Extra-judicial Killings

Law-enforcers' story questioned

Terming law enforcers' accounts on extrajudicial killings as story, National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Chairman Prof Mizanur Rahman yesterday questioned the credibility of their version.

"After crossfire incidents, we repeatedly hear same type of stories which create confusion among the people. It is not good for the society," the rights body chief told a meet the press programme.

Crime Reporters' Association of Bangladesh organised the event titled "Role of crime reporters to protect human rights" at Dhaka Reporters Unity, with its president Parvez Khan in the chair.

"Rab members are adequately trained. So why do people die from their gunshots and why the bullets don't hit their legs?" he posed the questions.

Law enforces often claim that they open fire in self-defence. Though it is legal, there is a specific definition of it. All the claims about self-defence are not legal, he mentioned. "Only the judiciary can decide which is legal or not. Let them take a decision on this."

Lawmen even try to legalise an extrajudicial killing citing one's previous criminal record, which is not legal either, added Mizanur.

Regarding persons going missing, the NHRC chief said right to life is the topmost basic right of the people. In a democratic country it is not acceptable that a person will go missing.

The state has to take the responsibility regardless of whether it finds them out or not. There is nothing to play hide and seek in this regard, he maintained.

Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police Benazir Ahmed pointed to lack of manpower in the judiciary for a huge backlog of cases. He suggested enhancing the capacity of the judiciary by 10 times to minimise the case backlog.

Additional Director General of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) Col Majibur Rahman, Director of its legal and media wing Commander M Sohail and Chief Executive of Bangladesh Human Rights Foundation Alena Khan addressed the programme, among others.

Law, order better than any time in decade: Sahara

The home minister, Sahara Khatun, on Wednesday claimed that law and order now was better than any time in a decade.

Sahara said this at a press conference after a meeting of an inter-ministerial task force composed of home affairs, foreign affairs and law ministries on brining back home the convicted accused in the Mujib murder case hiding in other countries.

Asked about an increasing number of cases of disappearance and secret killing, she repeated her speech and said, 'According to reports of the mass media at home and abroad, Bangladesh's law and order is better than any time in 10 years.'

the law minister, Shafique Ahmed, said, 'How has the number of such incidents increased? Such incidents also took place in the past. We get to know of them as such incidents are now reported in the mass media.'

As for allegation of involvement of the law enforcement agencies in such disappearance and secret killing as an alternative to extrajudicial ways such as 'crossfire,' she said that there were law enforcement agencies, courts and the home ministry to look into such allegations. Aggrieved people could easily get justice by way of laws, she added.

As for bringing back home six fugitive convicts of the Mujib murder case, Shafique said that the government was making all-out efforts, including resorting to legal means, to bring back home Noor Chowdhury from Canada and Rashed Chowdhury from the United States.

He said that foreign and home affairs ministry were working to bring back the two convicts.Shafique, however, said that the government was yet to identify the whereabouts of the remaining four convicts as they were moving about. Of the 12 convicted, five were hanged to death, one died abroad and six others are in hiding.

Asked about the probable complications in bringing back home any condemned convicts from Canada as the law there does not allow execution, Shafique said that they could appeal to the Appellate Division, seek review of the High Court judgement and seek presidential clemency.

[ALOCHONA] Bloggers: An emerging third force in politics?

Bloggers (Asif and the likes): An emerging third force in politics?

Afsan Chowdhury



A quiet revolution is taking place in Bangladesh. In the recent days, the blogosphere as a tried and tested weapon of the citizen not under the control of the state authorities or untrustworthy politicians has made its presence known. After many a summer, there is a definite whiff of optimism in the air as the footprints of a new future starts emerging.

* * *
The person who at the moment seems to be at the centre of the 'new era' as a symbol of sort is Asif Mohiuddin, who used the blog to rally people around the cause of the Jagannath University. He did this along with his many other blogger friends. Asif is no fire ranting agitator of the street, so typical in Bangladesh whose existence lies in denying common sense or logic and total mindless loyalty to one political party or another. A university graduate who works for an IT firm, Asif's interest in the issue was triggered by the fact that he had faced great difficulties in paying for his own education at a private university. He didn't want JNU to go private and become an expensive affair for students.

