Re: [ALOCHONA] War crimes_who freed_197 war criminals and 193000 Pak Soldiers

Mr. Mirza:
 
Thanks for your post on the Simla Agreement. However, I believe that you are mistaken on a crucial matter. Return of the war criminals and POWs has EVERYTHING to do with the Geneva Convention. The Geneva Convention was founded upon the principles that prisoners of wars must be "treated" with dignity, and that "treatment" also implies repatriation of POWs and non-combat forces (e.g. medical and religious personnel).
 
The Simla Agreement is founded upon the peace treaty signed by General Aurora and Niazi on December 16, 2008, which states, and if I may quote, "[General Aurora] gives a solemn assurance that personnel who surrender shall be treated with dignity and respect that soldiers are entitled to in accordance with provisions of the GENEVA CONVENTION and guarantees the safety and well-being of all Pakistan military and para-military forces who surrender." (emphasis added)
 
After the war was over, the 93,000 POWs and before any further treaty could be signed between India and Pakistan, POWs had to be released per the 1949 Geneva Convention (Article 110, Paragraph 1), which states that "repatriation must take place without any intermediate stage of accommodation in a neutral country. Moreover, it will take place before the end of the hostilities; seriously sick and wounded prisoners of war must be afforded special conditions for speedy transport, or priority over any other convoys which may be organized by the Detaining Power pursuant to an agreement with the Power on which prisoners of war depend." Repatriation of POWs is also mentioned in the 1949 Geneva Convention in Article 117- Part Four, Article 118, Article 119, and not to mention, Article 1: Principles of Direct Repatriation and Accommodation in Neutral Countries. India and Pakistan "ended hostility" through the Simla Agreement. The Pakistani POWs were being released prior to the Simla Agreement, but the remaining POWs as well as the war criminals were released immediately afterwards.
 
Hope this helps.

The following two agreements brought back 93,000 Pakistani soldiers (that include 195 identified war criminals) to Pakistan. Upon their return all of them ordered retired.
Return of the war criminals has nothing to do with the Geneva Convention.
 

Simla Agreement

July 2, 1972

The Simla Agreement signed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto of Pakistan on 2nd July 1972 was much more than a peace treaty seeking to reverse the consequences of the 1971 war (i.e. to bring about withdrawals of troops and an exchange of PoWs).  It was a comprehensive blue print for good neighbourly relations between India and Pakistan. Under the Simla Agreement both countries undertook to abjure conflict and confrontation which had marred relations in the past, and to work towards the establishment of durable peace, friendship and cooperation.

The Simla Agreement contains a set of guiding principles, mutually agreed to by India and Pakistan, which both sides would adhere to while managing relations with each other.  These emphasize: respect for each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty; non-interference in each other's internal affairs; respect for each others unity, political independence; sovereign equality; and abjuring hostile propaganda.  The following principles of the Agreement are, however, particularly noteworthy:

• A mutual commitment to the peaceful resolution of all issues through direct bilateral approaches.
• To build the foundations of a cooperative relationship with special focus on people to people contacts.
• To uphold the inviolability of the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, which is a most important CBM between India and Pakistan, and a key to durable peace.

India has faithfully observed the Simla Agreement in the conduct of its relations with Pakistan.

SIMLA  AGREEMENT

Agreement on Bilateral Relations Between The Government of India and The Government of Pakistan

1. The Government of India and the Government of Pakistan are resolved that the two countries put an end to the conflict and confrontation that have hitherto marred their relations and work for the promotion of a friendly and harmonious relationship and the establishment of durable peace in the sub-continent, so that both countries may henceforth devote their resources and energies to the pressing talk of advancing the welfare of their peoples.

(i) That the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations shall govern the relations between the two countries;

(ii) That the two countries are resolved to settle their differences by peaceful means through bilateral negotiations or by any other peaceful means mutually agreed upon between them.  Pending the final settlement of any of the problems between the two countries, neither side shall unilaterally alter the situation and both shall prevent the organization, assistance or encouragement of any acts detrimental to the maintenance of peaceful and harmonious relations;

3. In order progressively to restore and normalize relations between the two countries step by step, it was agreed that;

(i) Steps shall be taken to resume communications, postal, telegraphic, sea, land including border posts, and air links including overflights.

