Monday May 10, 2008HRCBM/Bang/UA_05_10_2008/Protection_2008Bangladesh:
Violence against Women and Children in Bangladesh Must be Stopped

With deep anguish and dismay Human Rights Congress for Bangladesh Minorities (HRCBM) urges that the barbaric violence and extreme human rights abuses that continue to be perpetrated against the religious and ethnic minorities and indigenous people of Bangladesh, especially women and children, must be stopped.

We are shocked to report that the widespread barbaric acts of violence against the religious and ethnic minorities that started before the October 1, 2001 general election in Bangladesh, and continued throughout the period of the past BNP-Jaamat Coalition Government, are still continuing even under the current Caretaker Government and a state of emergency.

These incidents of ongoing violence and crime perpetrated against the minorities, the weaker section of the people, depict a trend towards silent genocide by a vested and powerful circle in the country. These abominable acts of violence are affecting the very fabric of our society, destroying the very foundation of rights and liberty of a democratic and civil society.

While many incidences of ongoing violence and human rights abuses against the religious and ethnic minorities and Adibasis (indigenous people) are not reaching the news media, many such reports are still being published in the national and international media everyday.

With grave concern we issue this Urgent Action Appeal to draw your attention on the four cases of gang rapes and abductions that occurred within a month. We appeal to the conscience of the people, governments and human rights institutions including the United Nation for immediate intervention to procure justice for the victims and apprehension of the criminals.

1. Case of Mili Rani Malakar: Only Adolescent Daughter of a Blind Father Abducted and Gang-raped for 7 Days in Sylhet, Bangladesh

Incident: Mili Rani Sarkar, daughter of Khoka Malakar of village Kholadapunia, Jokiganj of Sylhet was abducted on 24th April, 08 and left in a critical condition of unconscious at Bhattapara Primary School on 1 May late night, 94 miles East of Sylhet district Headquarters. Following day, local people collected some funds and sent the victim in a stage of comma to the Osmani Hospital Sylhet.

Mili Rani is the only earning member of the family as her father is blind. She used to sell vaccine for poultry firms and was barely able to feed the family with this meager income.

Current situation: Doctors of the hospital say that the condition of the patient is very critical and she was mercilessly gang raped for days together. Mili is still under the medical care of Osmani Hospital' ICU and will remain there some more days. Nobody is allowed to see or talk to her without prior local police permission.
Allegation: Police was reluctant to register case and instead was cooperating with the criminals.

2. Case of Upama Dutta:
A Minor Minority Girl Abducted in Dinajpur, Bangladesh

Incident: Mr. Chanchal Dutta of Barabandar under Kotwali Police Station of Dinajpur, reported that his minor daughter Miss Upama Dutta (15), a student of class IX in the local school, while going to her tutor Mr. Tapan Chakraborty's residence on 26th April at around 7:30 AM was abducted by a neighborhood hoodlum on the road, named Sohel Chowdhury, son of Alamgir Chowdhury alias Dulal Miah, a local man of Baluchar of Dinajpur. He used a motor vehicle to abduct her. Two local young men were the accomplices of this incident. The younger brother of Upama Dutta helplessly witnessed the abduction.

Allegation: Due to the pressure from influential quarters and police, victim’s father failed to register the case. Later a FIR was register on 05/01/08. A number of our volunteers called both SP of Dinajpur, Mostafa Kamal (Tel: 880-1716386246 and 880-1713373955) and Officer in Charge Mr. Matiur Rahman (Tel: 880-1713373963). However, according to HRCBM-Dinajpur and volunteers who called the Police Station reported that both police officers seem to be racially biased and are in good term with criminals.

Current situation: Despite our engagement in this case, the girl is yet to be found.

