[ALOCHONA] What the government is up to? : Changes of Bangladesh Constitution -Part 1

What the government is up to? : Changes of Bangladesh Constitution -Part 1

By Dr. K. M. A. Malik , UK

There have been ongoing controversies and debates on some aspects of the current Bangladesh Constitution, especially since the BAL government came to power in January 2009. No specific and written proposal has yet been published by the government; so we are still in the dark about what Amendments (if any) are intended. The following discussions, therefore, are mainly academic and based on various comments made by the ruling party leaders on different occasions. The purpose is to enlighten the general public to Constitutional issues and stimulate constructive debates on a very serious national issue.

Before going into any discussion, it is perhaps necessary to give a short account of the Amendments made to Bangladesh Constitution since its adoption after in 1972. The Fourteen Amendments made so far are as follows.

First Amendment: In 1973, the Constitution (First Amendment) Act 1973 was passed inserting sub-art (3) in Article 47 whereby any law providing for the detention and trial of war criminals was kept out of the purview of the provision of Part III relating to fundamental rights.

Second Amendment: The original Constitution did not have any provision for proclamation of state of emergency and preventive detention. By the Constitution (Second Amendment) Act 1973, Article 33 was amended providing for preventive detention and Part IXA was inserted conferring power on Parliament and the Executive to deal with emergency situations and providing for suspension of enforcement of the fundamental rights during the period of emergency.

Third Amendment: The Constitution (Third Amendment) Act 1974 was passed to give effect to the agreement with India giving up the claim in respect of Berubari and retaining Dahagram and Angorpota.

Fourth Amendment: The Constitution (Fourth Amendment) Act 1975 made major changes into the Constitution. The presidential form of government was introduced in place of the parliamentary system; a one-party system in place of a multi-party system was introduced; the powers of the Parliament were curtailed; the Judiciary lost much of its independence; the Supreme Court was deprived of its jurisdiction over the protection and enforcement of fundamental rights. This Act (i) amended Articles 11, 66, 67, 72, 74, 76, 80, 88, 95, 98, 109, 116, 117, 119, 122, 123, 141A, 147 and 148 of the Constitution; (ii) substituted Articles 44, 70, 102, 115 and 124 of the Constitution; (iii) amended Part III of the Constitution out of existence; (iv) altered the Third and Fourth Schedule; (v) extended the term of the first Jatiya Sangsad; (vi) made special provisions relating to the office of the President and its incumbent; (vii) inserted a new part, i.e. part VIA in the Constitution and (viii) inserted Articles 73A and 116A in the Constitution.

Fifth Amendment: The Constitution (Fifth Amendment) Act was passed by the Jatiya Sangsad on 6 April 1979. This Act amended the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution by adding a new Paragraph 18 thereto, which provided that all amendments, additions, modifications, substitutions and omissions made in the Constitution during the period between 15 August 1975 and 9 April 1979 (both days inclusive) by any Proclamation or Proclamation Order of the Martial Law Authorities had been validly made and would not be called in question in or before any court or tribunal or authority on any ground whatsoever. The expression 'Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim' was added before the Preamble of the Constitution. The expression 'historic struggle for national liberation' in the Preamble was replaced by 'a historic war for national independence.' One party system was replaced by multiparty parliamentary system. Fundamental principles of state policy were made as 'absolute trust and faith in the Almighty Allah, nationalism, democracy and socialism meaning economic and social justice.'

Sixth Amendment: The Constitution (Sixth Amendment) 1981 was passed providing, inter alia, that if the Vice President is elected as President, he shall be deemed to have vacated his office on the date on which he enters upon the office of President.

Seventh Amendment: The Constitution (Seventh Amendment) Act 1986 was passed ratifying all the Proclamations and Proclamation Orders and the amendments made in the Constitution by such Proclamations and Proclamations Orders and all actions of the Martial law authorities and declaring those to have been validly made and done. By the same Act the retiring age of the Judges of the Supreme Court was fixed at 65 in place of 62.

