্যবাদের প্রধান সওদাগর
কেউ হয়েছেন এরশাদের সংসদের গৃহপালিত নেতা
কেউ হয়েছেন খালেদা সরকারের থিফ অফ বাগদাদ
আর অধিকাংশই পুজির নষ্ট সংগমের বেশ্যা ।

এখানেই জন্ম নেয় নি
রাশার বীজ
কিন্তু তারপরও আমি আশাবাদী কারণ
বিপ্লবের পতাকা তাহের ।

তাহের মরেনি
তাহেররা কখনো মরে না ।
আমার সাথে তাহেরের দেখা হয় কানসাটে -ফুলবাড়িতে- ভবদহে- নারায়ণগঞ্জে-সাভারে-শাহবাগে-পরিবাগে কিংবা অন্য কোথাও ।

Shahid Zia the declarer of our liberation war released by Sipahi Jonota on 7th November from the captivity of pro-Indian RAW paid
Deshadrohi  Khaled Musharraf to protect the nation. Angry Sipahi's eliminated all leaders of pro-Indian coup without any delay. That is a historical truth we can't change.
Our  future generation should remember the heroism of the Sipahi's who sided with the anti-Indians on 7th November. If needed Sipahi Jonota will rise again  for the greater interest of the people. We salute our brave soldiers/People of 7th November on this days.
Although pro-Indian control  Bangladesh now, that is not permanent anti-Indian nationalist force will be reinstalled to rule Bangladesh  by the people in coming days Inshallah, make no doubt it.

৭ ই নভেম্বর সিপাহী জনতার অভ্যূত্থান দিবস উপলক্ষে যুক্তরাষ্ট্র জাসদ জ্যাকসন হাইটসে এক আলোচনা সভার আয়োজন করে। আলোচনা সভায় বক্তারা বলেন, ১৯৭৫ সালের ৭ই নভেম্বর বাংলাদেশের চলমান রাজনৈতিক ও সেনাবাহনীর মধ্যে যে অস্থিরতা, বিশৃঙ্খলা, গণহত্যা চলছিল তা থেকে মুক্তিযুদ্ধের মাধ্যমে গড়ে উঠা সেনাবাহিনী ও দেশকে রক্ষার জন্য এগিয়ে আসেন যুদ্ধাহত বীর মুক্তিযোদ্ধা কর্ণেল আবু তাহের।

 তার নেতৃত্বে বিপ্লবী সৈনিক সংস্থা ৭ই নভেম্বর বিপ্লবের মাধ্যমে সেনাবাহিনী ও জনগণের মধ্যে আস্থা তৈরী করে হানাহানি, হত্যা বন্ধ করে সেনাবাহিনীর মধ্যে চেইন অব কমান্ড ফিরিয়ে এনে দেশে শান্তি শৃংখলা ফিরিয়ে আনতে সক্ষম হয়েছিলেন। তাহের যখন বিপ্লবের নেতৃত্ব দিচ্ছিলেন তখন বন্দি জিয়া খালেদা জিয়ার মাধ্যমে তাহেরের কাছে চিরকুট পাঠিয়ে প্রাণভিক্ষা চেয়েছিলেন। 


দেশপ্রেমিক তাহের মুক্তিযোদ্ধা হিসাবে জিয়াকে মুক্ত করে তাকে সেনাবাহিনীতে পূর্ণবহাল করেন। ক্ষমতা পেয়েই বিশ্বাস ঘাতক, পাকিস্তানীদের এজেন্ট জিয়া প্রথমেই মুক্তিদাতা তাহেরকে গ্রেফতার করেন। ক্ষমতালোভী বিবেকহীন  স্বদেশ বিরোধী কুকুর বহুরুপী জিয়া তার ক্ষমতা চিরস্থায়ী ও রাজাকারদের পুর্নবাসনের জন্য মুক্তিযোদ্ধাদের হত্যার নীল নক্সা হাতে নেন। ৭ই নভেম্বরের চেতনার সাথে বেঈমানী করে জিয়া শুধু তাহের কে হত্যা করেই থেমে থাকেন নি। পাকিস্তানের দালাল খুনি জিয়া বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা সার্বভৌমত্ব ধ্বংস করার জন্য মুক্তিযুদ্ধের মাধ্যমে গড়ে উঠা সেনাবাহিনীর মুক্তিযোদ্ধা হাজার হাজার সেনা অফিসার ও সদস্যকে বিনা বিচারে হত্যা করেন। হিটলারের অনুসারী জেনারেল জিয়া সেনা অফিসার ও সদস্যদের হত্যা করে তাদের লাশও পরিবারের কাছে হস্তান্তর করে নি। এমনকি হত্যার নথি পর্যন্ত নষ্ট করে ফেলে যাতে ভবিষ্যতে তার এই কুকর্মের কোন স্বাক্ষী না থাকে। এ সমস্ত নৃসংশ ঘটনার কিছু তথ্য পাওয়া যায় তৎকালীন এ্যমনেস্টি ইন্টারন্যাশনালের প্রতিবেদনে। যদিও এ সব প্রতিবেদন ঐ সমস্ত ঘটনার আংশিক চিত্র মাত্র। ১৯৭৭ সালের ডিসেম্বরে এ্যামনেস্টি ইন্টারন্যাশনালের মহাসচিব মার্টিন ইনালম বিশেষ সফরে ঢাকা আসেন এবং১৯৭৮ সালের ১৯ জানুয়ারী এক তারবার্তায় অ্যামনেস্টির মহাসচিব গভীর উদ্বেগ প্রকাশ করে অভিযোগ করেন যে, ২ অক্টোবরের পর থেকে শত শত সেনা সদস্যদের মৃত্যুদন্ড কার্যকর করা হয়েছে। এবং এখনো মৃত্যুদন্ড কার্যকর করা অব্যাহত আছে।

