An Islamist politician convicted of war crimes during Bangladesh's 1971 war of independence from Pakistan has been hanged at a prison in Dhaka.

Mohammad Kamaruzzaman of the Jamaat-e-Islami party was found guilty of genocide by a domestic war crimes tribunal in May 2013.

Kamaruzzaman, 62, was convicted of crimes including the killing of at least 120 unarmed farmers.
He had refused to seek clemency from Bangladesh's president.

Kamaruzzaman was the third most senior figure in Jamaat-e-Islami, an Islamist opposition party.
He is the second war crimes suspect in Bangladesh to be executed.

In December 2013 Abdul Kader Mullah, assistant secretary general of Jamaat-e-Islami since 2010 and a former editor of an Islamist newspaper, was hanged after being found guilty on five of six counts of crimes against humanity and war crimes.

Of the others who have been convicted:
Former Jamaat-e-Islami leader Ghulam Azam died in custody in 2014

Former Bangladesh Nationalist Party MP and Jamaat-e-Islami leader Motiur Rahman Nizami is awaiting the death sentence after being convicted in October 2014

Former Jamaat-e-Islami MP Delwar Hossain Sayeedi has been sentenced to life in jail

Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary-General Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid was condemned to death in July 2013

Former Bangladesh Nationalist Party minister, Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury was sentenced to death in October 2013

Twenty-one members of the condemned man's family, including his wife and son, visited him in prison on Saturday afternoon.

There was tight security outside the jail ahead of the condemned man's execution, with large demonstrations and counter-demonstrations expected in support of and against the hanging.

Bloodiest episode
Kamaruzzaman was the assistant secretary-general of the Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami party. He was found guilty in May 2013 of masterminding what the prosecution described as one of the bloodiest single episodes in the independence war.

The war crimes tribunal heard that he played a prominent role alongside Pakistani troops in the "slaughter" of at least 120 unarmed farmers in the remote northern village of Sohagpur which subsequently became known as the "village of widows".

Three women widowed as a result of the killings testified against Kamaruzzaman during his trial. They described how he led Pakistani troops to the village and helped the soldiers line up and execute the farmers.

Kamaruzzaman was found guilty on five out of seven charges of crimes against humanity, including the murder and torture of unarmed civilians. His lawyers insisted that he had not received a fair trial.

Bangladesh independence war, 1971
Civil war erupts in Pakistan, pitting the West Pakistan army against East Pakistanis demanding autonomy and later independence

Fighting forces an estimated 10 million East Pakistani civilians to flee to India

In December, India invades East Pakistan in support of the East Pakistani people

Pakistani army surrenders at Dhaka and its army of more than 90,000 become Indian prisoners of war

East Pakistan becomes the independent country of Bangladesh on 16 December 1971

Exact number of people killed is unclear - Bangladesh says it is three million but independent researchers say there were up to 500,000 fatalities
 
Bangladesh hangs another pro Pakistan Jamat leader one day before Pak team's arrival in Bangladesh

I don't know the ground realities in Bangladesh but hearing news about another Jamati leader hanged today for 1971 war crimes. The Pakistani foreign ministry has shown its displeasure on the execution of Jamat e Islami leader (Source Geo News). On the other hand Pak cricket team to leave tonight for Bangladesh. Looks like the Bangladesh doesn't care about cricket but to show the word how much they hate Pakistan.

I hope everything goes well.
 
Its an internal issue for them

We can express displeasure but it should remain at that and nothing more
 
This guy was responsible for massacre in sohagpur, which is now called widow's village. Three of the widows had testified against him. These trials should have been done within the first decade of Bangladesh independence. Otherwise there is huge risk of civilian conflict.

Do you really think that the International Crimes Tribunal in Bangladesh was set up just to show the world how much Bangladesh hates Pakistan?

I did not say a word about International Crimes Tribunal. I made a thread about Pak cricket team's tour to Bangladesh but mods merged it with other thread.
 
I read Pak tour is in doubt..?

Good for Bangladesh. Pakistan needs to follow suit and prosecute Mullahs who sow the seeds of hatred.

The "International" Court standards were always very low, the Skype scandal being one example of it....

It is of course hardly believable that a 19 or 20 or 23 year old was the organizer of such a ruthless death squad such as Al Badr. ...

http://progressbangladesh.com/may-you-rest-in-peace-father/

Inna-Lillahi-Wa-Inna-Ilaihi-Rajiun. May you Rest In Peace father.

