Awami League turned Bangladesh justice system into ‘Kangaroo court’

[Md Akmal]

Because they are the troller.

How can any sane person call its govt. "dalal"or "terrorist" etc. on a international forum.

What they gain by it.

We are not sure they are Bangladeshi in reality.

They don't want a peaceful, progressive and sovereign Bangladesh.

"Khash Bangalee", any doubt ? Not Razakar, Al-Shams, Jamatee or Pakistani.

BANGLADESH: Judiciary cannot derogate from the universally recognized principles
March 27, 2012
Share |

Bangladesh celebrates the 42nd year of its independence at the moment while the nation is found to be still debating over the truths of its history related to the war of independence. The country has witnessed manipulation of public institutions, even judiciary, on the part of the successive governments, to distort historical facts in favour of the government.

The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has paid attention to a New Age report titled, "HC asks BOU [Bangladesh Open University] to sue 17 teachers" published on March 7, 2012, and similar reports in other national dailies. According to the report, "The High Court on Tuesday asked Bangladesh Open University authorities to sue, in 24 hours, 17 teachers, three of them of Dhaka University for mentioning in two BOU textbooks that Ziaur Rahman proclaimed independence of the country. The court asked the BOU authorities to sue the teachers on the charge of distorting the history of the liberation war in its textbooks."

According to the report, the court said while hearing the writ petition, "Those who distorted history should be hanged to death as they committed treason." The court asked the two parliamentarians of the party in power to arrange a ship and send the professors to Pakistan. The court said, "We will deal with the issue with an iron hand." It continued, "Those, who were against the creation of Bangladesh, want to show Ziaur Rahman [former president of Bangladesh and husband of the leader of the opposition, Begum Khaleda Zia] in positive light in the history of liberation as he was not an actual freedom fighter". The Court also said, "If they [the professors] are allowed to stay in Bangladesh they would continue to work to make it Pakistan." During a hearing on March 12, 2012, the same High Court Bench reiterated its earlier statement that these professors should be hanged to death, according to the national dailies.

This is absolutely under the jurisdiction of the High Court of Bangladesh to decide, as per the Constitution and relevant laws of the land, as to whether it will hear a given complaint brought before it by an aggrieved party. Yet, the judiciary has fundamental obligation to follow universally accepted norm of presumption of innocence of the defendants for ensuring fair trial recognised in Article 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). No court is entitled to derogate from the principle of equality before law guaranteed as fundamental right in Article 27 of the Constitution of Bangladesh. The court, which declares during only the hearings of the writ petition and before the completion of its verdict that the defendants should be hanged to death, goes against the basic principles of justice.

The Asian Human Rights Commission expresses its serious concern over such derogation on the part of the High Court. The Court cannot use abusive words to any person who is facing a trial because every person has the fundamental right to dignity inherent in him, recognized in Article 10 of the ICCPR. The court’s remarks to send the defendants to another country and hang them to death amount to intimidation, and eventually, a derogation from all the internationally recognized standards and the constitution of Bangladesh.

Judge feels embarrassed to hear BNP leaders’ bail pleas
Staff Correspondent

A High Court judge on Wednesday felt embarrassed to hear the petitions opposition alliance leaders, including the acting BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, filed seeking anticipatory bail in two cases lodged regarding the violence during the general strike on April 29.

Being refused, pro-BNP lawyers appeared in another High Court bench, which also refused to hear the petitions saying that it had no jurisdiction to hear any bail petition. In the afternoon, a two-member bench, passed split orders after hearing a petition filed by Bangladesh Nationalist Party lawmaker AM Mahbub Uddin Khokon, also a Supreme Court lawyer, seeking bail in one of the two cases.

Senior judge of the bench Justice Md Anwarul Haque granted ad interim anticipatory bail to Mahbub till May 9 while the other member Justice Md Mozibur Rahman Miah summarily rejected the petition.

