Human chains in 17 cities worldwide for trial of war criminals
Human chains were formed in 17 cities across the globe on Saturday demanding trial of war criminals in Bangladesh through formation of an international tribunal.
Federation of Organisations Against Bangladesh War Criminals, a US-based organisation, organised the programme, reported News World.
Freedom fighter Dr Nurunnabi, convener of the organisation, told news agency Ana that human chains were formed simultaneously in Britain, Australia, Austria, Canada, Italy, New Zealand, Paris, Tokyo, Washington DC, Florida, California, Boston, Atlanta, Toronto and Montreal.
The participants demanded arrest of the war criminals and a ban on religion-based political parties. They also urged people to boycott the companies and NGOs run by the war criminals.
The main programme was held at Athens Park in New York where the progress of the mass signature collection campaign was discussed.
A memorandum with the signatures will be presented to the UN general secretary, UN Human Rights Commission, Amnesty International, US Congress, State Department, European Union, European Commission, Canadian Parliament and other international bodies.
Syed Muhammadullah, another convenor of the organisation, read out a written paper to press their eight-point demand.
Writer Belal Beg, Awami League US chapter Adviser Dr Siddikur Rahman, Publicity Secretary Hakikul Islam Khokon, Oikya Parishad President Ratan Barua and US Bangabandhu Parishad General Secretary Shitangshu Guha, among others, were present.
