Bangladesh
Terrible Suffering in Bangladesh Emanating from Pro-India
Prime Minister Shaikh Hasina
DW, a German public broadcast service, has investigated
human rights violations by RAB (Rapid Action Battalion) set
up by the Dhaka regime with training and equipment from the
USA and other western countries.
The DW report is detailed and supported by two whistle
blowers who defected from RAB.
Families of men executed by RAB have come together to mourn
the deaths of near and dear ones.
Extra-Judicial Executions by RAB are now in the thousands.
Detailed cross referencing by DW indicates torture precedes
the executions. The victims, presumed opponents of the Dhaka
regime, die a slow death. After being shot, they are left to
bleed to death.
The report notes that the victims are from the opposition
BNP party and the orders are probably coming from Prime
Minister Hasina.
The executioners have been identified and a couple have been
put under US sanctions.
By and large Hasina and RAB remain unchanged. She has been
ruling for more than 14 years and clinging to power
ruthlessly
The Thriving Fascism and the Death of Democracy and Civil
Rights in Bangladesh
by Dr Firoz Mahboob Kamal
The thriving fascism Now fascism with all its brutal
characteristics thrives in Bangladesh. Democracy and basic
civil rights now live only in the graveyard. Hasina enjoyed
enough time, power, and opportunities to show her talents
and good deeds. But she took the other path. She showed her
worst evils and criminal intentions against the people. She
emerged as the worst form of the fascist rulers. Her
government is the perfect showcase of state-run brutality,
autocracy, corruption and misrule, The people of Bangladesh
are closely observing such state-run crimes during her 14
years of long rule.
The state institutions are fully weaponized to suppress and
oppress the people.Hasina stands effectively as the enemy of
the state, the people, the democracy, and the basic human
rights. So, the people no longer believe her as an honest
ruler and a patriot. Hasina also knows her own crimes and
people's anger. So, she has her own strategy against the
people. Therefore, de-empowering the people by taking away
their voting is her key strategy. This is why she has taken
full control of the electoral process. As a result, the
members of the ruling clique can elect themselves through
robbery of people's votes. Such electoral rigging and
robbery took place in elections in 2014 and 2018. Thus, the
people of Bangladesh are deprived of their constitutional
rights to elect their own representatives.
The robbery on votes
To stop free and fair elections, Hasina
has abolished the Caretaker Government (CTG) Formula -the
consensus formula that was endorsed by all parties in 1991.
It was the outcome of a long political struggle. Previously,
the election used to be held by the party in power. Hence
the ruling party enjoyed all opportunities to rig the
election in its favour. Free and fair national elections
have been held on four occasions by the Caretaker Government
since 1991. Because of its success, the political parties in
Pakistan copied the same Bangladeshi CTG system. But while
Hasina came in power in 2008, she abolished it despite
strong opposition from all opposition political parties. She
used a subservient Supreme Court judge named Abul Khair who
abolished CTG formula as non-democratic by a casual remark
in another non-relevant judgement. Thus, he opened avenues
for Hasina to commit electoral rigging. Later, the same
judge was awarded 10 lac Taka from the Prime Minister's
relief fund. That was published in the press. Hasina is not
in a mood to accept her electoral defeat. She understands
that in any free and fair election, she has no chance of a
victory. In previous elections, she was defeated in two
constituencies by even two opposition lightweights. Since
then, she has had tremendous election phobia. Therefore, she
held an election only to rob it. The Election Commission
stands ready only to endorse it as free and fair. The
country's police and judiciary stand silent, as if they have
seen no wrong.In the history of electoral robbery.
Hasina has beaten even the records of the brutal dictators
like Egyptian Abul Fatah al-Sissi and Syrian Bashar al-Asad.