The senior judge later passed an order stating that the bail petition along with the split orders would be sent to the chief justice, Md Muzammel Hossain, for his decision on the constitution of a single-member bench to settle the matter.

In the morning, BNP lawyers, led by former law minister Moudud Ahmed, appeared in the bench of Justice M Siddiqur Rahman Mia and Justice AKM Shahidul Huq seeking bail for the alliance leaders.
The court told Moudud that it had already decided not to hear any matter on Wednesday which was not listed in the day’s cause list.

The court also asked Moudud to move the bail petitions on Sunday.Moudud argued that the court should hear the bail petitions on Wednesday considering them urgent matters as the petitioners, who are ranking leaders of the opposition alliance, were unable to stay in their houses since filing of the cases.

Justice AKM Shahidul Huq felt embarrassed and said, ‘I am sorry.’ It prompted pro-BNP lawyers to walk out of the courtroom and move the bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Sheikh Mohammad Zakir Hossain that also refused to hear the petitions saying that they were not authorised to hear ad interim bail pleas.

When Moudud informed the court that he had heard that the bench was given the authority to hear bail matters, Justice Enayetur Rahim said that they were unaware of the new jurisdiction.
After the two benches had refused to hear the bail petitions, the pro-BNP lawyers held a briefing at the Supreme Court Bar Association where Moudud, also a BNP standing committee member, told journalists that citizens’ right to move court and seek bail were being denied.

Law requires people to appear in court in person to seek anticipatory bail, said Moudud. ‘We think we are in a battlefield as the court premises have been filled with law enforcers both in uniform and in plain clothes.’There is no congenial atmosphere for appearance of BNP leaders in court in the current situation, Moudud added.

Immediately after the briefing, a group of lawyers, led Moudud, met the BNP chairperson, Khaleda Zia, at her house at Gulshan. They discussed the issues for about 45 minutes and left the house.
In the afternoon, senior lawyer Rafique-ul Huq moved the petition filed by Mahbub Uddin Khokon, also a joint secretary general of the BNP, seeking anticipatory bail in the case filed with the Tejgaon police.

Mahbub was among the 44 prosecuted on charges of vandalising and setting on fire a bus near the Prime Minister’s Office during strike hours.After the hearing, the two member-bench, led by justice Md Anwarul Haque, passed split orders.The court also rejected Rafique’s verbal appeal for an order seeking that law enforcers should not arrest or harass Mahbub until the bail petition is settled.

The court, however, asked additional attorney general MK Rahman, who opposed Mahbub’s bail plea, to look into the defence plea until his bail petition is settled.‘I have never seen in the past judges delivering split orders on anticipatory bail matter. It is unfortunate for us,’ Rafique told reporters after the orders.

Rafique sought bail for Mahbub as he was a lawmaker and a member of the Supreme Court Bar Association. He also questioned the authenticity of the case as it was not filed by the driver of the vehicle that was burnt.‘The general strike ended at 6:00pm. Why would the bus be vandalised and burnt at 9:00pm?’ he argued.

Additional attorney general MK Rahman opposed the petition saying that the court should not open the gate to other accused in the case by allowing bail to one.
The police on Sunday night filed two cases — one with the Tejgaon police for setting fire to the vehicle near the Prime Minister’s Office and the other with the Shahbagh police in connection with the home-made bomb blasts at the secretariat during strike hours on April 29.

BNP leaders Fakhrul Islam, MK Anwar, Sadeque Hossain Khoka, ASM Hannan Shan and Mirza Abbas, the party’s joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi and lawmaker Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Annie, the Liberal Democratic Party chief, Oli Ahmed, and the Bangladesh Jatiya Party chairman, Andaleeve Rahman Partha, among others, are accused in both the cases.

Lokman family questions police probe

Wed, Jul 4th, 2012 9:40 pm BdST

Narsingdi, Jul 4 (bdnews24.com) — The family of slain Narsingdhi Municipality Mayor Lokman Hossain is going to question police investigation in the court as the probe report excluded the name of a minister's brother named by them.

The aggrieved family on Wednesday held a press conference at their Basail residence in Narsingdi to announce their decision.

"The chargesheet (based on the investigation report) is flawed and we'll file a petition in the court expressing our reservations against the report," said Kamruzzaman Kamrul, brother of the slain Awami League leader Lokman and plaintiff in the case.

Lokman's mother Mazeda Begum and his wife Tamanna Nusrat Bubli and younger brother Shameem Newaz were present at the press conference.

They demanded inclusion of the name of Salauddin Ahmed Bachchu, the younger brother of Telecommunications Minister Raziuddin Raju, in the chargesheet submitted by police to the court on Jun 24.

Bachchu and 13 others were accused of killing Lokman by the family in a case they had filed.

Lokman was killed on Nov 1 last year when criminals opened fire after storming the local Awami League office. Detective Police Inspector Mamunur Rashid investigated the case for six months before submitting the chargesheet against 12 people.

Apart from Bachchu, the chargesheet also excluded eight others accused in the murder case by the family.

Others relieved of the accusation include Awami League leader Montaj Uddin Bhuiyan, minister Raju's APS Murad, Tareq Ahmed, Nurul Islam, Kazi Alam, Kabir Sarker and Moba Kamruzzaman.

Nine others were charged with the murder in the investigation report.

According to Kamrul, one of the accused Ashraful had confessed under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure that the nine were present at the scene of crime.

"But the chargesheet excluded the names of the mastermind of the killing and instead, included nine other names, who were not accused in the first information report," said Kamrul.

"I'm the complainant. But I was not informed anything about the investigation," he alleged.

Mayor Lokman Sangram Parishad, a platform formed after the killing to press for justice, has convened a rally at Eidgah field in the Narsingdi town on Sunday to protest submission of 'made-up' and 'farcical' chargesheet.

Idune Bhai,

As always 'Lal Salaam' to you for thoroughly exposing Dalal's wrong doing in BD. As you know that RAWamy Malauns can shamelessly pursue anti-social acts only because of the Bharati's unflinching
backup, I guess teaming up with other Bharati's victims in the Sub-continent would be the most accurate step. So, please do little brain storming in that regard, thanks.

like wow dude, you are one hardcore anti awami, your hatered for awami league seems to have taken a fanatical turn, i am not an awami supporter but it doesnt need much to be said about zia'ur rahman, if you watch and listen to his speech he says on behalf of sheikh mujib where were you when bangla bhai and co were running rampant, where were you when the razakars were looting and raping east to west, these folks deserve no human rights they need a trail like Adolf Eichmann

so the awamis are malauns, what are bnps and jamaits? gods gift to mankind?

 

[kalu_miah]

Razakar Jamaat should beg someone with your brilliance to head the Supreme Court. Only then 'Kangaroo Courts' will vanish.

RAWami Leaguer?

 

[baldFish]

RAWami Leaguer?

being anti jamat = rawami leaguer?

 

[kalu_miah]

being anti jamat = rawami leaguer?

Why do I smell an Indian like tendency to jump to conclusion? Let me guess you claimed that one of your parent is from Pakistan and he or she is a Mohajir of Indian origin?

You just started posting in this forum, so I would expect you try to learn the history a bit, before commenting.

This person has a consistent tendency of indiscriminately calling Bangladeshi posters, whoever does not match his narrow world view, as Jamati's and Rajakars, but he himself claims to be neutral and hate both "BAL" and BNP with equal passion and also claims to be a sole authority of history of Bengal region to justify his fantastic opinions. He was incredibly rude with me and said "that you are a stupid Rajakar and you will die a stupid Rajakar", even though I tried to be nice with him many times and never attacked him personally and appreciated his knowledge of history. I do not hide the fact the I support BNP coming back to power so Indian agent RAWami's can be removed from power, that is my fault, it seems.

So when I found this old thread, I found his comment from 2 years ago quite interesting and just wanted to find out from other members who know more of his history, what is the reason for his puzzling behavior.

That bring us to the question, do you consider yourself as expat Bangladeshi or Pakistani? If the answer is Bangladeshi, do you support any political party? If yes, which one is it?

You have nailed bladFish character right there. Awami League minister killing its own party man and then leaving the killer out of charge sheet claim made by loacal Awami league leaders and current Mayor of Ghorasal. Same way Awami League MP SHaon killed another Awami league activist Ibrahim and got away with that. If this is the case then how ordinary people and opposition will get justice in Bangladesh? Specially when Awami League appointed hooligans and killers as judge.

TIB already says today under Awami League regime Bangladesh judiciary is most corrupt. US report, HRW and civil society in Bangladesh are all saying the same. Here few of indians defending Awami acts and labeling others are making themselves laughing stock.

Lets consider what baldfish is saying above. idune Bhai and others, what can we deduce from the red and bold part in above?

And whatever happened to Ramu and the rest of his Indian troll brigade supporting RAWami's in every thread in every few post, where do they hide now? These Indian's are so crude and idiotic that they cannot even realize how their open support for RAWami League compromises RAWami position among Bangladeshi public, as their support essentially confirms that RAWami's are more important for India than they are for Bangladesh. That is why they are so defensive about RAWami's and so eager to protect them, but that defense gives away their "secret" collusion and relationship, which they need to hide from the world from 1949-today.

SO a new awami fish just popped up here.

Lets list the Awami fishes please.

Typical awami ranting. You should look into becoming an official awami spokeperson, you have
all the talents required for such a job.

so the awamis are malauns, what are bnps and jamaits? gods gift to mankind?

Yes compared to Awami munafiqs , BNP and JI are Allah(swt)'s gift.

Lets list the Awami fishes please.

There are many here, I don't want to hurt their feelings. But this guy seem to be an extreme case.

i consider myself a part of all the three aforementioned. No they arent Mohajirs, they arent from Karachi, they are from Peshawar, settled in Lahore. That being said... the party I support would be any party that would remove the battling begums from power. These two ladies have pushed the country almost to the brink of non existence, it is the labors in the middle east and the local entrepreneurs that are keeping the country alive. I dont get how can one in their sane mind support BAL or BNP I consider these two to be the modern Mir Zafar and Mir Sadek of BD.

You have nailed bladFish character right there.

The way I see it awami and bnp are two sides of the same coin, I just find it flabbergasting that the points which you use to criticize BAL, you dont apply the same on BNP. Classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. I wonder under whos tenure in BD the common man got the justice he deserved?

You BALS and BNPs are so busy criticizing each other such to the point that you have no more time to focus on other things such as development of the country. Its not like the international media had nice things to say about BD during the BNP tenure.

The governments of bd have always been a laughing stock and it is with patronage and support from fanatics like you they go blind with power.

Lets consider what baldfish is saying above. idune Bhai and others, what can we deduce from the red and bold part in above?

And whatever happened to Ramu and the rest of his Indian troll brigade supporting RAWami's in every thread in every few post, where do they hide now?

why blame the indians, if we cant protect our own country we cant blame someone else from seizing in the opportunity to exploit. First and foremost we must fix ourselves the nation seems to be very divided into awami and bnp camps untill and unless such differences disappear there will not be much improvement, comprende?

Typical awami ranting. You should look into becoming an official awami spokeperson, you have
all the talents required for such a job.



Yes compared to Awami munafiqs , BNP and JI are Allah(swt)'s gift.

like wow at your zahiliya man! like wow I dont see the others doing politics in the same of religion, please go watch "waaz mehefils of nizami" on youtube what the jamatis did in 1971 were all acts endorsed by Islam right, its people like you and the Jamatis that have taken the nation back into the dark ages. As long as such scumbag political entities the hopes of bangladesh making it big keep diminishing...

good luck!
