Here goes an excerpt from the Daily Star:
Daily Star, September 25, 2008 writes:
"Sundari Dasi was only months old at that time, when people found her suckling from her dead mother's breast. Her mother was brutally raped by the Pakistani military and their Bengali collaborators during the Liberation War. This incident stirred the village Chuknagar of Khulna district, where one of the large-scale genocides of 1971 occurred. Now in her late 30s, Sundari Dasi wants the trial of the war criminals. Lutfar Rahman was a school student when some influential people of this village forced him to join the 'Razaka Bahini'--to benefit from the political situation and secure "a blissful afterlife," as the put it. He went into training and was part of several crimes against humanity. Rahman was punished with a year of imprisonment after independence. He knows what the 'Razakar Bahini' did at that time and says, "I was almost a child then and even I was punished, then why should the other war criminals go unpunished?" The above two cases are featured in Juddhaporadh 71, a documentary by renowned litterateur and working President of 'Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee' Shahriar Kabir. The documentary takes on the task of defining what 'war crimes' mean and the dreadful acts against humanity that the war criminals committing during 1971. Through the eyes of three your who set out to search for the truth, the documentary works on a vast canvas—including facts, interviews with eminent personalities and war victims, rare footage, documents and more."
