Subject: Shesh hoiyao hoilo na shesh-- The true state of the DU cases, January 21, 2007
Dear All,
I can only say that the headlines you saw on television are not fully correct. Most headlines have stated that cases have been called off. That is not fully true.
A total of 5 cases were filed against teachers and students in relation to the Dhaka University incident in August 2007.
*** Case No. 1: The verdict of the 1st case was given today. 4 teachers and 11 students were acquitted. 4 students were sentenced to 2 years imprisonment. This was soon followed by a Presidential pardon under Article 59 of our Constitution.
*** Case No. 2: The verdict of the 2nd case is due tomorrow.
*** Case No. 3: The 3rd case was filed in relation to hostilities and destruction within the Dhaka University campus. This case has been called off.
*** Case No. 4: The 4th case was filed in relation to hostilities and destruction outside the Dhaka University campus at Shahbagh. The Government has declared that the FR (Final Report) of this case will soon be submitted, implying an end to this case as well.
*** Case No. 5: The 5th case was filed in relation to the destruction of a DGFI vehicle and the assaulting of an Army personnel. This case was filed against 25 students. The Government has agreed to remove the names of 18 of these students from the charge sheet. This means that this case WILL continue against the 7 remaining students.
Thus, I would say, especially with regard to the students, the issue has not been put to rest.
The saying, 'shesh hoiyao hoilo na shesh' is thoroughly applicable.
Bye for now.
Best,
Sanjeeb
