Democracy & Human Rights Menaced by the BAKSALi Fascist Regime in Bangladesh
Dear Democracy-Loving Colleagues,
I would like to draw your kind attention to the current Bangladesh Government's onslaught of fascist actions against opposition parties and media that grossly violate justice, human rights and democratic norms, which unless intervened and abetted may lead this poor nation to a civil war. As part of this digital BAKSALi fascist government's political repression, the Ameer, Secretary General and Nayeb e Ameer of Bangladesh Jamaat Islami (BJI), the largest democratic Islamic party and the second largest opposition of Bangladesh, were arrested yesterday for a frivolously fabricated alleged charge of hurting the religious sentiments of Muslims. This is nothing more than merely crocodile tears of an ultra-secularist government who does not have slightest sympathy to religious sentiment but takes all advantage thereof for political profiteering. Although the alleged statement for which they have been arrested were made by another party-man, they have been more
than equally implicated on the basis of the government's might is right policy. The alleged statement in the form of a comparison that the challenges and suppressions faced by the Prophet's movement and those that the party (which is a democratic Islamic movement) is currently facing are no different should not by any means construed to agitate religious sentiment. Nevertheless the ultra-secularist government, which is utterly hostile to Islamic political activities, created a big issue out of this for its mean political gain. Following these leaders' arrest the police have started a massive arrest of the Party activists in every corner of the country. There are evidences of massive random attack by the pro-government activists on the activists and establishments of the BJI throughout the country. Since the government apprehended that these opposition leaders might be granted bail on this frivolous case, it pressurized the judiciary to declare them as
"shown arrested" under other serious unfounded false cases including murder of a Rajshahi University student (who was in fact killed due to the pro-government student organization Bangladesh Chhatra League or BCL's in-fight) and sedition and war crimes committed during 1971 so that they cannot escape remand and physical torture for which is regime is known notorious. As such, while the court has granted them bail for the frivolous case for which they were initially arrested, they are by now shown arrested under 8 cases and the government has demanded 40 days remand for each of the leaders. The court has today initially granted 16 days remand for each which will be extended on further demand after conclusion the initial duration as customarily practiced between the Bangladesh government and its judiciary.
Please see the pro-government daily "The Star" report, although the report is biased against the BJI:

Police wants to book top Jamaat brass in 2 cases
Separate appeals were filed with two courts in Dhaka and Rajshahi for showing the chief, secretary general and vice president of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami arrested in two cases – one for murder and another for sedition. Detective police appealed to a Dhaka court for showing Jamaat Chief Motiur Rahman Nizami, Secretary General Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed, vice president Delwar Hossain Saydee arrested in the sedition case. The case was filed with Biman Bandar Police Station for holding a secrete meeting at former energy adviser Mahamudur Rahman's Artisan ceramic Lt Company office at Uattara in 2006. In that case, Mahmudur Rahman, the acting editor of the recently closed daily Amar Desh, is the main accused. The court will hear the appeal later in the day. Nizami, Mojaheed and Saydee were arrested from the capital and Savar on Tuesday, hours after a Dhaka court issued arrest warrant against them in connection with a case filed against them for hurting
religious sentiments of Muslims. In Rajshahi, police appealed to Rajshahi Metropolitan Magistrate (RMM) Court to show the three Jamaat-e-Islami leaders arrested in BCL worker Faruk Hossain killing case. Matihar police filed the appeal to Magistrate Amirul Islam, reports our staff correspondent in Rajshahi. Three Jamaat and Shibir leaders arrested in the case earlier told to the police that Faruk was killed as per the instruction of Jamaat top leaders including Nijami, Mojaheed and Saydee. Faruk Hossain, a final year student of the Department of Mathematics of RU, was hacked to death by Islami Chhatra Shibir activists at Rajshahi University on February 8 this year.

Move to implicate Jamaat leaders in murders
Wed, Jun 30th, 2010 3:48 pm BdSTDial 2000 from your GP mobile for latest news
Dhaka, June 30 (bdnews24.com)--The police have appealed to the court to implicate the top Jamaat-e-Islami leaders in cases related to the murders of freedom fighters in 1971. The Detective Branch's crime and investigation department additional deputy commissioner Ruhul Amin told bdnews24.com that the appeals were lodged at Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court on Wednesday noon. Jamaat chief Matiur Rahman Nizami, secretary general Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed and central executive committee member Delwar Hossain Sayedee will be presented before court later in the day. The police want to show them arrested in two cases for the murder of freedom fighters in 1971 at the capital's Pallabi and Keraniganj. He also said that a petition was made to show Sayedee arrested in a separate case for the killing of freedom fighters in 1971, which was filed with Pirojpur police. The police also appealed to show the trio arrested in the murder case of Rajshahi
University student Faruk Hossain and a case for attack on the law-enforcers at Paltan in last February. Earlier on Tuesday, the Jamaat leaders were detained in a case filed for hurting religious sentiments after a Dhaka court ordered their arrest for defying its orders. Magistrate Mehdi Hasan Talukder of Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court issued the order against the three and Dhaka Metropolitan Jamaat chief Rafiqul Islam Khan as they did not appear before the judge. The court granted bail to another suspect in the case, Mohammad Yahia, Islami Chhatra Shibir president of Dhaka metropolitan (south), after he had surrendered to the court and sought bail. The case cited Rafiqul Islam Khan's comparison of Nizami to Prophet Muhammad at a March 17 meeting of the pro-Jamaat student front Islami Chhatra Shibir in the city. Various newspapers on Mar 18 reported Khan as saying that the prophet in his lifetime was "tortured, falsified and conspired
against" and "the same is happening in the case of Nizami". Bangladesh Tariqat Federation secretary general Syed Rezaul Haque Chandpuri filed the case on Mar 21.
I do not ask for your favor or sympathy to a political party including Jamaat, but any help that you can possibly extend in favor of upholding justice, human rights and democracy in Bangladesh would be greatly remembered by the suffering people of Bangladesh who deserve a prosperous and peaceful life.