(ii) Appropriate steps shall be taken to promote travel facilities for the nationals of the other country.

(iii) Trade and co-operation in economic and other agreed fields will be resumed as far as possible.

(iv) Exchange in the fields of science and culture will be promoted.

In this connection delegations from the two countires will meet from time to time to work out the necessary details.

4. In order to initiate the process of the establishment of durable peace, both the Governments agree that:

(i) Indian and Pakistani forces shall be withdrawn to their side of the international border.

(ii) In Jammu and Kashmir, the line of control resulting from the cease-fire of December 17, 1971 shall be respected by both sides without prejudice to the recognized position of either side.  Neither side shall seek to alter it unilaterally, irrespective of mutual differences and legal interpretations.  Both sides further undertake to refrain from the threat or the use of force in violation of this Line.

(iii) The withdrawals shall commence upon entry into force of this Agreement and shall be completed within a period of 30 days thereof.

5. This Agreement will be subject to ratification by both countries in accordance with their respective constitutional procedures, and will come into force with effect from the date on which the Instruments of Ratification are exchanged.
6. Both Governments agree that their respective Heads will meet again at a mutually convenient time in the future and that, in the meanwhile, the representatives of the two sides will meet to discuss further the modalities and arrangements for the establishment of durable peace and normalization of relations, including the questions of repatriation of prisoners of war and civilian internees, a final settlement of Jammu and Kashmir and the resumption of diplomatic relations.

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?

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.

Dial 2324 from your mobile for latest news  
Dhaka, Mar 30 (bdnews24.com) - At least six students were injured in a clash between two BCL factions of Dhaka University's Shamsunnahar Hall just after midnight Monday, over control of the hall, said residents.

Dhaka University's proctor Saiful Islam Khan told bdnews24.com at around 1:15am that university authorities were yet to confirm how the clash was sparked.

"We don't know who brought the hockey sticks into the hall," he said.

Asked about the number of injured, he said, "It appears to me that one or two students may be taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital."

The clash broke out at around 12:15am, as two factions of Chhatra League came at each other with hockey sticks, said the hall's residents.

The hall's BCL unit organising secretary Sharna alleged: "A rival faction led by the hall's BCL unit general secretary attacked us."

She said seven or eight students as well as a house tutor were injured. "They used hockey sticks to attack us."

None of the other group, however, was available for comment.

[mukto-mona] Freedom fighter Badol Akond died in NY protesting religious extremist

and untimely demise of freedom fighter Badal Akaond, President of Sheikh Hasian Moncho is not just heartbreaking but generate rage and made the pro liberation forces determined to bring the war criminals to justice and to wipe out the terrorism and extremism in the name of religion.
 
Islamic Thinkers Society an outfit of extremist Islamist right wing group which spreads hatred among human being and commits injudicious irresponsible out of context translation of holly Quran to instigate Muslims to poison their mind is responsible for this death.
 
Be aware of this un-Islamic anti Muslim, Anti Allah, Anti humanity terrorist organization called Islamic Thinkers Society. This is group is comparable to extremist Hijbut Tahrir of Bangladesh which tries to brainwash youths of our society.
 
Please visit http://khabor.com/news/prabash/prabasher_news_03312009_0000001.htm for detail about Badol Akand and the tragic incident.
 
Badol Akondh will remain among us as inspiration to fight against the fundamentalist terrorist forces in Bangladesh . Let the grief turn into inspiration to carryout the fight against religious extremism and anti liberation forces in Bangladesh and elsewhere in the world.
 
Please pray for the departed soul, May Allah bless his soul, forgive him for his sin and place him in Jannah. May almighty give patience and peace upon his bereaved family.