3. Case of a Minor Minority Girl Kidnapped at Mongla, Bangladesh

Incident: A sixteen year old daughter of Parimal Roy was preparing to appear, until this incident, at this year’s S.S.C. (Secondary School Certificate) examination from the local Amratola-Chapra Secondary School. On the fateful evening of March 2, when she went outside of her home in order to respond to nature’s call, she was abducted by a neighborhood hoodlum, Saiful Molla, son of Hai Molla, a powerful and wealthy local man. He used a motorcycle to abduct her. Two local young men named Tapas and Suman Mondal were the accomplices of this incident. When Parimal Roy approached Abdul Hai Molla and their relatives on the following day in order to apprise him of this incident, they asked Parimal Roy to keep quiet. Subsequently, Parimal Roy again brought this incident to the notice of the guardians of the abductor and other villagers but to no effect. Failing to resolve this issue with Saiful’s guardians and being unable to file a case with the local police station for fear of revenge and retaliation, Parimal came to the press club and expressed his utter grief with the question “Will they do whatever they want to do to my daughter because I am a poor, helpless man?”, while he broke down in tears.

Allegation: It is alleged that police was initially reluctant to register the case.

Current situation: HRCBM has assigned a local lawyer to handle the case but the girl is yet to be rescued.

Press Release from Bangladesh Khilafat Andolon

KIDNAPPED SCHOOLGIRL'S FATHER IN GRIEF

May sell home, leave village in sheer desperation
If he does not get his daughter back
The Daily Ittefaq, Monday, March 24, 2008, Dhaka, Bangladesh
by Mongla Correspondent

Amratola-Chapra of Mongla: Due to continuous threat from the influential quarters, Parimal Roy (45), dirt poor and hapless father of a Hindu schoolgirl couldn’t file a case against the kidnappers of his daughter at the local police station. Nobody is speaking out against this crime fearing retribution, as the kidnapper come from a very powerful and influential family. Finding no other alternatives, Parimal, the poor and helpless father has decided to sell the ancestral home, his only material asset, and leave his village. This Sunday, Parimal expressed his grievance and helplessness in front of a group of journalists at the local press club.

As per Parimal, his daughter (16) is going to appear at this year’s S.S.C. (Secondary School Certificate) examination from the local Amratola-Chapra Secondary School. On the fateful evening of March 2, when she went outside of her home in order to respond to nature’s call, she was abducted by a neighborhood hoodlum, Saiful Molla, son of Hai Molla, a powerful and wealthy local man. He used a motorcycle to abduct her. Two local young men named Tapas and Suman Mondal were the accomplices of this incident.

When Parimal Roy approached Abdul Hai Molla and their relatives on the following day in order to apprise him of this incident, they asked Parimal Roy to keep quiet. Subsequently, Parimal Roy again brought this incident to the notice of the guardians of the abductor and other villagers but to no effect. Failing to resolve this issue with Saiful’s guardians and being unable to file a case with the local police station for fear of revenge and retaliation, Parimal came to the press club and expressed his utter grief with the question “Will they do whatever they want to do to my daughter because I am a poor, helpless man?”, while he broke down in tears.

Kidnapped minor School Student from Amratola-Chapra, Mongla, Bagerhat , Bangladesh