On 30 December 2018, ballots were cast by her police on the
night before the election day. The crime was committed all
over the country. Since the Police as an institution was
complicit in the crime, so no case was registered against
such a grotesque robbery. On that day, the genuine voters
arriving at the polling stations were asked to return home
as their votes were already casted. This was the level of
Hasina's arrogance and fraudulence against the people.
Through such robbery, she could capture 293 parliament seats
out of 300. In fact, she could easily take all 300. In the
2014 election, in 153 seats, there were no electoral booths;
her party candidates were elected uncontested. Even 10
percent of voters didn't cast their votes. This is Hasina's
style of election. And the Election Commission declared it
free and fair. To avoid ratifying such electoral rigging,
the opposition parties boycotted the election in 2014.
The destruction of institutions
Since Hasina captured power
in 2008, she successfully destroyed the electoral system
-the basic institution of democracy. Hence, the people no
longer can exercise their voting rights. Not even the basic
human rights. People arrested, tortured, and killed for even
peaceful protest. Hundreds of Islamist people of the
Hejat-e-Islami Party were killed on 5 May in 2013 in Dhaka
for holding a peaceful rally. She has also successfully
captivated the judiciary. She can hang or jail anybody if
she likes. She easily hanged many leaders of
Jama'at-e-Islami and Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).The
Army and the Police personnels are no more than her private
servants. They protect only her rule, not the people's lives
and their constitutional rights. The media now stands fully
tamed. She has introduced a Digital Security Act to jail any
critique of her government. Criticising her government is
labelled as an anti-state act, hence get arrested and
punished. For protesting the visit of the Indian Prime
Minister, 16 people were killed by the police in the eastern
district of Brahmanbaria. No one was arrested or punished
for that acts of murders. The news on that massacre faced
complete blackout. So, the news couldn't get published in
the print and electronic media.
The state: an institution of terror
The state of Bangladesh runs Death Squads constituted
by Army and Police personnel. This is called RAB -the Rapid
Action Battalion. These are the institutions for terrorising
people to keep them submissive to Hasina's fascist rule.
They run hundreds of extra judicial killings and forced
disappearances. The victims are the anti-government
political activists, journalists, and the intellectuals. The
RAB kidnaps people in dark nights without any court warrant.
The whole country stays hostage to such Death Squads. They
run horrendous torture cells inside the Dhaka cantonment.
Torturing and killing people has become a state-run
enterprise in Bangladesh. Some international media networks
like Deutsche Welle, Al-Jazeera, Netro News published
documentaries on such state-run institutions.The police and
the judiciary torture people in other ways. Hundreds of
thousands of false cases are registered against the
opposition leaders and workers. So, to avoid arrest, they go
underground or leave the country to seek political asylum in
foreign countries. Those who get arrested stay behind the
bars for years without trial. They are also forced to pay
huge amounts of bribes for getting a rightful bail.
Hasina: the viceroy of India
Hasina is not only the worst
form of fascist, corrupt, and anti-Islamic thug, she has
also made Bangladesh a perfect colony of India. She has
given a free corridor to India to access its eastern 7
states. Hasina has given India access to the Bangladeshi
ports. The country is the captive market of India. Most of
the goods in a Bangladesh shop and in a household are
Indians. Most vehicles like buses. trucks, scooters,
bicycles come from India. Since about 10 million
Bangladeshis live overseas, the per capita income and the
purchasing power of a Bangladeshi is higher than an Indian.
India can't leave such a competition-free captive market.
The market of Indian goods in Bangladesh is larger than the
combined market in several populous Indian states like West
Bengal, Assam, Bihar, and Orissa.
To protect such Indian economic and security interests,
Hasina works as the viceroy of the ruling clique of Delhi.
So, India will do everything to protect her rule. They are
ready to fight even a war-as fought in 1971. Therefore,
fighting against Hasina is indeed fighting against
India.Hasina was installed through a rigged election in 2008
by a joint conspiracy of the USA, the UK and India to
bulldoze Islamic resurgence in a country of 180 million. She
was taken as a partner in the war on Islam. This is why when
the Islamists in Bangladesh faced judicial and genocidal
murder, these conspiratorial powers stated silent. Now she
continues to enjoy full support of India, China, and Russia.