In The Name Of Investigation Political Harasment

 

Newspapers have reported that ASP Abdul Kahhar Akanda  of CID  has summoned Barrister Abdur Razzaq to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID)  in connection with Peelkhana  mutiny ."We have found some information from various sources on his (Razzaq's) involvement in Pilkhana carnage and therefore, we need to question him to verify the information," Investigation Officer (IO) of the case Abdul Kahar Akond told The Daily Star last night. He however refused to say anything to substantiate the CID claim. Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Kahar asked Razzaq to appear with his passport at CID's Malibagh headquarters at 10:00am today for an exclusive grilling on the carnage.

Meanwhile, Barrister Abdur Razzaq , the Assistant Secretary General of  Jamaate Islami on Sunday  filed two separate petitions seeking bail in this case and challenging legitimacy of the notice soon after the CID summoned him. The HC yesterday granted him anticipatory bail until April 5 in connection with the case and directed the government not to harass or arrest him during this period. Meanwhile, following Razzaq's petition, a vacation HC bench of Justice Shahidul Islam directed the government to consider him as a witness, not an accused, in the case during the interrogation, and to return his passport after examining it. Advocate Tajul Islam, one of Razzaq's lawyers, told The Daily Star that Razzaq would show up at the CID office at 10:00am the today, as the HC did not stay the CID interrogation notice. Razzaq stated in the bail petition that rumours about his involvement in the mutiny had been raised to harass him. During the hearing of the petitions, Razzaq's lawyer Ajmalul Hossain argued before the court that his client had no association with the Pilkhana carnage.The notice issued for interrogation was to serve political intentions to harass Razzaq. He, like all the other countrymen, is also concerned about the present situation of the country, he said. He also said the person who has no involvement in any case should not be interrogated.Earlier on March 19, immigration police of Zia International Airport (ZIA) filed a criminal case with the Airport Police Station against Abdur Razzaq and his wife Saleha Razzaq Siddiq on charges of obstructing the airport authorities to discharge their duties in the early hours that day.Abdur Razzaq the same day filed a contempt petition with the HC against the government for preventing him from going to Malaysia and Singapore despite having an HC order allowing him to visit the countries. The HC upon separate petitions then granted them bail and stayed the proceedings of the obstruction case against them.

We are deeply worried how the  government is politicising the Peelkhana mutiny and also how such a senior lawyer of clean record is being harassed.First he and his wife ( who requires treatment  abroad ) was not allowed to leave the country by the immigration police without any cause .Then Barrister Abdur  Razzaq obtained a court order for allowing him to go abroad with his wife  but the  immigration police again stopped her though he produced the court order  to them. .In that context he filed a case of contempt of court against some government officials and the police.The government instead of seeing good reason has acted apparently malevolently. The government filed a criminal case against him for forcing his way to boarding bridge , a sheer impossibilty to go there without immigration clearance in the passport. Now this CID notice from the bolt .The CID could not also explain the specific reason on being questioned by a newsman.We are sorry for Barrister, for Bangladesh and sorry for our political culture.We do not see any glimmer of hope.Political and official culture has seriously deteriorated in the last two months.If a party with such majoriy rules in such a manner, who can deliver us.We have no doubt that Barrister Abdur Razzaq will be vindicated and falsehood will fail in its objective.

Re: [mukto-mona] RE: [Chetona71] Shuchinta Library

We all know Zia read out that announcement. That's a historical fact. No one could deny it. Now, did that announcement, by itself, bring independence of Bangladesh? The answer is NO. One time announcement was undoubtedly inspirational, and Zia should get credit for that. But, it is loosing the well deserved credit because BNP made it a political capital. Forefathers of a country should not be exploited by the political parties. So, if you respect Zia and his announcement, just leave it alone. It's a historical fact. Let it be a historical fact. Try not to squeeze it to extract political juice.

Hi Arafat,

 

Read the attached article if you haven't come across it yet.  My father, Engr. Mosharraf was there with Zia at Kalurghat Station when he made the announcement.  Part of the story is written in this article.  This is first-hand information.  You can also keep this in Shuchinta Library.

Raihan,

 

Thanks for writing the email to the VB authority. Also, can we not store Saleem Bhai's article in our Shuchinta Library??? I think the article is full of valuable information that can be used for future reference.

