The Supreme Court and the High Court bench of Bangladesh have fixed a date for hail of death reference and appeal in a case on smuggling 10 exchanges loaded with munitions in CUFL quay in Chittagong.
The 10 exchanges full of munitions were seized in April 2, 2004, despite suspected sweats of certain” influential diggings” for their safe passage to ULFA in the presence of its military sect principal Paresh Barua during the Bangladesh Nationalist Party- Jamaat coalition government.
As numerous as 13 others, including Jamaat principal and the also Bangladesh diligence Minister Matiur Rahman Nizami and the also State Home Minister Lutfozzaman Babar, have been doomed to death for smuggling the 10 exchanges.
The exchanges were seized at the quay of the CUFL near the Karnaphuli swash while munitions were being loaded on them for delivery to ULFA.
As numerous as,930 sophisticated arms of different types, 840 rocket launchers, 300 rockets,,020 grenades,,000 grenade- launching tubes,,392 magazines and11.41 million pellets were recovered.
A special court in Chittagong handed the death judgment to Tareq Rahman, son of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, Matiur Rahman Nizami, Jamaat top leader Ali Ahsan Muzahid, Lutfuzzaman Babar and the also chief of the two intelligence agencies, Brigadier General( retd) Abdur Rahim and Major General( retd) Rezzakul Haidar Chy.
The court will also advertise its verdict on Bangladesh Nationalist Party de facto principal Tarique Rahman, staying in London for further than a decade to shirk discipline after conviction for his involvement in the August 24, 2004, grenade attack on Chief Minister Sheikh Hasina leaving the ultimate injured and killing 30 Bangladesh Awami League leaders and activists.
Tareq Zia and Lutfuz Zaman Babar, the paid agents ofInter-Services Intelligence, are appealing against the death judgment in both cases.
Tareq met with’ company in Dubai, before the grenade attack on Hasina, said close associates of Tareq to IANS requesting obscurity.
Following the forthcoming election in 2023, the opposition BNP and its supporter Jamaat-e-Islami have been bogged in fresh contestation.
officers familiar with the disquisition said their extended inquiry set up Chinese establishment NORINCO to have produced the contended seized munitions.
The boat of QC Shipping that carried the illegal consignment to Bangladeshi home is possessed by Pakistan paid BNP leader and war felonious Salauddin Quader Choudhry.
On October 1, 2013,S.Q. Chy was condemned of genocide, killing thousands of Hindus, including fabulous businessman and Ayurvedic legend Nutan Chandra Singha in 1971, who saved several hundred academicians, including Anisuzzaman, Padma Bhushan honoree, and doomed to death by the ICT. He was hanged on November 22, 2015.
” Like the( Hindu) Goddess Durga, this case too has 10 hands, which are veritably strong. veritably influential diggings of the also BNP- led government were involved in it who should be brought to justice with caution,” Chief execution counsel of the case, Kamal Uddin said before the court.
The case documents and judgment have reached the High Court as death reference from the lower court while several cons in the case have filed separate prayers with the HC challenging the before verdict against them.
Fourteen people were doomed to life imprisonment and seven times each under two separate sections of the Arms Act. Two of the condemned, Jamaat Islami Chief( Amir), Matiur Rahman Nizami. Another top Jamaat leader Ali Ahsan Muzahid was doomed to death when condemned in the 1971 war crime trials for genocide and atrocities with Pakistan Army.
Another condemned former top Intelligence functionary Abdur Rahim failed of Covid- 19.
The appeal by those condemned will bring back the focus on the active patronage to munitions and terrorism during the BNP- Jamaat alliance government in 2001 and 2006.
Since the Chittagong arms seizure was followed by the deadly grenade attack on Sheikh Hasina, the also opposition leader during a meeting before a rally of Awami League within five months, an attack that nearly killed Hasina, easily exposes the unholy and coveted alliance Tarique Rahman held with Pak- paid Jamaat to destroy the temporal community and India- Bangladesh fellowship.
Still, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday credited Chief Minister Hasina for taking acceptable way that checked bellicosity in his state.
Lauding Hasina’s sweats, the Assam Chief Minister said crackdown by Hasina’s government on the insurrectionary group ULFA inside Bangladesh has saved Assam.
