Idiots.

Bangladeshis had not forgotten 1971 , we could probably never be .

but ,i suppose most of we just came on to this public forum for a bit of time pass , otherwise it could easy became a forum of "pakistan v/s bagladesh" as it is presently "pakistan v/s india"..

I heard that the Saudis gave Hasina a blasting over this war crimes issue and for criticism of madrassah education so the government is now telling everyone to withdraw cases and shut up about Islamic education.

Yes I have notice big changed on the ground since she came back from the tour. This is what I call reality dose from the Sultan. La-hasina will be cuting her own thorat if Islam come under attack as most people will retalite with iron fist thus it's better for La-hasina and Awami hoodlums to leave Islam and Islamic personality alone and let Islam flourish in muslim land.

No it was not about tour and saudi connection but USA. USA wants to see the tribunal follow all the international standard and non politicised, non biased and only then they will support. They made that loud and clear. So govt is taking time to gather more information on all the international war crime court and other stuffs..
Relax and lay back....

You should sue if you think there is a case. Nobody will stop you doing that or you can even place your case before the war crime tribunal.
This is about individual crime and crime against humanity not about loosing land or loosing 50% of population. Those parts are settled except the crime against humanity. We dont have any bad will for Pakistan and the people of Pakistan is still very friend of the people of Bangladesh. I hope individual like you will not get a ground to have the whole Pakistan bear the stain of 1971 in the future. We want to close the chapter and get out of the shame that we both nationalities are bearing for the last 38 years and wants to come out clean.

Thanks

Well, we got a do our part and let PK decide what to do with some criminals. Atleast PK people will know their true faces before they elect them to parliament.

Atleast one rapist I know of who is the member of this or the previous parliament. The human rights people still hold Noorjahan who were held by him and raped 1000 times. He was not a general at that time but may be a captain

War crime-Case against 36 including Azam, Nizami withdrawn

Govt happy, affirms official trial soon

Thursday May 14 2009 00:11:43 AM BDT

Iftekhar Ahmed, a senior assistant judge of Dhaka Judge''s Court, on Wednesday revoked the summons issued against 36 persons including former Jamaat chief Golam Azam, present Amir Matiur Rahman Nizami, secretary general Ali Ahsan Mohammed Mojaheed, BNP leader Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury(The News Today)

in a war crime case as the litigants withdrew their case.

The plaintiffs in the appeal said since the government was initiating the process to try war crimes in 1971, so they were withdrawing the charges.

The court on Monday summoned the front-ranking leaders of the Jamaat-e-Islami, BNP and others to appear in the court on July 20 to explain why they should not be declared war criminals.

The appeal for the case withdrawal said: "We have decided to withdraw the case considering that the trial would be more rational if it was held under International Crime (Tribunal) Act." "The government has already taken steps for war crimes trial. So the case should be withdrawn." the plaintiff added.

Advocates Liton Mia, Safayet Hossain Sajib and Rajib Ahmed filed the case with Dhaka District Judge''s Court on Nov 13, 2008, a month before the general elections, seeking court orders declaring 36 persons ''war criminals'' and barring them from running elections.

UNB adds: Judge Iftekhar Ahmed took the case into cognisance after its first hearing on Monday and asked the accused to appear before it on May 20 to explain why they should not be declared war criminals.

The plaintiff trio in retracting appeal said as the government is initiating the process of trying war criminals, they decided to withdraw the case.

Talking to reporters, one of the litigants, Adv Liton Mia, said: "As the desires of government and ours are the same-trial of war criminals-we took this decision."

Referring to State Minister for Law Advocate Qamrul Islam''s recent statement that the war criminals would be tried under special tribunal, he said they are confident that war-crime trial would take place.

He said their case might hamper the trial process of war criminals so they decided to pull out "in greater interest of the country".

Meanwhile, public prosecutor of the case Advocate Fakir Delwar said, "War-crime case can run not under civil court but under criminal court."

Earlier on Monday, after the court summoned the 36 persons, the State Minister for Law, Advocate Qamrul Islam, said any individuals being "overenthusiastic" should not file case concerning the war criminals as the government move to hold the trial is at the final stage.

The 32 other defendants include Jamaat''s senior central leaders Abdus Subhan, AKM Yosuf, Muhammad Kamaruzzaman, Abdul Quader Molla, Mir Kashem Ali, Delwar Hossain Saydee, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Barrister Korban Ali and Advocate Ansar Ali, and former BNP lawmaker Abdul Alim.

Qamrul thanks private litigants for withdrawing their suit against war criminals; How civil court took the case into cognizance, issued summons has to be investigated, he said.

State Minister for Law Advocate Qamrul Islam Wednesday expressed satisfaction as the private litigants withdrew their war-crime case filed against 36 persons, including the entire hierarchy of Jamaat-e-Islami.

"I am happy and thank the plaintiffs as they withdrew the case showing their confidence in the government''s initiatives to try the war criminals," he told newsmen in his immediate reaction after the three advocates retracted.

Replying to a question whether the civil court can issue summons upon war criminals, the minister said: "I was surprised when the civil court issued the summons."

He also said it will have to be investigated how the civil court took the case into cognizance.

He said government would welcome the three plaintiffs if they want to help state initiative to try war criminals providing any information and documents.

The state minister said confusion created among people about the trial of the war criminals would be removed following the withdrawal of the individuals'' suit.

Reaffirming government''s strong determination to put the war criminals to trial, he said war criminals would be tried under the International Crime (tribunal) Act 1973.

He said the government is progressing carefully in appointing investigating agency and prosecutors and setting up tribunals for holding the trial.

Advocate Qamrul Islam said the trial process of the war criminals would start "soon and all the war criminals would be brought to justice gradually".

He also hoped that the trial of the top war criminals would be completed by next December.

What the hell is going on here? Make your ******* mind.
