  • Seventh night ends in #SHAHBAGH with frustration, violence follows

    The main opposition BNP shamelessly termed the SHAHBAGH protest a stage-managed event of the govt. The Jamaat-ally also asked the protestors to raise the other significant issues too. It was the last incident of the 7th night to put the protestors into fury. Until 2am Tuesday, people joined the gathering with enthusiasm and at 6am,…

  • Memorable SIXTH DAY of #OCCUPY #SHAHBAGH

    The day started with a good news: though late, the govt has decided to AMMEND the International Crimes Tribunal Act 1973 to ensure EQUAL RIGHTS for the victim and defendant in appealing against a verdict. The draft also proposes a 60-day timeframe within which the Appellate Division will have to complete the petition. The draft…

  • #SHAHBAGH passes fifth night over war crimes trial

    Shahbagh protestors witness another morning on the streets under the open sky on Sunday–sixth day in a row since February 5 afternoon to protest against the life term of butcher ABDUL QUADER MOLLAH, the Jamaat assistant secretary general. The agitating people want Quader be given CAPITAL PUNISHMENT for the heinious acts he had committed during…

  • The rise of ‘#Occupy #Shahbagh’

    I was forwarded an SMS by one friend around 3:30pm about the protest at Shahbagh and I rushed after taking leave from my office! On the way I saw very few vehicles on the street, but many rickshaws as usual, due to the shutdown called by Jamaat against the tribunal and its verdicts. Well, people…

  • কাদের মোল্লার বিচারের রায় ও সংশ্লিষ্ট বিষয়

  • HRW report on Bangladesh, war crimes trial and Prothom-alo’s bullshit editorial

    The Prothom-alo has done something too bad today in its one of the two editorials — opinion and preference of an editor — on the HRW report on HUMAN RIGHTS situation and stressed that this report mustn’t be BINNED like the previous instances rather the govt take into cognisance the observations and suggestions put forth…

  • Dhaka’s rowdy auto-rickshaws

    There are only 14300 registered cng-run auto-rickshaws in Dhaka and most of those are plying on the streets faster than rickshaws and for that, have made some people in urgency relief while these vehicles can also accomodate at least four passengers. Now when their metering system is overlooked by the ministry, BRTA and the police…

  • Save the Sundarbans, shift Rampal coal-power plant

    The govts of Bangladesh & India have started officially the work of Rampal power plant by holding the first-ever meeting of the joint venture company in Dhaka. The Bangladesh govt seems to be pleased to show India that it can keep its words. The Daily Star has again done the job of a mouthpiece of…

  • GOD, you favour the MEN, shit!

    Many women are ignored by the GOD for being woman while they’re raped or harassed by the men; later, the PM, the opposition chief, POLICE & COURTS go soft towards the men; the media and the people spread the incident and protest, but can’t do the GOD’s job. And my frustration is: most men learn…

  • By inviting US, BNP’s Khaleda Zia rapes Bangladesh

    The Washington Times opinion under the name of Begum Khaleda Zia gives me the impression of listening to a series of complaints from a “mathamota” razakar (meerzafar) against the Awami League’s Sheikh Hasina regime spoken to its “pir” and begging to be brought to power in exchange of an unlimited gang-rape. [NOTE: Since she can’t…

  • Jamaat-Shibir-BNP alliance wants civil war

    It now seems inevitable that the opposition lords won’t stop until the trial of the identified war criminals is scrapped and the JAMAAT-BNP leaders released. The Jamaat-Shibir has been fighting on the issue against the state for the last one year, and recently the BNP led by KHALEDA ZIA has joined them on the streets…

  • Jamaat-Shibir to face the music for violence to stop war crimes trial

    It’s good to see the Dhaka police chief declaring war against Shibir cadres who launched massive sudden-attacks on police personnel and cars, public and private transport, and shops in the capital and in over 20 towns Monday morning. The attackers were mostly crazy youths belonging to Jamaat’s student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir and were assisted…

  • মালিক-সরকারের খামখেয়ালীতে শ্রমিক খুন, বিচার করবে কে?

