RE: [ALOCHONA] Pardon AL style

real exciting news!!

Presidential pardon for Shahadab is abuse of power, say citizens  Khadimul Islam People of different professions and eminent citizens of the country termed the reported waiving of the sentence of 18 years' imprisonment of an absconder convicted in four corruption cases as naked abuse of power and contradiction of the government's commitment to curb corruption.    According to reliable reports President Zillur Rahman has waived the sentence of 18 years of imprisonment and financial penalties amounting to about Tk 1.6 crore against Shahadab Akbar, son of deputy leader of the Parliament Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury, who is also a presidium member of the Awami League and an intimate of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.    Shahadab was convicted and sentenced in four corruption cases under different Sections of the Anti-Corruption Commission Act in 2008 during the interim government's rule. He was sentenced when he was absconding and he is still a fugitive.    Citizens alleged that the President had 'abused' power and was guilty of 'political nepotism' as Sajeda is very close to him.    Eminent citizens said it was a decision made purely on political considerations. http://www.newagebd.com/2009/nov/14/front.html#6