In a quite unassuming way, Asif and his fellow bloggers contested the state and won a small victory. It wasn't that the decision to cut subsidies was suspended but that the state noticed them yet failed to shut them down. Though Asif may have been silenced for the moment, it is ridiculous to think digital activists can ever be shut.

A new form of political confrontation has arrived in Bangladesh and the authorities don't know much about how to handle it just as they don't know anywhere else in the world. They are stuck in an analogue world while the future has crept past them.

* * *
The JNU affair became a contest between the people and the state. At the end of it, it is obvious that bloggers had played a major role in forcing the government to back down from its decision to cut subsidies. Asif and his fellow bloggers had become a symbol of the new generation of agitators.

Going by the bdnews24.com report, it is clear that this blogger type, largely unknown to the authorities till now created many ancient anxieties in a new form for the powers that be. Asif was detained for over 18 hours and subjected to the usual pressure tactics, intimidation and harassment and was told to stay away from politics and get married.

"According to Asif, ASP Rafiqul Islam had reportedly told him: "Don't write. You have a job, get married. No one's ever achieved anything by writing." "Freedom of speech, ethics — these things make no sense in life," Asif quoted the ASP as telling him.

"The ASP at first denied any comments to bdnews24.com. When asked why he had issued such advice to the blogger, he replied, "Well, it was good advice. I told him to stop offensive writing."  (bdnews24.com)

* * *
The policeman of course was prescribing the oldest form of de-radicalisation methods as practiced by the authorities all the way back to the colonial British. Respectability, marriage, jobs, etc. the trappings of a middle-class life are considered cure alls for any opposition to the state. It is also possible to either coerce anyone or bribe them to give up political struggles too. Our political parties are full of people who have sold their souls many times and many new ones mostly join politics to find a counter where their principles can be traded in for some serious money.

What the policeman mentioned works largely for the older variety of politicians, the BNP-Al types but Asif and his fellow bloggers come from a new world, where politics is mostly principled, not driven by patronage and by its very definition intelligent. There are ugly spaces in the blog world too but those are children of the older politics.

Blogging doesn't require dishonesty and cynicism to be politically successful. The very temptations which were part of the advice like marriage, middle-class comfort, respectability needn't be an obstacle in the pursuit of social justice. One can do everything and still be a blogger activist. That is the big danger for the state.

* * *
Asif said he was asked to sign a bond saying, 'I will not write anything in blog, Facebook or other social networking sites.' After much debate, he escaped with a bond saying 'I will not call rallies online on the Jagannath University movement issue in blogs or Facebook.'

Asif said the detective had told him that the state he lived in had no ethics. "The state will see whether you are on its side or against it. If you're against it, you'll be struck down." (bdnews24.com)

Our poor old scared state! It understands the old politics of Hasina and Khaleda and street agitations and bribery but not the new media. What is it to do if anyone with access to a computer becomes an agitator? The state sees everyone but suddenly it faces an enemy which also sees it. It is a wildly discomforting world for the powerful where the people opposed to it are more invisible than them, can hide better and can challenge its power in many areas where the state can't go too well. Even Facebook bans have a bad effect as Bangladesh found out and is subject to global scrutiny.

* * *
There is much anxiety over the new form of digital activism in official quarters. Media reports say that an intelligence agency advised round the clock monitoring of social networks like Facebook and Twitter as well as the blogs 'so that no evil axis can hatch conspiracies by launching campaigns against the government on the sites'. At a meeting of the cabinet committee on law and order, the intelligence agencies suggested that the government should monitor web contents.

The actions and reactions are natural. But as the Arab leaders found out much to their pain, it is possible to tackle one blogger and shut her/him up but it is not possible to shut down the entire social media world. Traditional politicians are very much around but they are no longer the only one in charge and in times of agitation, blog power rivals that of conventional politics. That is why every non-democratic system is scared of the digital world and Bangladesh is no exception.

As blogger Kaushik wrote in reaction to Asif's protest, "The government seems to be unaware of the power of the alternative media. Asif Mohiuddin is just one name — there are thousands of Asifs vocal in the virtual world."

Welcome to the present and certainly welcome to a much more decent future where politics is finally liberated from the past and those who benefit from it. The bloggers, educated, articulate and not part of the scheming elite may well become part of the third force everyone has been hoping for. What better news can there be!