Sheikh Hasina has successfully killed my father. Just because her father was murdered, she thinks everyone else’s father has to be murdered too. Framing an innocent 19 years old boy as Greater Myemensingh’s chief organizer of Al-Badr, then torturing him for several years and finally hanging him to death for the crimes that were surely committed by someone else is worse than the crimes themselves. What this Witch has done to my father will never go unpunished.

For more than four years you have suffered their torture but it wasn’t enough for them, they had to take your life. Sorry ABBU for not being able to save you from their tyranny. As a son I never expected a better father than you were. You will always remain as the greatest hero of my life. You were not only an amazing father but also a respected Islamic leader who has been loved by millions of people throughout the world. Everyone dies, no one lives forever but everyone isn’t lucky enough to be remembered as a martyr when they are gone. You will be in our hearts for eternity and there is no power which can take that away. This is not the end of you, as there are hundreds of thousands of people who follow your footsteps and a lot more will follow in the future. No matter what, finally you are out of this hellhole and I believe that men like you go to heaven after their death. Not only us family members but everyone who had the opportunity to know you are heartbroken because of your departure from this world. However, we are happy for you as well because you are in a much better place right now than you were.

Lastly, thanks a lot to all the lawyers who have tried their level best to save my father even at the very last second, the Jamaat and Shibir members who have risked their lives to protest against this tyranny, and also everyone else who has been with us through their prayers and supporting our family in various ways. We are extremely sorry for the lives that have been sacrificed trying to protest for my father. I know thanking you would not be enough and to be honest we can’t even repay the debt we owe you but I can assure you one thing, none of your sacrifices will go in vein. We will always be grateful to you guys for what you have done.
 
The judiciary hangs the Islamists in courts, as the Islamist (mobs) lynch the atheists on the streets...
 
Appalling

Although the Bangladesh government can be accused of culling the opposition, if the crime was indeed committed, the punishment indeed fits the crime
 
I pine for the day a Jamaatia chief dangles from the neck in Pakistan too. Just picture it: Munawwar Hasan, hands tied behind back, hood on head, swaying in the breeze.
 
*comes to dealing with these JI types. Seem to have the right
 
war crimes of 1971 are propagated in BD as holocaust & similarly denials of this propaganda have to deal with the punishments

That's all well and good but more pressing concern is the roaming ISIS follower band killing secularists. They need to be hunted down and put down like stray dogs

Hunting down stray dogs can cause real heartache if done without thought to the consequences.

It's a specialist job and not one that should be selected by pressing a button from someone living in a different time zone.
 
Good for hasina and Bangladesh. These monsters should have been hanged long time ago. But it's better late than never.
 
Haseena will not survive for long, her end is near. She is digging her own grave.
 
Great news.

They should all be hanged, quickly. What is Pakistan's reasoning to oppose this? Bangladesh suffered a gruesome genocide at the hand of these monsters and they have every right to avenge that.

That doesn't necessarily mean she should walk away from this because she might get killed by the scumbag followers of these war criminals.

She is a brave women who has already been attacked once by these low life thugs, I don't think she fears death.
 
Ive read articles on this guy, and from what it seems he was an extremly vile for his actions.

However what baffles me is how Bangladesh had allowed this man into main stream politics. Why was he brought to justice after such a long time?

Because the other war criminals, mukti bahni people are now judges and government officials, killing their political opponents, things can turn around in future and roles will be changed.
 
The whole process is bizarre ,nobody believes judges are free to give any order they want .Jamat was not confident about the transparency of the process from beginning ,supporters of this tribunals too start strike whenever any accused is given any punishment other then death penalty ,not only this they accuse government influence for this .This tribunal creating nothing but disbelief on whole system .
 
When the mass murderers are in the government, they are the judges and they are the "witnesses" for the "crime", what else you expect. Just because Zaman had a beard and belonged to a religious party, which happened to be your political opponents, he had to die ???

He was born and raised in what was then Pakistan, he loved his country and wanted to stay united, a great man and BD is the loser by removing him. He loved his new country BD and was elected twice by the people of BD to parliament. Action like this removed one of ( Ugly ) Haseena's opponent but will certainly weaken the country.

In Pakistan a political leader was killed by the judiciary, some 35 years ago and we are still paying the price for that.
 
LOL at the praise for haseena. She asked votes for being an alternative to the fundamentalist BNP, but has been appeasing extremists herself. She has openly said that she will not take responsibility for those who are under attack for being atheists. Her son has called seculars well intentioned but misguided. Bangladesh is now a safe haven for anyone wielding machetes. Doubt Bangladesh would be any worse under BNP. LOL at her blind fans.

