a court in Sylhet issued warrant against the former president of the District Bar association and nine others for failing to appear before the court despite repeated summons to give deposition in the case (for explosive substances) for the grenade attack on the then British High Commissioner Anwar Chowdhury. The judge set March 29 as the next date for recording deposition by the prosecution witnesses (PWs) in the case, court sources said. Mufti Abdul Hannan of the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) is the prime accused along with his brother Muhibullah alias Muhibur Rahman and Mufti Mainuddin alias Masum Billah. Two cases, one for murder and the other for explosive substances, were filed in connection with the grenade attack on the then Chowdhury, after Jum'a prayers on May 21, 2004 in front of the shrine of Hazrat Shahjalal (RA) in Sylhet. Three people were killed while over 50 others including the District Bar president Abdul Hai Khan sustained injuries in the incident. The Divisional Speedy trial tribunal of Sylhet on December 23, 2008 awarded death to Mufti Hannan, Shahedul Alam Bipul and Delwar Hossain Ripon while Mufti Muhibur Rahman and Mufti Main Uddin were sentenced for life and fined Tk 10,000 each, in default, to suffer two years more in jail.

on March 2 (today), 99 personnel of 41 Battalion of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) were sentenced to different terms jail ranging from four months to seven years for their involvement in the 2009 mutiny in Satkhira. The Special Court-1 also fined the convicts Taka (Bangladesh Currency) 100 each. Six other accused were acquitted of the case as allegations brought against them were not proved.

Of the accused, 25 confessed to their involvement in the mutiny and begged for mercy while the remaining 80 claimed innocence.

The Constitution of Bangladesh and the laws of the Republic do not permit any extra-judicial punishment in the name of Fatwa (religious opinion issued by an Islamic Scholar/mufti on the basis of a religious query/Istifta), eminent jurist Kamal Hossain told the Supreme Court on March 2, reports Daily Star. Advocate Nazrul Islam, counsel for the appellants, pleaded against the High Court (HC) verdict and told the SC that fatwa has been a "part and parcel of Islam’” adding, “If fatwa is banned, Islam will be struck at the root.” Earlier, on January 1, 2001, the HC declared illegal all punishments in the name of fatwa. The verdict came following a hearing on a suo moto (own initiative, without external prompting) HC ruling after a report on Hilla marriage (marriage with a third person).

Daily Star reports that Rajshahi Investigators of International Crimes Tribunal have gathered evidence and statements of witnesses who were forced to convert to Islam at gunpoint in Rajshahi District following directives of former Jamaat-e Islami Ameer (leader) Ghulam Azam during the Liberation War in 1971. They also collected fortnightly secret reports of Special Branch of the then Police Department that were sent to Police stations across the country from Police headquarters in Dhaka in 1971. However, all the families converted to Hindus again after the liberation, said the investigators. Azam and other collaborators held meetings with Tikka Khan in early April of 1971 and genocide took place across the country following the meetings. Further, the investigators recorded statements of around 100 survivors who witnessed genocide in Charghat Upazila (Sub-Division) of Rajshahi District. The evidence shows that genocide took place in Padma Char, some 900 feet away from Thanapara village and Sardah Police Academy of Rajshahi District on April 13, 1971. Around 150 persons were killed in a firing squad and their bodies were set ablaze.

A special tribunal in Sylhet City on September 25, ordered further investigation into the case filed for explosive substances in connection with the 21 May 2004 grenade attack on Anwar Chowdhury, the then British High Commissioner to Bangladesh at the Shahjalal Shrine in Sylhet.