Eighth Amendment: The Constitution (Eighth Amendment) Act 1988 was passed amending Article 100 of the Constitution and thereby setting up six permanent Benches of the High Court Division outside the capital and authorising the President to fix by notification the territorial jurisdiction of the permanent Benches. By the same Act, 'Islam' was made the state religion of Bangladesh. This Act also amended (i) the word 'Bengali' into 'Bangla' and 'Dacca' into 'Dhaka' in Article 5 of the Constitution, (ii) Article 30 of the Constitution by prohibiting acceptance of any title, honours, award or decoration from any foreign state by any citizen of Bangladesh without the prior approval of the President.

Ninth Amendment: The Constitution (Ninth Amendment) Act 1989 was passed in July 1989. This amendment provided for the direct election of the Vice-President; it restricted a person in holding the office of the President for two consecutive terms of five years each; it also provided that a Vice-President might be appointed in case of a vacancy, but the appointment must be approved by the Jatiya Sangsad.

Tenth Amendment: The Constitution (Tenth Amendment) Act 1990 amended, among others, Article 65 of the Constitution, providing for reservation of thirty seats for the next 10 years in the Jatiya Sangsad exclusively for women members, to be elected by the members of the Sangsad.

Eleventh Amendment: The Constitution (Eleventh Amendment) Act 1991 ratified all actions taken by the caretaker government headed by Justice Shahabiuddin Ahmed. It also ratified the appointment of Chief Justice Shahabuddin Ahmed as the Vice President who later became Acting President upon Ershad's resignation. In addition, the Act also confirmed and made possible the return of Acting President Shahabuddin Ahmed to his previous position of the Chief Justice of Bangladesh.

Twelfth Amendment: The Constitution (Twelfth Amendment) Act 1991 re-introduced the parliamentary form of government; the President became the constitutional Head of the State; the Prime Minister became the executive Head; the cabinet headed by the Prime Minister became responsible to the Jatiya Sangsad; the post of the Vice-President was abolished; the President was required to be elected by the members of the Jatiya Sangsad.

Thirteenth Amendment: The Constitution (Thirteenth Amendment) Act 1996 provided for a non-party Caretaker Government which, acting as an interim government, would give all possible aid and assistance to the Election Commission for holding the general election of members of the Jatiya Sangsad peacefully, fairly and impartially. The caretaker government, comprising the Chief Adviser and not more than 10 other advisers, would be collectively responsible to the President and would stand dissolved on the date on which the Prime Minister entered upon his office after the Constitution of the new Sangsad.

Fourteenth Amendment: The Constitutional (fourteenth Amendment) Act 1994 was passed providing, among others, the following provisions: reservation of 45 seats for women on a proportional representation basis for the next 10 years; increase in the retirement age of Supreme Court Judges from 65 to 67 years; and displaying of portraits of the President and the Prime Minister in all government, semi-government and autonomous offices and diplomatic missions abroad.

Part 2

Analysis and comments

It is observed from the above summary, that a few Amendments made at one time under certain compelling circumstances were subsequently removed by another Amendment, and also that several of these had a broad nationwide consensus. But a few of the Amendments were enacted without proper debates and thorough discussions involving all the stake holders including people adhering to different, sometime opposing, ideological or political views. Amendments that were the result of one-dimensional thought, lack of respect for democratic practices or expediency have obviously come under severe criticisms, sometimes for valid reasons and sometimes for sectarian political purposes.

The BAL leaders want to amend the present Constitution, because according to them, the Constitution was made 'Communal' by introducing the words 'Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim' in the preamble and by making 'Islam' the 'state religion' at the expense of the principle of 'Secularism'. This brought about fundamental changes to Constitution, which is true in my opinion, but I am not sure whether this made Bangladesh 'more Islamic' or 'communal' than before. It is noted that equal rights, including freedom to practice all religions, are guaranteed in the Constitution. There may be some ambiguity and it is true that some fringe groups have been agitating for introduction of 'Sharia Law'. This, of course, is scaring the religious minorities for the potential loss of their religious rights and freedom under an 'Islamic Republic' in the style of Pakistan or Afghanistan under Taliban rule. Majority Muslims of Bangladesh are also concerned since such arrangements may encourage the extremist groups to adopt violent and terrorist methods for a change of the government and the system.