Date 29th March, 08
Report Submitted by HRCBM-BNC
According to the report about Amratola-Chapra, Mongla incident, HRCBM-BNC stated that due to continuous threat from the influential quarters, Parimal Roy (45), dirt poor and hapless father of a minority schoolgirl couldn’t file a case against the kidnappers of his daughter at the local police station. Nobody is speaking out against this crime fearing retribution, as the kidnappers come from a very powerful and influential family. Finding no other alternatives, Parimal, the poor and helpless father has decided to sell the ancestral home, his only material asset, and leave his village. This Sunday, Parimal expressed his grievance and helplessness in front of a group of journalists at the local press club.
As per Parimal, his minor daughter (16) is going to appear at this year’s S.S.C. (Secondary School Certificate) examination from the local Amratola-Chapra Secondary School . On the fateful evening of March 2,2008 when she went outside of her home in order to respond to nature’s call, she was abducted by a neighborhood hoodlum, Saiful Molla, son of Hai Molla, a powerful and wealthy local man. He used a motorcycle to abduct her. Two local young men named Tapas and Suman Mondal were the accomplices of this incident.
When Parimal Roy approached Abdul Hai Molla and their relatives on the following day in order to apprise him of this incident, they asked Parimal Roy to keep quiet. Subsequently, Parimal Roy again brought this incident to the notice of the guardians of the abductor and other villagers but to no effect. Failing to resolve this issue with Saiful’s guardians and being unable to file a case with the local police station for fear of revenge and retaliation, Parimal came to the press club and expressed his utter grief with the question “Will they do whatever they want to do to my daughter because I am a poor, helpless man?” while he broke down in tears. The report adds, since then she could not be traced, and the local police failed to do anything till today.
It is alleged that the police station refused take even simple FIR when her father Parimal Roy approached Bara babu'. The O/Cs are really 'Barab Babbus' (big bosses)- typical ‘don’t care’ attitude The published report is correct. Our contact persons confirmed the incident. on March 26,2008, the police recorded FIR, as we are told by our contacts. The police have now become a bit mobile and looking for the three culprits who really kidnapped the girl.
Our men approached the SP of Bagerhat A K M Shahidur Rahman . PPM, ( Tel:88-0469-62274 and 88-01713374116) and the OC of PS Mangla Mr Babul Akhtar ( 88-01713374129), a new incumbent. They assured us that the culprits would be brought to justice. Our 2-member team, comprising a former DIG police, visit the placedand enquire into case. A local layer has been assigned by HRCBM's Bangladesh National Chapter (HRCBM-BNC). However, we are doubtful of much progress in the case since police is allegedly prejudiced.

A Poor Minority Girl abducted and raped for 7 days in Sylhet, Bangladesh

Dhaka, 6 May 2008 .
Report submitted by HRCBM-BNC


Allegation: Police denied registering FIR and thus encouraging criminals to indulge violence against minority women and girls. The incident depicts how police could be prejudiced and capable of disdaining country's stringent "Women and Children Protection Act".


Miss Mili Rani Malakar, daughter of Shri Khoka Malakar of village Kholadapunia, under Jokigunj PS of Sylhet was abducted on 24th April and left in a critical condition of unconscious at Bhattapara Primary School on 1 May late night, 94 miles away from East of Sylhet district Headquaters. Following day, local people collected fund and sent the victim in a stage of comma to the Osmani Hospital Sylhet. Doctors of the Hospital say the condition of the patient is very critical and she was mercilessly gang raped for days together. Mili is still under the medicare of Osmani Hospital' ICU and will remain there some more days. Nobody is allowed to see or talk to her prior local police permission. Reports published in the local dailies in Dhaka and Sylhet stated that Mili Rani is the only earning member of the family as her father is blind. She used to sell vaccine for poultry firms and somehow manage her family with this meager income . Due to continuous threat from the influential quarters, hapless blind father or mother couldn't file a case against the kidnappers and rapist of their daughter at the local police station . Nobody is speaking out against this crime fearing retribution, as the kidnapper come from a very notorious Uion Parisad member Abdul Lalif and his associates. More over, Officer in charge of Jokiganj D Zaman Milu (88-01713374381) who was told on leave, the second man in PS reluctantly denied to register the case . The family is passing hard days with starvation. HRCBM-Bangladesh National Chapter won't let go of this injustice & for highlighting the case- there's an urgent need to apply pressure on the police staff involved & to the higher administration in Bangladesh to save a the poor minority girl Miss Mili Malakar. This may kindly noted that Annual Report of USCIRF- 2008 on Bangladesh issued on 2 May, Friday in Washington rightly observed:" Rape is also reportedly a common form of anti-minority violence, and incidents regarding Hindu women were reported in 2007. The government commonly fails to punish the perpetrators of these acts against women, since the law enforcement and the judicial systems, especially at the local level, are vulnerable to corruption, intimidation, and political interference." In 2006, HRCBM filed a writ before Honorable High Court of Bangladesh to endow Justice to minority victims of hate crime. However, with sheer disappointment it can be stated that despite the favorable ruling from Honorable High Court, Government of Bangladesh is yet to comply with the ruling. Denying to comply with the ruling of it’s highest institution of Justice, Bangladesh government has again disdained country’s constitution and Justice system.