 

There was an excellent talk show in RTV on 'Road to Democracy'. One of the main organizers and the first hand witness of the Zia's announcement of the declaration of independence by Bongobondhu Mr. Belal Mohammad were present along with Mir Shawkat Ali. 

 

In that talk show Mr. Belal Mohammad clearly explained when and how Zia's announcement was made. Who else were in to the announcement also came in his discussion.

 

He clearly mentioned that we are confusing ourselves between the declaration of independence and the radio announcement. Mir Shawkat Ali also consented with his opinion.

 

I am trying to collect a copy of the program and will send it to you. We should store this program also in our Shuchinta Library.

 

Another talk show in Baishakhi anchored by Shaneen Bhai [Shaheen Reza Noor] with Belal Mohammad where also he clearly explained the true history of the announcement/ announcements made in Shadhin Bangla Betar Kendro. I am trying to collect that as well and send it to you.

Re: [mukto-mona] Re: FW: In The Name Of Investigation Political Harasment

I see some sort of frustration in Mr. Munshi's write-up. I would request him not to lose hope. There are many agencies (both national and foreign) working hard to find the real culprits and the masterminds for the barbaric incidence that took place in the BDR Headquarter. Mr. Razzak's interrogation as reported in the Daily Shamokal is noteworthy. Please read about his phone calls and contacts with BDR soldiers: http://www.shamokal.com/details.php?nid=107500 .
 
I would like to see anyone get punishment to the fullest no matter which party (Awami League or BNP or Jamaat-I-Islami or any other party) he belongs to. I would request all not to be confused by the politically biased individuals.

The process of political victimization and repression that I predicted in early 2008 (when I argued that the AL would win the December elections and also with a two-thirds majority) has now begun. It is unlikely that the real culprits of the Pilkhana massacre will be apprehended at least during this government. I am not hopeful about the prospects of the AL government lasting its full 5 year term. We should, however, not be guided by dogma or doctrinare assumptions at this point. I had warned Barrister Abdur Razzak that when the AL comes to power they will finish the work that they left unfinished in 1975. The AL is proceeding according to that agenda. Unfortunately the political opposition is in disarray and in no poistion to counter this predicament which is largely of its own making. Due to their past political mistakes and misdeeds Khaleda Zia and the Jamaat leadership is unlikley to gain much public support at this juncture. For the time being the political situation looks hopeless unless a new political dimension emerges. I presently do not see the BNP or the Jamaat providing that political wisdom that will inspire the nation.