The BAL leaders and their die-hard supporters allege that the Fifth Amendment is the root of all evils in Bangladesh, and that all mischief, corruption, intolerance, politics of conspiracy, 'Islamic Extremism and militancy', etc., started only after the overthrow of the BKSAL regime in 1975. But they remain conspicuously silent on the Fourth Amendment enacted by a civilian government which established a one-party (BKSAL) dictatorial system or even the Third Amendment which ceded Bangladesh territory to a different country. It is also alleged that the Fifth Amendment destroyed 'the values and spirit' of the liberation war and so this should be cancelled. They argue that the original state principles (nationalism, democracy, socialism and secularism) as incorporated as fundamental state principles in the 1972 Constitution should be restored, to establish the 'Rule of Law' and prevent 'Islamic Terrorism'.

The Fifth Amendment was enacted by a military government in the aftermath of a series of murderous coups, counter-coups and regime change. The period was very painful, uncertain and critical for the 'sovereign existence' of Bangladesh as it faced hosts of political, economic and security challenges from both within and outside. One may have reservations about some aspects of this or any other Amendment but it is important also to consider the overall situation prevailing at the time. And it is wrong, in my view, to condemn any or all the Amendments if the existing circumstances demanded it, but we have a right, in fact obligations, to look at them critically and reassess the situation.

The most controversial part of the Amendment was the Indemnity for the killings in the aftermath of the August 15, 1975 coup that overthrew the BKSAL regime. The ousted government was led by civilian politicians but it was undisputedly a dictatorial regime with unlimited powers in the hands of the President who could be elected for as many terms as possible (most people took this for a 'President-for Life' arrangement).

Of course, there are deficiencies, in some cases contradictions, in the Constitution as it has evolved during the last 37 years and these should be rectified in the light of aspirations and practical needs of a modern democratic and civilised society. The Constitution should serve the people, all the people, irrespective of creed, caste, gender and ethnicity. Constitutional provisions must guarantee equal rights, privileges as well as responsibilities for all citizens of the state; none should feel marginalised and discriminated by any provision of the Constitution. And, no act of treason or murder, whether committed by individual or any state organ, should be condoned or indemnified by any Constitutional provision.

The 1972 Constitution had four basic principles: Nationalism (Bangalee), Democracy, Socialism and Secularism. Three of these principles (Democracy, Socialism and Secularism) were perhaps taken from Indian Constitution.

The Constitution was adopted immediately after the birth of Bangladesh, and those were the days when Bangladesh was strongly allied with India and Soviet Russia, and still lacked formal recognition from Pakistan, China and most of the Arab and Muslim countries. Those were also the days of Vietnam and the slogan of Socialism inspired millions of young activists throughout the third world including Bangladesh. It is also a fact that the Bangladeshi students and youths were in the forefront of our independence struggle. Senior political leaders including Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (who had been pro-capitalist and pro-western throughout his political career) had to accommodate the wishes and zeal of this vast youth force. But the irony is that BAL had no real understanding or genuine commitment to Socialism as opposed to Capitalism. Socialism was only a convenient slogan to nationalize the Banks and other financial institutions from the hands of their former owners (mainly from West Pakistan or Muslim expatriates from India). The USA and pro-western elements thought that this was a disastrous step and there was another potential 'red republic' in the making.

The word 'Socialism' was not omitted altogether from the Constitution by the subsequent amendments but redefined by saying that it meant 'economic and social justice'. This assured the West and pro-capitalist elements that Bangladeshi Socialism is not socialism in the real sense, it was not the socialism as it was then practised in China or Soviet Russia, and that there is no reason to be panicked. In the light of the major changes in the world economic and power relations over the last decades (specially since the collapse of Soviet model, end of Cold war, revisions in the Chinese model), debates on this 'revisionist socialism' in the Constitution is rather muted. Some of our former 'Socialist revolutionary leaders' are happily co-habiting with semi-feudal, pro-capitalist parties.

The debate on 'Nationalism' (Bangalee vs Bangladeshi) seems to be driven by emotion. Personally, I feel quite comfortable being known as a 'Bangladeshi' national with 'Bangalee' cultural and linguistic heritage and with a Muslim faith. Citizens who are not Bangalee but of other ethnic and cultural roots and profess any of the non-Muslim faiths should feel quite comfortable if their nationality is 'Bangladeshi'. I find no contradiction in this kind of arrangement. But it is wrong to define all the citizens of Bangladesh as 'Bangalee'; they would not feel comfortable with is this definition. Those who raise controversies and unnecessary debates on this issue are not helping Bangladesh to establish its distinct national identity.

The issue of 'Secularism' is more sensitive as it is supposed to be more progressive and all embracing as opposed to the word 'Islam or Muslim' in the Constitution. Whether the present BAL government really wants to delete the words 'Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim' from the preamble and 'Islam is the state religion' from the Constitution to reinstate the word 'Secularism', remain to be seen. Still we may make a few comments for general discussion.

In my opinion, it would be very controversial and difficult to remove the words from the preamble. Whether it was right or wrong at the time of its addition to the Constitution is another question. But doing this now would send a wrong signal to the vast majority of Muslims about the intention of the BAL government.

The fact remains that in many 'secular' western countries, belief in the Almighty God (Allah) remains a cardinal principle. These countries have Christian majority populations, and Christian traditions, rituals and culture dominate the social and cultural life of most people, although legitimate rights of people practicing other religious faiths, as well as those of atheists or agnostics, are acknowledged, respected, and legally guaranteed. There are extremists and fanatics also within these secular Christian societies, but the legal system is strong enough to contain their activities that advocate hatred, racism and violence. The societies are economically, socially and politically more advanced and mature with a high degree of tolerance for different religions, culture and opposing views. Bangladesh society is relatively backward in economy, political and social culture compared with the European societies and what is acceptable in Europe may not be acceptable in Bangladesh.

Does religion clash with secularism? According to many people, it does so when religion and only religion is the guiding force for all political and social activities within a state. We have witnessed this in Afghanistan, Sudan or Somalia, Kashmir, Chechnya or even in Iran to some extent. But the matter is more complex that it appears on the surface. There are dozens of other reasons for the instability, turmoil, and conflicts in most of these societies.

The question of religion (Islam) is often invoked by certain quarters (both at home and abroad), but the underlying unresolved national questions (right of self determination as guaranteed by the UN Charter), foreign aggressions and occupation associated with extreme violations of basic human rights to life, property and dignity are often ignored. Blaming Islam for all the ills of the world is clearly one-sided and wrong. We are dismayed to see that many people condemn Pakistan, for example, for branding itself as an 'Islamic' country but they have no problem in supporting the purely 'Jewish' nature of Israel, a settler colonial, racist state that is acting as an advanced outpost of the militarist imperialists and bent on destroying the Palestinian people and subjugating other Middle Eastern Muslim states. Despite anti-Islam, anti-Bangladesh propaganda by some R&AW inspired elements, independent Bangladesh has not witnessed any serious communal riots or systematic repression of religious minorities, whereas in India, which has a 'secular' label, repression of religious and ethnic minorities, communal riots, caste and class violence happen more or less regularly. The main point is not what you profess but what you do.

Personally, I do not support that the idea that politics and state structure of a modern country should be based exclusively on a very rigid interpretation of holy books, although I have no problem in accepting the basic teachings of honesty, tolerance, fellowship and humanity which are the core values of all religions. Unfortunately, some people who themselves are devoid of any moral values dominate our politics and exploit the name of religion to fool the common people.

One such person is he who staged a coup to overthrow a democratically elected government in 1982 and amended the Constitution to make 'Islam' the State Religion. Many people believe that this was done not for the love of Islam but for his own political agenda. He was the worst type of political manipulator, financially and ethically corrupt, and he did everything that goes against the basic teachings of Islam.

The irony is that the same person is now a partner in the current BAL government. What would he say if and when the government amends the Constitution to remove 'Islam' and incorporates 'Secularism' in its place? Would that be acceptable to the majority Muslim population? Honestly, I do not know. But I have a feeling that it will arouse intense emotional feelings to cause greater dissension and destabilisation. There is every chance of the issue or intention of the government being misinterpreted. Can the government handle the situation, even with its more than two-thirds majority in the parliament?

We can write many good words and sentences in the Constitution, but this by itself does not guarantee a system of democracy and good governance, unless the rule of law and justice providing equal opportunity for all religious and ethnic communities are practised. Secularism was a part of the Constitution until the Fifth Amendment, but was the socio-political situation better then? The answer is a clear 'No'. We are still alive to tell the story of mismanagement, nepotism, corruption, grabbing of 'enemy' properties and industries, one-party dictatorship, mad made famine, factional fighting and state sponsored killings by Rakkhi Bahini and other killer groups. What led to the coups and counter-coups in 1975, only after a few years of the country's independence? We should give up emotion and half-truths and do an objective analysis based on facts. Blaming only this person or that person, this country or that country, for all ills of the country's failure to establish a genuine democratic order and just society is not good enough. We must do some soul-searching and work together to analyse the problems and find the best possible solution.

In conclusion, we have no objections in enacting another Amendment by the present or future governments, but if and when this is done, there must be full debates and participation by all the political parties, intelligentsia and concerned citizens.

[mukto-mona] FW: BNP Council : Khaleda Lays Down 19-pt Programme

BNP Council : Khaleda Lays Down 19-pt Programme

National dailies have reported the successful holding of BNP council which was attended by a large number of elected councillors and delegates and observers from home and abroad. In the council BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia unveiled 19-point programme that includes strengthening the country's democratic institutions and curbing corruption, criminal activities and injustice. Addressing the party's grassroots level leaders, Khaleda, who was re-elected the party chairperson unopposed, urged party men to implement the programmes by shunning the paths of injustice, wrongdoings, greed and corruption. "We have come out of disasters with new dreams to build Bangladesh and make people happy. We will together implement the dreams. The party will have to be made capable of materialising those dreams," the BNP chief said, describing the adverse situation her party faced during the last caretaker government's rule. The programmes also include establishing good governance and rule of law, expediting national development by "turning the population into manpower", ensuring people's basic needs, taking measures to expand the science, technology and ICT sector to make Bangladesh fit for the 21st century, re-opening of closed down industries, and providing all-out support to local industries for their survival.Political analysts say the programmes aim at making the party more pro-people and restore people's support keeping in mind the next general elections.Amid slogans and clapping of grassroots leaders from across the country, Khaleda said the party council aimed to bring qualitative changes within the party to make it a competent mechanism in implementing those programmes.She urged all patriotic people, political parties, students, youths, workers and all professional and cultural organisations to unite and work together for the people's welfare and establish the rule of law.

Lambasting the present Awami League-led government's rule, Khaleda, also leader of the opposition in parliament, called upon the ruling party to work for the people and the country.In her 70-minute speech at the opening session of the council at Bangabandhu International Convention Centre, Khaleda asked the government to work to implement its election manifesto. "We will extend constructive cooperation," she said.The BNP chief accused the ruling party of not behaving properly with the opposition in parliament and asked the government to pay due respect to the opposition party to get its cooperation."Let the opposition talk for the people and stay away from bringing false allegations against it. Discuss any issues related to people and the country in parliament before making any decision. We will help make parliament effective," she said.Khaleda said the government's "go alone" policy on holding trial of the killing of army officers, demarcation of maritime boundary, Tipaimukh Dam issue, Asian Highway and withdrawal of army camps form Chittagong Hill Tracts has aroused suspicion among the people about its sincerity.The BNP will protest if the government does anything that goes against the people, she said, adding, "If necessary, we will launch movements and resistance taking people with us."She said people are not safe now in and outside home and frustration and grievances are increasing among them. "People are saying that the government has not been able to bring changes, rather it has increased their sufferings. The government is busy with making the country volatile instead of building a digital Bangladesh," she said.

. She also portrayed the last caretaker government's tenure as marked by misrule. She blasted the caretaker government for its effort to exclude her and Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina from politics."Like politicians, businessmen and other people, my family members were also tortured and I had been confined to my house before my detention," she said.Describing the 9/11 as a guerrilla attack, Khaleda said it "hit America in the heart". "Similarly, the conspirators of 1/11 also hit Bangladesh in the heart," she said.Khaleda said with the current government misrule has been established again. "Therefore, we will have to prepare for a tough struggle, for which unity among ourselves and having people beside us are required."

The council has authorized Khaleda Zia to finalize the central leaders from among the elected councillors.We will soon the choices BNP Chairperson makes. Her announcement of new programme will bring the party closer to reality and people.The BNP has a big role in the national politics.

The country is not in good shape in many ways.Its foreign policy appears to have lost its way.It is not tuned with long term national intest.Its policy regarding Asia highway, Tipaimukh ,transit and corridor are very weak and subservient. Its conduct in some alleged arms smuggling case and some political refugee leaders of neighboring country can not be understood.It is just against the policy in these regards followed by all major powers including India and Pakistan. It is also against policy followed in the last sixty years in this region.

In any event we wish for strengthening of democracy in the country and BNP’s rejuvenation will be hugely helpful in this regard.

[mukto-mona] Fwd: Fw: Another threat to Kamran Shafi

Omar,

During or perhaps after the Swat operation by the Taliban, I actually witnessed the videos of this gruesome act performed, one by one, on a number of men, lying helplessly in the open field, while the 'jallaad' (the executioner) was going from one prostrate individual to the other, reciting "Allah-o Akbar" again and again. Also, during the performance of these acts of bravery, I could hear other men standing around witnessing this spectacle, singing on an on in unison in the back ground, apparently, some religious songs (probably in Pashto). I also remember, very well that it seemed the knife was not sharp enough, for it took the pious and brave man some struggling and effort before fully completing the act of decapitating the bleeding head. And then proudly positioning and adjusting it over the chest of the victim for displaying his proud accomplishment. I could also see the dead, still seemingly alive, but silent unfocussed blank eyes staring vacantly from the bloody orbits of the decapitated head, that had been set upon the chest of the person to whom they had belonged barely a few of minutes ago!

This is horrendous. They clearly TARGETED women and children (who else would die if you attack a crowded clothes and shoes market?).
I hope that all parties in Pakistan see that this requires a national unity govt with the civilians REALLY in charge so that they can make sure that demented policies of "strategic depth" and suchlike are not allowed to hinder operations against these killers. Unless the state can develop clear and consistant policies, with ALL organs of the state under full control of a legitimate government and fully cooperating, this was is unwinnable.

Everyone has freedom of opinion, even Zaid Hamid, but why should the army's own ad agency support the spreading of mass confusion? Even now, many pakistanis have no idea who their enemy is. Instead of banning foreign correspondents from South Punjab and trying to make sure the
news about who attacked Mumbai does not reach the Pakistani people, the state has to finally make a clean break with these people. We have been saying for years that the mindset that allows killers to walk around Victoria terminus killing innocents will also allow them to do the same in Rawalpindi and Lahore. Morons like Musharraf who famously thought that "in kee tooti hamarey haath mein hai" should be told to shut up and keep their mouth shut until things get better.

