Hasina’s boasting about judicial murder readdressed
Hasina’s boasting
Hasina keeps on boasting in her public discourses about the 27-28 January Judicial murder she had perpetrated in her quench in blood for blood or as also many know the old uncivilized phrase KHUN KA BADLA KHUN. The second degree poodles at huge favor and perks Hasina provided her support for euphemizing the ‘KANGAROO COURT’ ‘POLITICAL TRIAL’ as upholding the ‘rule of law’.
Rule of Law versus Human rights
Death sentence and execution is abhorred in the civilized world. As many as 95 more humanely civilized countries have already abandoned the punishment in their countries. The UN have as well overwhelmingly passed resolution to drop the death sentence not for without good reason but to present their faces not only as civilized ones but also to remain respectful of UNIVESRSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHHTS. The declaration is inherently opposed to any death sentence whatever could be the nature and extent of offence for the simple reason that life can not be given by any human endeavor once death is done to anybody. The rule of law we have in Bangladesh providing capital punishment is a British colonial gift; they have nothing though of that punishment in their own country.
Muslim Law
In Islam there are three alternatives to in case of offences related to capital punishment. One is life for life, two, forgiveness, and three, payment of Kisas or money payable by the offender to the aggrieved party. Many great Muslims have left examples of forgiveness even in this country. I refrain from mentioning such names even though I know of some.
Vengeance
Hasina out of shear vengeance (See Daily Naya Diganta 24 March 2009) made the 15th August 1975 successful mutineers as ordinary ‘killers’ having rightly and lawfully had inherent automatic and provided indemnity by canceling through force of brute majority though not two third as needed being part of the Constitution, in late 1996 Parliament. The opportunist Opposition had let them go with the legally untenable cancellation of the Indemnity, and so the case of ‘Mujib Murder’ remained ab initio had been unsustainable. The frenzied Awami Leaguers forced through the POLITICAL TRIAL (The Ecnomist, 27 November 2009) in the Kangaroo Court (LISA Journal, January- March 2010) through intimidation of the spineless and timid judges of little sign of courage and integrity who all yielded all through Hasina’s dictates for the death sentence. The last bit was orchestrated on the 27th January, 2010.
Future
Future will certainly be on the side of the five executed to death on the 27-28th January mid night in unusual haste, despite worldwide appeals against and protests. Their heroic passing away would be rewritten in history comparable with not only patriot and martyr Khudiram of local variety during the alien rule of this country but also of Joan of Arc, Z.A. Bhutto, etc. who had been victimized and executed to death clearly as judicial murders. Based on the historical experience it is only most likely that both Hasina and Mujib would be left into the dustbin of history for the 15th August mutiny heroes who resurrected the nation and Bangladesh from the ashes of absolutely hateful lone party BKSAL to openness, pluralism and multiparty democracy interwoven with Islamic values, morals and lofty ideals.
