One thing we have plenty of in Bangladesh, Human Rights Advocates and Activists! It's a good thing I suppose. But I digress...
Mr. Sadik:
Would you kindly indulge us on how or from whom you "heard" that interesting theory? Not sure what new theory you are trying to imply here, but let's get some facts here. There were 93,000 (not 1,93,000) Paki POWs after Niazi and Aurora signed the treaty on Dec 16, 1971. Some of them were still in Indian captivity until 1973. The surrender document also states that both Bangladesh and India would treat Paki POWs according to the Geneva Convention, and the release of the prisoners was part of the Protocol 3 of the Geneva Convention.
Hope this helps?

Subject: [ALOCHONA] War crimes_who freed_197 war criminals and 193000 Pak Soldiers
| Dear friends,
It is heard that Sheikh Mujibur Rahaman with the help of Dr. Kamal Hossain and associates have done everything to free 195 proven war criminals including 1,93,000 Pakistani soldiers most of them directly had killed the freedom fighters and Bengalis.
Is it true? Please let us know more documents & information if you have any.
Thank you,
