Blogger Ahmed Rajib Hyder(Shovon), writing under the pseudonym “Thaba baba”, was known for his strong anti-religion rhetoric and his equally vocal opposition to the “Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islam” party, which aided and actively participated in the genocide of Bengali population alongside the Pakistani army in the liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971.

In Bangladesch haben die Auseinandersetzungen um das Vorgehen der Justiz gegen führende Mitglieder der islamistischen Partei Dschamat-E-Islami in den vergangenen Tagen mindestens 61 Menschenleben gefordert.

The following is an account of various clashes between Jamaat and Shibir activists and law and security forces (Police, BGB) over the last few days, after the sentencing of Delwar Hossein Sayeedee by the International Crimes Tribunal. Several reports are available in English, but most of them are very concise, and a lot of the incidents have not been reported.

While vetting out the site to execute a plan of murdering 10 Islamic Scholars of Jamia Ahmedia Madrassa (Islamic School) in the town of Sholoshohor, Chittagong a Shibir activist was apprehended. The culprit's name is Mahmudul Hasan who was caught with a list of those 10 Islamic scholars.

Selon un article du 28 février sur www.rfi.fr, l’internationalité du ‘tribunal international des crimes’ du Bangladesh est contestable sous le prétexte que ce n’est pas supervisé par l’ONU. Ce commentaire est lourdement erroné.
