[chottala.com] Bangladesh ICT: Abuse & Violation of Constitution, Law, Due Process, Justice & Human Rights; Conspiracy & Travesty of Justice; Retrial Debate (Links to all sources)



Initiated by The Economist, the global media have now kindly exposed the myth behind the so called free, fair, just, transparent, international standard & not politically motivated trial as shamelessly claimed by the government and all its political and ideological agencies, allies and cohorts. Otherwise, we would have remained in darkness and the nation would have been seriously affected by the ill-political design of the current fascist cheating government. We respectfully urge the global media and human rights organizations to thoroughly investigate and reveal the whole episode as they unearth the truth. We also believe that all those who are involved in the criminal conspiracies and abuse of legal & judicial process for their ill-motif political agenda to exterminate the opposition should be brought to justice immediately. As these farcical Tribunals' abuse of law, power, due process, their violation of constitutional obligations, defying human rights and their blatant criminal conduct triggering miscarriage of justice have been exposed to the world community whereby they have lost trust, confidence, professional integrity and legitimacy, they should be immediately dissolved, their proceedings should be immediately declared null and void and the perpetrators brought to justice. We strongly demand formation of an International Tribunal under the auspices and scrutiny of a competent international organization like the United Nations where the entire process should resume ab initio for the trial of the heinous war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during our glorious war of independence in 1971. The trial should be conducted following the precedents of other international war crimes tribunals under and in accordance with the well-established and recognized international law relating to war crimes and crimes against humanity.
 
RETRIAL under INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL demanded:
The current Tribunals should be dissolved, all so far conducted proceedings null and void; All trials should be resumed ab initio under a newly constituted International Tribunal:
