You clearly have a comprehension problem. At no point I defended Saidee in my post, because I don't know if he has committed the crimes for which he was being accused or even those he may have not been accused of. My position has been of one questioning the fairness and the intention of the trial itself. If BAL was really against Jamat and the true flag bearer of liberation, why didn't they pursue these trials last time they were around. Why did they agree to political alliance with Jamat in 90s? Those are legitimate questions any neutral individuals should be asking. I pointed out that the very fact the judges of a supposedly independent tribunal had the same verbiage in their judgement that BAL had been parroting, strongly indicate a bias. That puts a question on their neutrality and fairness of the trial. Hence any judgement from such judicial system is highly questionable. Any action from such biased judicial system is questionable.
It was you who got triggered and assumed I am defending the cases against him and started with your accusations.
Please go and re-read my original post.
You are accusing me for being fixated on my opinion that trial was not fair. Yet you have not produced a single shred of evidence to prove the judicial system was unbiased and independent. Instead you are trying to sell me on Saidee's crime by referring to the crimes he was proven guilty of. I ask you a simple question - if your judicial system is considered biased and politically motivated, if due process has not been followed - where is the credibility of the judgements coming out of such institutions?
I can cite international, independent and reputable sources who have expressed the same concern over the independence and fairness of the judicial process. Do you have any response to these grave accusations?
The following is a quote from Human Rights Watch's Asia director and an excerpt from the HRW article -
"Convictions can only be upheld when there is proof beyond a reasonable doubt, yet in this case there are grave doubts about the evidence after the court so strongly criticized the prosecution,” said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “In death penalty cases the authorities must adhere to the highest standards.”
"....
As in other cases before the ICT, the defense was arbitrarily limited in its ability to submit evidence, including witnesses and documents. Defense lawyers were allowed to produce only three witnesses to counter 14 separate charges. Lawyers were threatened orally with a 50 lakh taka (approximately US$64,000) fine when they asked the judges to review their order limiting witnesses. The court denied the defense the opportunity to challenge the credibility of prosecution witnesses by rejecting witnesses’ earlier statements that were inconsistent with their trial testimony. The refusal to allow the accused to challenge the credibility of prosecution witnesses has been a hallmark of trials before the ICT."
(New York) – Bangladeshi authorities should immediately set aside the death penalty against Mir Qasem Ali, a senior member of the executive committee of opposition party Jamaat-e-Islaami, and order a new trial that meets international fair trial standards, Human Rights Watch said today.

I know very well what your responses to this would be. You will continue to be in denial.
And yes, you did accuse me of being a Razakar. In BD everyone knows Razakar sympathizer and Razakar are synonymously used with the sole intention of subduing and cancelling anyone with a opposing perspective. Now don't try to hide your action with word play trickery.
I am not wasting a minute more on this discussion.