Every Muslim knows that the real Qurbani (Sacrifice) is a practice of Detachment. Allah asked him to sacrifice his most precious thing. What is the most dearest thing to a man on this earth? It is his money—isn't it? Doesn't he love money more than anything else on the face of the earth? For Abraham it was his Gold, Silver and interest income. Here is what happened when it came to sacrifice. For a start, God wanted to remind Abraham that he should not love his Money more than loving Him. So, He asked Abraham to sacrifice his most beloved thing in the world. He was tested and this Abraham fella failed the test miserably. He cheated God. His love for God was a hoax. He could not detach from what he loved the most—his money, his Gold, and of course, his harem full of beautiful blondes. O' what a tangled web we weave when we intend to deceive! He managed to convince his equally greedy and lustful followers that this Cow is our most precious possession. We must slaughter these animals. Abraham knew full well that Allah wanted him to sacrifice his inner animal not that poor cattle! Every Muslim knows that slaying the animal inside is the true meaning of sacrifice—yet his irrational nature always does the opposite. In my opinion, Arundhoti Roy is a true Muslim and here is why; She gave her Booker T Prize money—Million Dollar—to Normoda Bachaao Andolan. She gave her Sydney Prize money—all of it—to Aborigine groups. She gave her Lennon Prize Money to fifty organizations across India . As a matter of fact, she gave away all her money to the charities of her choice across the world. Folks this is called 'Qurbani'.

[mukto-mona] How much time should a terrorist spend in jail?

Greetings,

Examining court documents from the US and Bangladesh and transcripts from Shifa's entire trial, investigative journalist and documentary maker David Weingarten has written an article on Shifa and Haris' Sentence Hearing. Take a moment to read the article.

Please attend Shifa and Haris' Sentence Hearing on December 14 (Monday) and Sustenance Gathering Dinner on Dec. 13 (Sunday). RSVP for Dec 13 by emailing freeshifa@gmail.com and visit www.freeshifa.com for more details

......................

How much time should a terrorist spend in jail?

David Weingarten

A man who killed 270 people in the Lockerbie bombing was sentenced to 30 years in a Scottish prison, but released after only 8. A Pole named Paszkowski hijacked an airplane in the 1980's yet was quietly allowed into Canada, allegedly finding work with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).

But Ehsanul Sadequee, an American convicted in October of "providing material support for terrorism", faces up to 60 years for a crime that neither brought him close to a weapon nor, according to authorities, even posed an imminent threat. Now that Sadequee's request for a new trial has been rejected by a federal judge, the path has been cleared for his sentencing.

Sadequee's motion for a new trial was rooted in two issues, the first being the nature of his arrest. After arriving in Bangladesh in 2006, Sadequee was apprehended by authorities and rendered to the United States. Prosecutors deny that this rendition was illegal, despite the lack of an extradition treaty between the U.S. and Bangladesh. The fact that U.S. authorities obtained Sadequee within only several days of his capture does seem to strongly suggest that legal protocol was ignored or sidestepped. The Bangladeshi Supreme Court seems to agree, and recently declared the rendition to be unlawful and in violation of the sovereignty of Bangladesh.

The other source of contention for Sadequee is the question of which terrorist organization he is actually accused of attempting to support. Throughout the media, as well as in court, it has been claimed that Sadequee's interest in going to Bangladesh was joining the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LET). Although he had visited the country previously and presumably had the opportunity to join LET, Sadequee instead demonstrated his priorities were to marry his wife Happy. Even with no evidenced attempts to join, the defense argues that LET was already a banned organization when Sadequee arrived in Bangladesh and there would have been no outlet for him to be recruited. It's possible that Sadequee may have resorted to joining LET's alleged political arm Jama'at-ud-Da'wah (JUD), but there's a problem with that allegation - JUD was not designated a terrorist organization until April 2006. Court documents indicate that "coincidentally" it is the very same month that Sadequee was rendered to the United States.