Because these countries earn billions of dollars in the name
of different development projects in Bangladesh. The Indian,
the Chinese, and the Russian companies pay millions of
dollars as kickbacks to Hasina and her cronies to get the
contracts.The next parliament election is in 2024.
Hasina is preparing for another robbery on people's votes.
She can't think of losing it. If she is out of power, she
can't escape the punishment for her numerous murderous
crimes. So, for her own survival, she has no other option
but to launch another robbery on people's constitutional
rights. It is indeed a great test for 180 million people of
Bangladesh, how long they will tolerate such an enemy as the
ruler. 09/04/2023.

Progress in Yoruba land Despite Prejudice & Atrocities
by Kabir Oyemomi
Ile-Ife is an ancestral city of Yoruba land in Osun State.
In fact, according to many histories of Yoruba, all Yoruba
came from Ile Ife town.
The above explains why it has been difficult for traditional
ritual festivities to have been eradicated in the ancentral
town of Ife. Muslims are in the minority in Ife because of
strict resistance met by many scholars. Though, comparative
scholars like Mallam Yusuff Adepoju are penetrating
lately.
Just last Thursday, some traditional worshipers of 'ORO
FESTIVA' invaded a mosque while Solat Asr was ongoing at a
place called Idi Omoh Mosque. Spokesperson for Osun Police
Command,SP Opalola Yemisi has confirmed the attack.
According to one of those present during the attack,the Oro
adherents broke through the fence and began flogging
worshipers with canes, instructing them to leave the
ablution area.
The Imam, Alhaji Abdulatif ADESIYAN was beaten and hit on
the face with a rod. About five 5 other persons were also
injured during the attack.
The incidence points to the kind of humiliation Muslims are
exposed to in the core traditional lands of Yoruba race. But
Islam is penetrating Yoruba household geometrically as
youths come back home from Universities with strong Islamic
beliefs.

Alvin Bragg
People Power Overrides Political Power - Always!
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office has decided
not to charge parking garage attendant, Moussa Diarra (57
years old), with attempted murder, assault, and weapons
possession.
Diarra was doing his rounds one evening when he confronted
the alleged thief, Charles Roadie (59 years old). Roadie
shot Diarra twice before Diarra was able to grab the gun
from Roadie and shoot him.
When the NYPD arrived on the scene, they saw both men
injured, placed them under arrest, and took them to the area
hospital. It was only after an investigation did the
prosecutor's office decided to drop all charges against
Moussa Diarra, just a day later.
Diarra's attorney, Charles Clayman, sent the DA a
surveillance video of the altercation, which he says cleared
his client.
It is implied that the real reason why the prosecutor's
office dropped charges against Moussa Diarra is out of fear
of another backlash.
There was an earlier case where a bodega store clerk, Jose
Alba, defended himself against an alleged assailant, Austin
Simon, who jumped behind the counter and stabbed Alba. Alba
stabbed Austin Simon to death in an act of self-defense.
However, in spite of a surveillance video capturing this
fight, Jose Alba was arrested and spent two horrific weeks
on Riker's Island before public outrage (and subsequent
local political pressure) freed him.
Jose Alba has since left to go back to the Dominican
Republic and it was announced, in February 2023, that he is
suing the City of New York.
In New York City, the people have spoken and this is how the
Manhattan DA responded. Anyway, he has bigger fish (Trump)
to fry, right now.
Perhaps, the reason why the Iowa courts are taking so long
to sentence former sex-trafficking victim and courageous
fighter Pieper Lewis is because of the nationwide support
she has been given since her conviction for killing the man
who raped her. Unfortunately, Lewis and Haila Gabr are not
the only rape victims charged and convicted for killing the
men who raped them.