[ALOCHONA] The mystery surrounding Kashmir's graves

The mystery surrounding Kashmir's graves

By Sanjoy Majumder BBC News, Srinagar

"There's one, and another and over there, another…"

Ata Mohammad Khan squints in the harsh midday sun as he points out mounds of earth on a stretch of land by the side of a river. Each one of them is a grave that he says he was made to dig by the police.Mr Khan is a grave digger in the village of Binyar, in Uri in Indian-administered Kashmir, close to the Line of Control that divides Kashmir between India and Pakistan.

His graveyard is one of several sites that are now in the spotlight, after a report by the State Human Rights Commission on the existence of nearly 6,000 bodies in unmarked graves in north Kashmir.It is the first time a government body has acknowledged what many Kashmiris have been saying for years.'Bloodied bodies'

"The police used to bring the bodies, mostly at night," Ata Mohammad Khan says."Many of the bodies were covered in blood, they had bullet holes, some had broken legs. It's hard to describe, these were not normal deaths."His testimony is one of several that is now in the Commission's report which has been compiled by civil rights campaigners.

"We made public announcements saying that if there were any unmarked graves people should contact us," says Khurram Parvez of the Coalition of Civil Society. "We went to different districts, meeting police, grave diggers, community elders and documented the evidence that we have produced."

Maisuma is in the heart of Srinagar, once a volatile neighbourhood that was a major stronghold of the Kashmiri separatists.At the height of the movement the security forces would conduct raids here, picking up anyone suspected of being a militant.

The family of Syed Anwar Shah live in a dilapidated old building, squeezed into a tiny room.His mother weeps as she tells me how he disappeared 11 years ago. "He left for work that day, I had packed his lunch. The security forces picked him off the street. We didn't even realise what happened.

"I've looked everywhere for him but I haven't found him." Who is buried?

Over the past 20 years, thousands of Kashmiris have gone missing - many after allegedly being picked up by the security forces.

The potent issue of missing people in Kashmir has sparked demonstrations

Now the fear is that some of them may actually have been killed and buried in the unmarked graves."Our children were picked up by the army, the police, the special forces. Ask them where they are, ask them what happened to them," says Parveena Ahangar, who leads the Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons.

But the chief minister of Indian-administered Kashmir, Omar Abdullah, says it's unlikely that civilians ended up in the unmarked graves."We have evidence documenting the circumstances under which they died. They were militants from various parts of the world who were killed either while infiltrating or in encounters."

But bowing to public pressure, the government has ordered an investigation to try and determine who is buried in the graves.Not many in Kashmir are confident of the outcome.

"The same people who are responsible for the unmarked graves are being entrusted with carrying out an investigation," says hardline separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani."That's why we are asking the United Nations to set up War Crimes Tribunal to investigate this matter."

Whatever happens, the issue has ignited a fresh debate over India's conduct in Kashmir, a conflict zone that is still heavily militarised and in which more than 60,000 people have died in the past two decades.

Mass Graves Hold Thousands, Kashmir Inquiry Finds

By LYDIA POLGREEN

Thousands of bullet-riddled bodies are buried in dozens of unmarked graves across Kashmir, a state human rights commission inquiry has concluded, many of them likely to be those of civilians who disappeared more than a decade ago in a brutal insurgency.

The inquiry, the result of three years of investigative work by senior police officers working for the Jammu and Kashmir State Human Rights Commission, brings the first official acknowledgment that civilians might have been buried in mass graves in Kashmir, a region claimed by both India and Pakistan where insurgents waged a bloody battle for independence in the early 1990s.

The report sheds new light on a grim chapter in the history of the troubled region and confirms a 2008 report by a Kashmiri human rights organization that found hundreds of bodies buried in the Kashmir Valley.

Tens of thousands of people died in the insurgency, which began in 1989 and was partly fueled by weapons, cash and training from Pakistan.

According to the report, the bodies of hundreds of men described as unidentified militants were buried in unmarked graves. But of the more than 2,000 bodies, 574 were identified as local residents.

"There is every probability that these unidentified dead bodies buried in various unmarked graves at 38 places of North Kashmir may contain the dead bodies of enforced disappearances," the report said.

The report catalogs 2,156 bodies found in graves in four districts of Kashmir that had been at the heart of the insurgency. It called for a thorough inquiry and a collection of DNA evidence to identify the dead, and, for the future, proper identification of anyone killed by security forces in Kashmir to avoid abuse of special laws shielding the military from prosecution there.

Thousands of people, mostly young men, have disappeared in Kashmir. Some went to be trained as militants in the Pakistan-controlled portion of Kashmir and were killed in the fighting. Many others were detained by Indian security forces. The wives they left behind are known as half-widows, because the fates of their husbands are unknown. Parents keep vigil for sons who were arrested two decades ago.

Parveena Ahanger's son Javed was taken away by the police on Aug. 18, 1990, and never seen again. An investigation found that he had been killed by security forces, but they have not been prosecuted, she said.

"I never got any response from the government," she said. "I never got his dead body."

After years of fighting in the courts to find out what happened to Javed, Ms. Ahanger was skeptical that the human rights report would get her son's body back, or bring her justice.

"If the high court doesn't give any justice on this issue, what will the state human rights commission do?" she said.

Zahoor Wani, an activist who works with the families of people who disappeared during the insurgency, said that the report was a welcome first step but that the government must identify the dead and allow families to bury their relatives."It is a very good thing that they acknowledge it," Mr. Wani said. "These families have been living in a hope to see these people again."They are neither dead nor alive," he said. "We need to move them to one pole or the other."

All execution is bad ,elecric shock, injection, with rope or beheading, the result is same.

Shortest time needed to kill a person is to kill them by beheading. It needs only few seconds to kill a person, in other forms of execution that take even minuites to kiill a person.

I personally saw a beheading in Riyadh in during 80's, it takes only few seconds for a person to die. Of course huge bleeding occurs after the death. How much painful this method only experts can say that. After beheading the person ,the executioner(Jollad) cut the big veins of both legs to expedite the death and pain.Severed Head seperated from the body. Even children watch such execution in Saudi Arabia .No photography allowed at all. Saudi Police cordoned that entire area near the Mosque for beheading, and the Imam of that Mosque declares the verdict  of the court after Jumaa prayer. As Imam declares the verdict the executioner bring the accused from the prison van to the middle of the lawn and tell him/her to kneel down facing the floor. As the condemned person seats , immidiately executioner complete his duty from behind in a second with his sharpest tall sword.

People around shout "Allahu Akbar" after the execution. After the beheading Police collects his head and body and take this dead body by the black prison van.

"Power is in the hands of Allah Rabbul Alamin not in the hands of Hasina's Ma Durga definitely."---MA

Allah is more powerful than Durga: what a discriminatory statement! One can imagine what will happen to the religious minorities including Ahmadiyas when these Islamists will go to power. He and KZ in making comments on Hasina's statement are simply expressing their ignorance about the spirits of secularism. I am sure KZ's statement is more about playing a nasty political game while MA's is totally out of fundamentalist belief in Islam. When a PM, KZ visits Pooja mandaps, which MAs will never do. Obviously SH is a far better human being than KZ. And that's what basically we need.

Mr. Jiten Roy,

Damage has already done by 'Bharotbondhu' Sheikh Hasina by her recent comment about the power of Ma Durga. Hasina still stands on her comment and did not withdraw that comment. She  might still believs in the power of Ma Durga(/) .Let the  people of Bangladesh decide  her faith in coming election. Surely she will be out of power no power like Ma Durga nor supporter like Jiten's, Guho's can save her from imminant defeat. Power is  in the hands of Allah Rabbul Alamin not in the hands of Hasina's Ma Durga definitely.

It is unfortunate that the people of Bangladesh got such a vacuous leader, like Khaleda Zia, in the opposition party. She is not only illiterate, she is also immature. How can a leader use such a cheap political shot? It is really unthinkable to imagine that such a person could be the Prime Minister of a country. People around her, such as, Mohiuddin and others, who are trying to promote this garbage through this forum, will be Ministers, if Khaleda becomes Prime Minister someday. Can you think about the plights of religious minorities at that time?   After 2001 election, when Khaleda was prime minister and thousands of religious minorities were being brutalized, she was telling the world that perfect religious harmony existed in Bangladesh. She could not even understand that, by doing so, she was giving open license to the perpetrators to continue brutalization of religious minorities. Religious persecution and mayhem continued unabated throughout her tenure. She must be proud of her previous record; otherwise she would not play the same card again.   Jiten Roy --- On Wed, 10/12/11, GT International <gti82@hotmail.com> wrote: From: GT International <gti82@hotmail.com> Subject: RE: [mukto-mona] Breakling News: What's PM's faith?