Let BD decide what is good for them.Its a sovereign country and not a colony of West Pakistan like in 1971.Pakistanis and Pakistan govt need to accept that BD is a free sovereign country capable of deciding its on course and doesnt need advise from any country.The Pakistan govt rather than issue statements on hangings of War Criminals and Terrorists in other nations,look at its own country and try to put it in order.

They r ofcourse AL's political opponents. But that doesn't change the fact that Nizami, saydee and Kader molla committed heinous crimes in 71 liberation war.

U r upset because of these rapists and Mas murderers are now getting their well deserved punishment and perhaps that's why u aren't thinking logically :srini


Otherwise, u would've known that Bangladesh is a democratic country which has its own legal system and they r well within their rights to punish anyone by following their own legal procedure if they feel the said person was responsible for mass murders. They certainly don't bother about what some Pakistani, Indian or American think about it. Keep winning buddy. :yk


Things can turn around in future and roles will change, lol, keep dreaming buddy. It's not gonna happen :misbah


To be honest these criminals should consider themselves extremely lucky to even get a trial. Lol.

This. Bangladesh needs to deal with these fundamentalists first. Religion sells very well in a country like Bangladesh.



Murderers like Nizami or sayeedi were elected by the general public in election because they were quite successfull in portraying themselves as the protector of Islam.


No wonder some people even saw the Face of sayeedi on the surface of the moon after his death :srini


How would u hunt down these ISIS followers. Few criminals who were captured by the public when they were attempting to run away from the scene after killing a blogger were teenagers.


They were from some madrasas who didn't even know the blogger personally. They agreed to kill that blogger because they were told that the said blogger was an enemy of Islam and they would go to heaven if they could kill the blogger. If this is the situation where even young kids don't hesitate to kill an unknown person in the name of religion then how would u actually stop them.

Both BD and Pakistan would have been a much peaceful country if it werent for the Saudi funded extremist breeding madrasahs

We have many "traitors" in Pakistan who wanted united India to stay as it was and were against the creation of Pakistan, but they were never and should never had punished for that. They are still in politics, running political parties, winning and losing elections and making the provincial government. Some have been more loyal to India than to Pakistan but still living freely in Pakistan and there are airports and universities after their names. Similar people are hanged by the Kangaroo courts in Bangladesh, truly the most condemnable act in recent south Asian history, shameful.

Its interesting more Indians are defending Haseena than Bengalis.

When dust will settle , in 20 years from now, history will remember Haseena as the one who, for his own personal agenda and to make India happy, derailed the country from what promised to be a progressive, democratic and tolerant country a to a messy, polarized and always in a civil war situation society, eversince.

India has 150mn Bengalis.Many of who came to India in 1971.

Btw its interesting that Pakistanis are more interested about how the BD PM should act and how BD should progress.If only they had shown the same concern for their own country.

Yes, Pakistani courts did commit a judiciary murder 37 years ago, many of ZAB's opponents celebrated at that time, exactly the way Haseena's supporters and Indians are doing now, but history proved it to be a regrettable step in Pak history ( I never been a fan of ZAB and PPP, but what was wrong, was wrong ). I'm sure Bengalis will regret this judiciary killing and Haseen will be remember as a villain in BD history.

Secondly, these war criminals aren't getting punished just because they wanted to be with west Pakistan, they r getting punished because they were actively involved in killing, raping and torturing the innocent civilians.


Many biharis also had a Pro Pakistan stance during the liberation war. R they getting hanged too? No they aren't.


If u really expected that Bangladeshis would just sit back and do nothing to the people who were actively involved in killing thousands of Bangladeshis, raping hundreds of women then I've to say that u were living in a lala land. Get back to the real world pls.

That's a good question. Ideally they should've been punished for their crimes immediately after Bangladesh gained independence and that was the plan. The Collaborators Act was drafted in 1972 by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman to try those who committed atrocities during the war but as with any new country nation-building got in the way and then Mujib was assassinated in 1975. Ziaur Rahman (husband of Khaleda Zia) seized power through a military coup soon after and, as part of a wider campaign to make Bangladesh more Islamic, he repealed the Collaborators Act and facilitated the rehabilitation of many war criminals who happened to be religiously inclined into Bangladeshi society for his own political gains.

This long delay in executing justice has allowed supporters of Nizami and co. to distort history and now to a lot of people they were saints who did nothing wrong and in their minds their leaders are being targeted simply for being devout Muslims. Unfortunately this will cause further civil unrest between moderates/liberals/secularists and the more devout Muslims. Bangladesh is already at a crossroads with regards to identity.