In The Name Of Investigation Political Harasment

 
Newspapers have reported that ASP Abdul Kahhar Akanda  of CID  has summoned Barrister Abdur Razzaq to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID)  in connection with Peelkhana  mutiny ."We have found some information from various sources on his (Razzaq's) involvement in Pilkhana carnage and therefore, we need to question him to verify the information," Investigation Officer (IO) of the case Abdul Kahar Akond told The Daily Star last night. He however refused to say anything to substantiate the CID claim. Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Kahar asked Razzaq to appear with his passport at CID's Malibagh headquarters at 10:00am today for an exclusive grilling on the carnage.
Meanwhile, Barrister Abdur Razzaq , the Assistant Secretary General of  Jamaate Islami on Sunday  filed two separate petitions seeking bail in this case and challenging legitimacy of the notice soon after the CID summoned him. The HC yesterday granted him anticipatory bail until April 5 in connection with the case and directed the government not to harass or arrest him during this period. Meanwhile, following Razzaq's petition, a vacation HC bench of Justice Shahidul Islam directed the government to consider him as a witness, not an accused, in the case during the interrogation, and to return his passport after examining it. Advocate Tajul Islam, one of Razzaq's lawyers, told The Daily Star that Razzaq would show up at the CID office at 10:00am the today, as the HC did not stay the CID interrogation notice. Razzaq stated in the bail petition that rumours about his involvement in the mutiny had been raised to harass him. During the hearing of the petitions, Razzaq's lawyer Ajmalul Hossain argued before the court that his client had no association with the Pilkhana carnage.The notice issued for interrogation was to serve political intentions to harass Razzaq. He, like all the other countrymen, is also concerned about the present situation of the country, he said. He also said the person who has no involvement in any case should not be interrogated. Earlier on March 19, immigration police of Zia International Airport (ZIA) filed a criminal case with the Airport Police Station against Abdur Razzaq and his wife Saleha Razzaq Siddiq on charges of obstructing the airport authorities to discharge their duties in the early hours that day.Abdur Razzaq the same day filed a contempt petition with the HC against the government for preventing him from going to Malaysia and Singapore despite having an HC order allowing him to visit the countries. The HC upon separate petitions then granted them bail and stayed the proceedings of the obstruction case against them.
We are deeply worried how the  government is politicising the Peelkhana mutiny and also how such a senior lawyer of clean record is being harassed.First he and his wife ( who requires treatment  abroad ) was not allowed to leave the country by the immigration police without any cause .Then Barrister Abdur  Razzaq obtained a court order for allowing him to go abroad with his wife  but the  immigration police again stopped her though he produced the court order  to them. .In that context he filed a case of contempt of court against some government officials and the police.The government instead of seeing good reason has acted apparently malevolently. The government filed a criminal case against him for forcing his way to boarding bridge , a sheer impossibilty to go there without immigration clearance in the passport. Now this CID notice from the bolt .The CID could not also explain the specific reason on being questioned by a newsman.We are sorry for Barrister, for Bangladesh and sorry for our political culture.We do not see any glimmer of hope.Political and official culture has seriously deteriorated in the last two months.If a party with such majoriy rules in such a manner, who can deliver us.We have no doubt that Barrister Abdur Razzaq will be vindicated and falsehood will fail in its objective.

[ALOCHONA] Ershad Cleared of 1982 Powergrab: Another Surprise from the Mohajot

After the Pilkhana Massacre, one more surprise from the BAL government? What else is waiting for us?

Ershad cleared of 1982 'powergrab'
 
 
Mon, Mar 30th, 2009 10:55 pm BdST
 
Dhaka Mar 30 (bdnews24.com)—Nineteen years after Gen H M Ershad was sued for usurping state power, the former military dictator was cleared of charges Monday.

A court accepted the 'final' report from CID SP, Mansur Ali Mandol, that acquitted the former former army chief-turned-president of the charges brought by JSD leader Hasanul Huq Inu.

Inu, now an MP as part of the same AL-led electoral alliance as Ershad's Jatiya Party, sued the former general for his Mar 24, 1982 takeover of state power, suspension of the constitution and declaration of martial law in Bangladesh.

Inu also alleged in his case statement—filed on Dec 12, 1990, days after the dictator was deposed in a mass upsurge on Dec 6—that the general also organised farcical elections in 1984 and 1988 and had the results declared in his favour.

Inu alleged Ershad, then chief of army staff and a three-star general, had forced then the elected president Abdus Sattar to sign a letter of resignation.

The CID final report was submitted to a Dhaka Metropolitan magistrate's court on Jan 30. Inu was asked to appear in the court on Monday to respond to the police report but did not.

The court accepted the report and cleared Ershad.

The report said there was no "documented evidence" available to substantiate the charges.

Ershad declared himself chief martial law administrator and appointed a former Supreme Court judge, Ahsanuddin Chowdhury, president.

Later in 1983, through a martial law order, he handed himself the presidency and ruled Bangladesh for nearly nine years.

The seventh amendment to the constitution gave legitimacy to all his actions as CMLA, but questions remained about the moral legitimacy of his role as head of state or government.

Both the major political parties in Bangladesh-- AL and BNP--waged a campaign together almost throughout his reign to oust the general. In the post-1990 politics, both parties have also sought to win him as ally.

In 2006, Ershad almost joined a BNP-led alliance but backed out later to be part of an AL-led combine that was to fight the scrapped elections in early 2007.

Two years and an emergency government later, the deposed president's party, in partnership with the Awami League, won 29 seats, including his own three.

The Jatiya Party now shares state power with the ruling AL.