    ব্রাজিলের নাইটক্লাবে আগুনে ২০০ জনের মৃত্যু, পদ্মা সেতু নিয়ে হাসিনার আশ্বাস, বিএনপিকে সংসদে না আসার জন্য দূষলেন রাষ্ট্রপতি, ফখরুলকে বিরক্ত করিও না ইত্যাদি হইলো ডেইলি স্টার, প্রথম আলো, বিডিনিউজ২৪ডটকমের কয়েকটি বিশেষ সংবাদ যা বিশেষ গুরুত্বসহকারে শোভা পাচ্ছে তাদের ওয়েবসাইটে। অথচ মোহাম্মদপুরের স্মার্ট গার্মেন্টসের সাত শ্রমিক নিহত হবার পর সেখানে যখন নানা অনিয়ম-দুর্নীতি-গাফিলতি ধরা পড়ছে সেখানে…

  • Smart Export Garment Ltd, BGMEA, GOVT are you ‘smart’?

    You’ve set up the export-oriented factory on the first floor of a two-storey building in the congested Beribandh area of Mohammadpur with garages and a backery on the ground floor, you’ve given narrow space for movement, you don’t have any fire fighting equipment at the workplace, you don’t have efficient security guards and officials who…

    ফৌজদারি কার্যবিধি অনুসারে সকল নাগরিক তার আত্মরক্ষার জন্য ব্যবস্থা নিতে পারেন। সেই আইনের আওতায় অনেকেই বন্দুক/পিস্তল লাইসেন্স করে সাথে রাখেন বা দেহরক্ষী রাখেন। বর্তমান প্রেক্ষাপটে নারী ও শিশু ধর্ষনের ঘটনা, এসিড সন্ত্রাস, রাস্তাঘাটে-গনপরিবহনে-পড়াশুনা ও পেশাস্থলে যেভাবে যৌন নিপীড়ন বাড়ছে তাতে করে আক্রমনকারীদের উপর আক্রমনাত্মক হয়ে উঠা ছাড়া আমি কোন উপায় দেখিনা। পুলিশ এসে ব্যবস্থা নেবার…

  • Food Safety: obstacles & measures

    To curb the extent of adulteration in foods, the govt has to take the prime initiative — strengthening the guidelines and increasing the punishment for such heinious acts. Then the govt will have to publicise the steps through mass media by engaging journalists and social workers. The govt offices and agencies concerned should also keep…

  • Bangladesh: Human rights in 2012

    Dhaka-based Odhikar (Bangla version of rights) like the previous years has released a shocking picture of Bangladesh’s human rights stature for 2012. The scenario described is only opposed by the govt, law enforcement agencies and some pro-govt people and groups. The report says the rights situation has not improved much than the previous years, when…

  • Kalpana Chakma won’t be back!

    Yeh, officially, she is “missing” or gone in the wind!

    Realtors have warned Rajuk not to interfere in its ongoing fair in Dhaka, means there could be some unauthorised plots/apartments sold in the fair like the previous days.

  • The ‘best’ election formula

    :> The next general elections can never be held under a non-party interim government, we (the EC) are efficient to ensure a fair one — under my leadership. Some of you from the opposition may be included in the interim govt. Don’ worry dear rival! Trust me dear, it’d be better than those army-baked apolitical…

  • SayedeeLeaks!

    Since long, I’ve been waiting for evidence on Sayedee’s fraudulent activities regarding Islam. This war crimes suspect is currently under trail at the International Crimes Tribunal for his involvement in crimes against humanity in Pirojpur during the Liberation War of 1971. Now I’ve started to get many information regarding Sayedee, thanks to the online campaigners…

  • War Crimes Tribunal to get a boost 😀

  • Justice for ‘killers’!

    The international community has recently turned their eyes into Bangladesh’s holding the trial of top leaders of controversial Islamist party Jamaat-e-Islami and two BNP leaders for their well-known involvement in genocide, rape, arson and looting in 1971 during the war against Pakistan occupation army. Thus, it can be observed that the war was not literally…

  • Boycott Jamaati products-services

    Dear friends, we are here to raise awareness against the businesses owned by razakars under the umbrella of Jamaat-e-Islami and other allies in politics. We believe that these anti-Bangladeshi elements must be cornered in every sphere and eliminated in phases. Alongside the war crimes trial, we the people should also do something effective. We demand…

  • We want justice for 1971 genocide

    The term justice means a lot to me. It refers to punishment for an offence committed. On the 41st anniversary of Victory against Pakistani forces, we can’t feel complacence today since the collaborators or dalals – commonly identified as razakars – are not eliminated, rather are in key positions in the country’s politics, business and…