As for Hasina. She is no saint either. She was more than happy to share the platform with Nizami in the past and almost got into an alliance with Jamaat to topple the BNP in the 90s. She is an opportunist like any other politician.

Yeah unfortunately for Bangladesh it seems like Sajeeb Wazed and Tarique Rahman will be succeeding their mothers as leaders of the Awami League and BNP respectively. One is clueless (Bilawal Bhutto/Rahul Gandhi type who has been away from the country since his teenage years) and the other is a criminal godfather. Luckily they both have one teenage daughter each who are both born and raised and currently live abroad so one hopes that that is the end of dynastic politics in Bangladesh.

Milosevic and Karadzic also loved their country and wished to stay united, do they get a free pass too?

Or do they have to have a beard and uphold the tenets of Islam in order to be glorified? Even if they are filthy rapists with blood on their hands.
 
The irony can't be more funnier.

A few posters always want the Indian military who commit crimes against humanity in Kashmir to be punished severely. Which is completely fair and anyone who commits human rights violations must surely be held accountable for their terrible actions regardless of whether he is an Indian or Chinese or whatever his nationality he is.

However all that humanitarian spirit goes out of the window when it comes to Pak military or pro Pakistani leaders who committed genocide in Bangladesh getting punished for their past actions. It's almost as if a honest leader has been martyred unjustly.

Begs the question whether the concern in Kashmir by a few is on humanitarian grounds or nationalistic grounds.

Turkey withdraws Bangladesh ambassador after execution of Islamist: Erdogan

ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey has withdrawn its ambassador to Bangladesh, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday, following the execution of an Islamist party leader this week for genocide and other crimes committed during a 1971 war of independence.

Bangladesh on Wednesday hanged Motiur Rahman Nizami, head of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, for genocide, rape and orchestrating the massacre of intellectuals during the war.

International human rights groups say the procedures of the Bangladeshi tribunal that sentenced Nizami fell short of international standards. The government rejects that, and the trials have been supported by many Bangladeshis. In Turkey, there have been a handful of protests against the execution in recent days.

The trial duration is 4 to 6 years.. not really godfather like. . And they are hanged for murder loot and rape... the n highest penalty applicable by the law is the natural outcome for such heinous crimes and any civilized country

this sums it up.

could the court and tribunal process be more transparent and fair? yes, maybe. but this is south Asian courts we are talking about and there will always be shortcomings.

but there is no doubt about the horrific acts of those genocidal monsters. It is not a Pak vs BD issue or even an religious conservatism vs progressive issue. It is just basic humanitarian issue.

I do not like Hasina or her government but I can commend her good work on this.

But Jamat (BD) has very strong foreign influence. It is evident in the fact that Turkey has already withdrawn her ambassador and Pakistani Jamat started a hashtag #WeAreNizami.
 
Hypocritical of Turkey to withdraw their ambassador. Let see Greek genocide, Assyrian genocide,Armenian Genocide all happened in turkey. They don't allow Germany to recognize Armenian genocide but have problem with Bangladesh punishing war criminals.
 
Indians seem more interested in this issue as compared to Bengalis . After all mukti bani who was called as a RAW baby by former RAW cheif was responsible for this genocide along with their ugly masters

Of course, I'm sure that the Mukti Bahini aren't innocent either. But don't you think that the creation of the rebel army was the natural outcome of the 1971 atrocities against the bengali population?

Of course India helped mukti bahni, who's even doubting that? Who do u think gave shelter to those 10 million refugees and fed them. If we hadn't done that the death toll could've been much higher.



India played a massive role in 71 war in supporting Bangla with training, weapon, medicine and other tactical support. Bangla should always remain greatful to India for that :srini



Pro Pakistani Bengalis and that too in mass number, do entertain us more with such gem pls. Mukti bahni killed pro Pakistani Bengalis during the war who were popularly known as Razakars (members of Razakar, AL badar, AL shams party)



But they weren't killed because they wanted both Pakistan to remain United. They were killed because these Razakars killed, raped, and kidnapped innocent civilians, torched their houses and vandalized their property.

Indians seem more interested in this issue as compared to Bengalis . After all mukti bani who was called as a RAW baby by former RAW cheif was responsible for this genocide along with their ugly masters

Stop embarrassing yourself and for once accept the horrible atrocity that was committed by your army. It's a slap in the face and massive disrespect to all those who died when people like you straight up deny the truth and pass the blame onto others.