We are apparently willing to relinquish the right of national sovereignty in the "war on terror", but can we condemn somebody over the mere accusation that they could have joined a group that was not even outlawed until the time of their arrest? While the fore-mentioned terrorists actually took the steps of carrying out violent acts, Sadequee's conviction seems to rely on "thought-crimes" and "guilt by association".

For instance, much of the evidence in Sadequee's trial focused on his online activities – discussing principles of Islamic faith, translating religious texts, and associating in internet chat-rooms with individuals who may have been involved in "terrorism" as it's been popularly defined. Though many of Sadequee's supporters argue that his activities fall comfortably within the First Amendment right of free speech, FBI special agent Gregory Jones commented shortly after Sadequee's conviction that the FBI "doesn't buy that argument".

Among the material support Sadequee is accused of providing is a video he filmed that includes footage of frequently visited Washington D.C. landmarks. Although the home video has been characterized in the popular media as a "casing video", authorities have insisted that there was no imminent attack against the U.S. Capitol. This alone indicates Sadequee's "support for terrorism" may not be as scary as it has been sensationally made to seem.

Unfortunately, anti-terrorism legislation is so wide-reaching and over-arching by design that common, everyday activities can easily be mistaken for terrorist activity. Although this is beneficial for prosecutors and law enforcement agencies (not to mention their budgets), it is a frightening prospect for average citizens whose freedom can be suspended upon the mere accusation they support terrorism.

Even scarier is the notion that once anti-terror charges are applied disingenuously to enough people, law enforcement can effectively create the appearance of a "nexus of terrorism". This is precisely the illusion that has been established in the case of Sadequee who, along with his friend Syed Haris Ahmed*, has been linked to similar cases around the world including Canada's "Toronto 18".

In that case, Canada's anti-terrorism laws have demonstrated what an extremely low threshold there is for being found guilty of terrorism. The first "Toronto 18" conviction was Nishanthan Yogakrishnan who, by the admission of a police informant involved with the case, was a naive "sheep" that was purposefully "kept on the down-low" as to any real terrorism plans, if they actually existed.

Despite these comments from an RCMP agent, the youth was still found guilty by a judge that dismissed the implausibility of the plot, remarking: "It might have been said prior to Sept. 11, 2001, that a plan to kill thousands and destroy landmark buildings in lower Manhattan and Washington had no possibility of implementation".

In his decision, Justice John Sproat highlights the warped mentality that has permeated our intelligence communities, our media, and a large portion of the general public in the wake of 9/11. It is a mentality that has turned tourist maps into weapons of mass destruction, paintball and camping trips into munitions training, and for Ehsanul Sadequee, home videos into "material support for terrorism". While these items and activities don't usually draw the ire of authorities when white people are involved, they are often used as "evidence" to justify criminal charges against Muslims that are based on their associations.

Though credit must be given when the authorities "get it right", the overwhelming amount of cases where they do not warrant a re-examination of anti-terror legislation and the allowance it makes for criminalization of common practice. The subjectivity of these laws allow for discrimination and misinterpretation within the eyes of our intelligence communities and, perhaps more importantly, the public.

A report from the Canadian government has even gone so far as to label a 13th century Islamic scholar as contributing to radicalization and "violent Jihad in Canada", putting fundamental teachings of the Islamic faith into the same category as Mein Kampf. This report defines radicalization as "the process by which an individual progresses to an Islamist extremist viewpoint where violence is a justifiable means to achieve ideological objectives". The report fails to address, however, examples of Christian and Jewish extremists who have contributed to over 1-million civilian deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan for their own ideological aims. The fact that those responsible have gone unpunished while people like Sadequee face up to 60 years in prison only follows an established pattern - egregious terrorist offenders remain free while the bit players are condemned. Sadequee is scheduled to be sentenced December 14th in Atlanta, Georgia.

*Mr. Ahmed - convicted along with Mr. Sadequee - has written an essay regarding the sentencing that can be read here.