[ALOCHONA] Re: Low and disorder....

Extra-judicial Killings

Law-enforcers' story questioned

Terming law enforcers' accounts on extrajudicial killings as story, National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Chairman Prof Mizanur Rahman yesterday questioned the credibility of their version.

"After crossfire incidents, we repeatedly hear same type of stories which create confusion among the people. It is not good for the society," the rights body chief told a meet the press programme.

Crime Reporters' Association of Bangladesh organised the event titled "Role of crime reporters to protect human rights" at Dhaka Reporters Unity, with its president Parvez Khan in the chair.

"Rab members are adequately trained. So why do people die from their gunshots and why the bullets don't hit their legs?" he posed the questions.

Law enforces often claim that they open fire in self-defence. Though it is legal, there is a specific definition of it. All the claims about self-defence are not legal, he mentioned. "Only the judiciary can decide which is legal or not. Let them take a decision on this."

Lawmen even try to legalise an extrajudicial killing citing one's previous criminal record, which is not legal either, added Mizanur.

Regarding persons going missing, the NHRC chief said right to life is the topmost basic right of the people. In a democratic country it is not acceptable that a person will go missing.

The state has to take the responsibility regardless of whether it finds them out or not. There is nothing to play hide and seek in this regard, he maintained.

Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police Benazir Ahmed pointed to lack of manpower in the judiciary for a huge backlog of cases. He suggested enhancing the capacity of the judiciary by 10 times to minimise the case backlog.

Additional Director General of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) Col Majibur Rahman, Director of its legal and media wing Commander M Sohail and Chief Executive of Bangladesh Human Rights Foundation Alena Khan addressed the programme, among others.

Law, order better than any time in decade: Sahara

The home minister, Sahara Khatun, on Wednesday claimed that law and order now was better than any time in a decade.

Sahara said this at a press conference after a meeting of an inter-ministerial task force composed of home affairs, foreign affairs and law ministries on brining back home the convicted accused in the Mujib murder case hiding in other countries.

Asked about an increasing number of cases of disappearance and secret killing, she repeated her speech and said, 'According to reports of the mass media at home and abroad, Bangladesh's law and order is better than any time in 10 years.'

the law minister, Shafique Ahmed, said, 'How has the number of such incidents increased? Such incidents also took place in the past. We get to know of them as such incidents are now reported in the mass media.'

As for allegation of involvement of the law enforcement agencies in such disappearance and secret killing as an alternative to extrajudicial ways such as 'crossfire,' she said that there were law enforcement agencies, courts and the home ministry to look into such allegations. Aggrieved people could easily get justice by way of laws, she added.

As for bringing back home six fugitive convicts of the Mujib murder case, Shafique said that the government was making all-out efforts, including resorting to legal means, to bring back home Noor Chowdhury from Canada and Rashed Chowdhury from the United States.

He said that foreign and home affairs ministry were working to bring back the two convicts.Shafique, however, said that the government was yet to identify the whereabouts of the remaining four convicts as they were moving about. Of the 12 convicted, five were hanged to death, one died abroad and six others are in hiding.

Asked about the probable complications in bringing back home any condemned convicts from Canada as the law there does not allow execution, Shafique said that they could appeal to the Appellate Division, seek review of the High Court judgement and seek presidential clemency.

[ALOCHONA] This reminds me of how NEWS of vandalism by AL goondas get manufactured

    I am definitely not a chhatro league fan, but this reminds me of how the BNP/Jamaat supporters manufacture news of mayhem by the AL goonda.  The cyberspace is full of their propaganda. The AL leadership is too stupid to do anything about countering it. Meanwhile, civic life is just about unbearable for ordinary citizens.

 

 

 

FOCUS: Reporter Incites DC Riot to Write About It

Dylan Stableford, The Cutline/Y!News

Stableford begins: "A reporter for the American Spectator - who says he 'infiltrated' a group of Washington, DC, protesters 'in order to mock and undermine' their cause in his magazine - claims he helped incite a riot at the National Air and Space Museum on Saturday afternoon and was pepper-sprayed in the process."
