Why are British high commission not taking this matter higher like they have done with other white cases, and why are the British mainstream media not taking this matter upon mainstream news?

I don’t have all the answers could some one tell me why? Is it because we don’t have the languages, confidence, or people in position or do we just fight among you and look for positing in society rather than the common good?

The Bangladesh government have never taken British Bengalis seriously because we say but don’t do and too much brown nose toward them, lets become more British like and complain to our white MP at make any positive change,

You any comment on this Anwar, Yorkshire

my dua goes to rizwan and his family everyone that has suffered at the hands of people in position, in Bangladesh and at Bangladesh high commission in the uk

You should look up ‘rizwan hussain’ on google. This individual is a philanthropist that has dedicated the last few years towards raising funds to help victims of various natural disasters that have taken place in southeast asia (e.g., clycone sidr, pakistan earthquaqe etc). As well as being a barrister, he is a well known presenter of benagli and islamic TV channels in the UK (Channel S, Bangla TV and Islam Channel).

As for his injuries, apart from the substantial bruising on his body, his right leg was fractured above the ankle and his left arm was completely broken. The bone was re-set and plastered in dhaka however a follow up x-ray reveal that brokens bones were not fully aligned. Therefore a decision was made to travel back to the UK asap for medical reasons.

I know all this because I have seen his injuries first hand and am acquainted with Rizwan.

Army Chief General Moeen U. Ahmed often uses them as to do his actual fieldwork, such as the abduction and torture of possible dissenters, the coercion of businessmen to provide donations that will be used to fund Moeen’s upcoming political aspirations, the dismantling and launching of political parties to suit the military establishment’s current needs of the moment, and the suppression of any unrest fomenting amongst our general population due to the increasing inefficiency displayed by this regime to meet some of the fundamental demands of governance, such as keeping food prices stable and getting enough fertilizers to our farmers on time.

The Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI) is an intelligence unit of Bangladesh Arm forces is headed by one Maj. General Golam Mohammad with his two closest associates (i) Brig. General Fazlul Bari (ii) Brig. General Amin having head quarter in Dhaka Cantonment. It has countrywide network based on all cantonments in Bangladesh

The present DGFI has adopted more aggressive attitude under Army led care taker government than the previous martial law government. The people perception is DGFI is mainly guided by i) Brig. Gen. Bari and ii) Brig. amin. These two officers are closely linked with Jamat-E-Islami politics and it top brass Motiur Rahman Nizami. Their target is to promote Jamat to–power in next election at least through a coalition government.

Read the Washington Post’s article A New Hub for Terrorism: to see the documented linkage between Jamaat and the current DGFI….

“What makes future prospects in Bangladesh especially alarming is that the Jamaat and its allies appear to be penetrating the higher ranks of the armed forces. Among many examples, informed journalists in Dhaka attribute Jamaat sympathies to Maj. Gen. Mohammed Aminul Karim, recently appointed as military secretary to President Iajuddin Ahmed, and to Brig. Gen. A.T.M. Amin, director of the Armed Forces Intelligence anti-terrorism bureau.

The respected journalists in question cannot write freely about the Jamaat without facing death threats or assassination attempts. The U.S.-based Committee to Protect Journalists has published extensive dossiers documenting 68 death threats and dozens of bombing attacks that have injured at least eight journalists. “We are alarmed by the growing pattern of intimidation of journalists by Islamic groups in Bangladesh,” the committee said recently. “As a result of its alliance with the Jamaat-Islamiyah, the government appears to lack the ability or will to protect journalists from this new and grave threat.”

For Pakistan’s intelligence agencies, especially Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), the legacy of the independence war has been a built-in network of agents within the Jamaat and its affiliates who can be utilized to harass India along its 2,500-mile border with Bangladesh. In addition to supporting tribal separatist groups in northeast India, the ISI uses Bangladesh as a base for helping Islamic extremists inside India. After the July 11 train bombings in Bombay, a top Indian police official, K.P. Raghuvanshi, said that his key suspects “have connections with groups in Nepal and Bangladesh, which are directly or indirectly connected to Pakistan.”

A State Department report cited evidence that one of the Jamaat’s main allies, the Harakat ul-Jihad-i-Islami, also headquartered in Pakistan, “maintains contact with Al Qaeda in Afghanistan.” Bangladesh Harakat leader Fazlul Rahman was one of the six signatories of Osama bin Laden’s first declaration of holy war against the United States, on Feb. 23, 1998. Since the October 2002 Bali bombings led to repression of al-Qaeda, some of its Indonesian and Malaysian cells have shifted their operations to Bangladesh….”

DGFI Brigadier General Fazlul Bari Assaulted

However certain questions arise out of my curious mind:

-What was he DOING in restrictive area of the airport, which is an extreme security zone?

-How did he manage to trespass into such area? (I hope not through the influence of
his “army” friends/relatives, as many, many Bangladeshi people love to do!!)

-How did he walk to the mosque with so many broken bones? without anyone noticing him????? pretty strange?

He was attacked on April 14, and then was back in UK by the 18th? How was he released so soon from any hospital/clinic after bone fractures etc etc? And endure the 16 hr flight back to London?

-Has anyone seen copies of the medical certificates?

-trespassing into restricted national security zones, would lead to army personnel or security personal to manhandle a person if the person didn’t cooperate with the security personal..just how violent was the “suspect” ?? in this case, Rizwan.

Ofcourse non of the above (even if against rizwan( justifies him getting beaten up this badly) However if rizwan indeed used abusive words or brash behaviour ( as many a British or American PASSPORT holder of Bangladeshi origin love to flaunt themselves in ZIA with their foreign English accents — i hope you agree MOST of them do) then the security personnel could well have been right to mistake him for some with suspicious motives ( when is the time to be nice when he might say BLOW up the airport at any moment, if indeed he was so loud and brazen in his defiance to be interrogated) then the security personnel may have been right to use force on him.

nothing however justifies him being THAT badly handled to have these many bruises?

However if this was the case, that the security forces were convinced because of his behavior that he was indeed extremely suspicious a character then they should just come clean and clear the air. Admit their mistake. After all they didn’t kill the guy. They hurt him real bad and the security could apologize for their mistake, and the harsh treatment . Rizwan could then also seek compensation. I mean mistakes happen and its unfortunate that Rizwan is a victim. But National security i am sorry to say is an extremely tricky area. in the UK, a Brazilian man was shot to death at a central London tube station because he was acting suspiciously- according to London Met police.

That may have been a wrong judgment on the police’s part…but you know brothers and sisters> mistakes happen.

What I am trying to say, before all os us have got right facts, ..I mean enough facts on our hands, i have to say this sounds like a pretty one-sided story.

I am sorry Rizwan was a victim., but what was he doing in restrictive territory in the first place. how responsible does that make HIM ?

Do not please, bad mouth and entire nation and an its army without getting all the facts right.

We need the correct facts first.

I hope i have been able to make a few pointers.

Also to add: Why is the Facebook face on Rizwan’s justice being so manipulated that noe one is being allowed to write anything that may potentially lead to pointing out that Rizwan was even “Slightly” wrong in his behavior that day and contributed to the misery brought on him? Doesn’t that arise any suspicions to one’s mind?

There is no smoke without fire, after all!