১৯৭৮ সালের ৫ মার্চ লন্ডনের দ্য সানডে টাইমস এর প্রতিবেদনে বলাহয় গত অক্টোবরের ৬০০ সেনা সদস্যের মৃত্যুদুন্ড কার্যকর করা হয়েছে। বিমান বাহিনীর সাবেক এক জৈষ্ঠ কর্মকর্তা দ্যা সানডে টাইমসকে বলেছেন ৩০ সেপ্টেম্বর বগুড়ার সামরিক ট্রাইবুনালে অসংখ্য সেনা সদস্যকে মৃত্যুদন্ড দেয়া ও কার্যকর করা হয়। সেনা সদস্যদের হত্যার পদ্ধতিও ছিল অত্যন্ত নিষ্ঠুর। সেনা সদস্যদের বলা হতো তাদের মুক্তির নির্দেশ এসেছে। জেলগুলিতে তখন আনন্দের পরিবেশ তৈরী হয়। জোয়ানরা তাদের মালামাল জড়ো করে, তাদের নিয়ে যাওয়া হয় জেলের সামনের গেটে। জানা যায় সেখানে একজন সেনা কর্মকর্তা বিশেষ বাহিনীর সদস্যরা তাদের বাধাদেন এবং হঠাৎ সেখানে তাদের মৃত্যুদন্ডের রায় পড়ে শুনানো হয়। রায় শুনে জোয়ানেরা পাগলের মতো কান্নায় ভেঁঙ্গে পড়ে কান্নার রোলের মধ্যে জোয়ানদের নিয়ে যাওয়া হয়ে থাকে আর একেক দফায় ১৭/১৮ জনকে ফাঁসিতে ঝুঁলিয়ে দেওয়া হয়ে থাকে। সংখ্যায় বেশী হলে ফায়ারিং স্কোয়াডের মাধ্যমে গুলি করে হত্যা করা হয়। ফায়ারিং স্কোয়াডে গুলি করার নির্দেশ দেওয়ার পর গুলি না করায় কয়েকজনকে গ্রেপ্তারও করা হয়েছিলো। এসবের কোন কিছুই এমন কোন সংবাদপত্র ছাপার সাহস করেনি। এই ছিলো দেশপ্রেমিক বহুদলীয় গণতন্ত্রও সংবাদপত্রের স্বাধীনতায় বিশ্বাসী ঠান্ডামাথার খুনি জিয়ার দেশ শাসনের নমুনা। কিন্তু ইতিহাসের নির্মম পরিহাস এ ঘটনায় ৩৫ বছর পর বাংলাদেশের সুপ্রিমকোর্টে ঘোষণা করেছে তাহের ও তার সহযোগিদের বিচার ছিল একটি ধাপপাবাজি, অবৈধ, স্বেচ্ছারি, জোচ্চুরি ও প্রহসন। এমন প্রহসনমূলক বিচার এ দেশে কখনোই ঘটেনি। আদালত তাহেরকে শহীদ ও দেশপ্রেমিক হিসেবে বণর্না করেছেন। আরও বলেছেন আজ যদি জেনারেল জিয়াউর রহমান বেঁচে থাকতেন, তাহলে তাহেরের মৃত্যুর জন্য তাকে হত্যাকান্ডের বিচারের সম্মুখীন হতে। আদালত আরও ঘোষণা করেছেন কর্ণেল আবু তাহের তথাকথিত বিচারও মৃত্যুদন্ড কার্যকর করার ঘটনাটি ঠান্ডা মাথায় হত্যা এবং এর পরিকল্পনাকারী জেনারেল জিয়াউর রহমান। 


তাহেরের সহযোদ্ধা মেজর জলিল, আ স ম আব্দুর রব, হাসানুল হক ইনু, সিরাজুল আলম খান, মার্শাল মনি সহ জাসদ নেতাদেরও ষড়যন্ত্রমূলক মামলায় বিভিন্ন মেয়াদে সাজা দেয় তৎকালীন স্বৈরাচারী জিয়া সরকার। উচ্চ আদালত এসব মামলা বাতিলের পাশাপাশি ক্ষতিগ্রস্থ ঐসব মামলার সকল ব্যাক্তি ও পরিবারকে ক্ষতিপূরণ দেওয়ার নির্দেশ দেয়। কিন্তু বর্তমান সরকার আজ পর্যন্ত কোন ক্ষতিপূরণ দিয়েছে বলে জানা যায়নি। জাসদ নেতৃবৃন্দ এই সভা থেকে আদালতের রায়ের প্রতি শ্রদ্ধা জানিয়ে ঐ মামলার সকলকে ক্ষতিপূরণ প্রদানের জন্য সরকারকে আহ্বান জানাচ্ছে। জাসদ নেতা রেজাউল করিমের সভাপতিত্বে ও জাসদ সাধারণ সম্পাদক হাজী মোঃ আনোয়ার হোসেন লিটনের পরিচালনায় এ অনুষ্ঠানে বক্তব্য রাখেন যুক্তরাষ্ট্র জাসদের সাবেক সভাপতি মাসুম মোঃ মোহসীন, প্রবীণ সাংবাদিক জয়নাল আবেদীন, তসলিম উদ্দিন, শামসুদ্দীন আহমেদ শামীম, লাবলু সরকার, শরীফ উদ্দিন শরীফ, হারুনের রশীদ, এম, এ মালেক কাজী আযম বাদল প্রমূখ।
