Finance minister AMA Muhith in his budget speech at Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban in Dhaka city on June 7 said that the present Government’s greatest success was the holding of the trial of those who carried out crimes against humanity in the 1971 Liberation War of Bangladesh, reports New Age. “The greatest success of our government, in my opinion, is bringing the war criminals who committed heinous crime against humanity during our liberation war to justice and the execution of the punishment given to the main perpetrators. So far, a total of 53 cases were taken into cognisance for trial by the International War Crime Tribunal constituted for the purpose. Out of this, judgements were delivered in 31 cases while the rest are still under trial. Six out of seven death sentences upheld by the Appellate Division have been executed. Besides, 25th March has been declared National Genocide Day,’ Muhith said.

A Prominent writer and publisher Shahzahan Bachchu (60), an outspoken proponent of secular principles and owner of a publishing house 'Bishaka Prokashoni' that specialized in publishing poetry, was gunned down in his ancestral village Kakaldi in Munshiganj District of Dhaka Division on June 11 by five armed men, reports Daily Hunt. Shahzahan had gone to meet friends at a pharmacy shop near his home before iftar, when the five attackers on two motorcycles came into the area. They blasted a crude bomb outside the pharmacy, creating panic. They then dragged Shahzahan out of the shop and shot him. Although no group has claimed responsibility, Police officials from the counter-terrorism department are investigating the murder as a possible targeted attack by Islamist extremists. Writer Shahzahan Bachchu had previously received threats from extremist groups due to his outspoken support for secularism. He was a former District General Secretary of the Communist Party of Bangladesh and was known as a free-thinking writer. His publishing house 'Bishaka Prokashoni' is based in Dhaka's Banglabazar area.

Shahriar Kabir, Acting President of Ekattorer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee (Committee for Resisting Killers and Collaborators of Bangladesh Liberation War of 71) said there should be proper security arrangements for protecting the witnesses, reports Dhaka Tribune on June 15. He said “Witness protection is very important. There should be proper security arrangements for protecting not only the witnesses but also the judges and people associated with the process.” The necessity for a law to protect the witnesses and victims who testify in war crimes cases returned to the spotlight when Shumon Zahid was found dead on June 14 in Dhaka. Despite repeated demands by various stakeholders and the murder of witnesses since 2010 – when the Government set up a special tribunal to try suspected war criminals – Bangladesh is yet to formulate such a law. Three prosecution witnesses were murdered in 2013, while the house and shop of another witness were bombed. The village home of Justice ATM Fazle Kabir, the then chief of the International Crimes Tribunal 1, was also bombed that year.

War crimes witness Shumon Zahid (52), was found dead on the railway tracks at Khilgaon Bagicha in the capital Dhaka on June 14, reports New Age. Only son of martyred intellectual Selina Parvin, Shumon was the key prosecution witness in the war crimes case against absconding convicted war criminals and Al-Badr bosses Chowdhury Mueen Uddin and Ashrafuzzman Khan. Since Shumon was a war crimes witness he regularly received threats on his life. In 2017, in a general diary filed with the Shahajanpur Police Station Shumon informed the Police about the threats he was receiving. On July 21, 2013, Shumon testified in the International Crimes Tribunal-2 (ICT-2) that Al-Badr ring leader Chowdhury Mueen Uddin was in the group that had picked up his mother blindfolded in his presence from their New Circular Road residence in Dhaka on December 13, 1971 and her body was found at Rayerbazar Killing Fields after the Liberation War. Shumon told the court that he was then eight-year old. On November 3, 2013 Al-Badr ring leaders Mueen and Ashraf were sentenced to death in absentia. The court found them guilty of 11 counts of war crimes and murdering in cold blood 18 intellectuals in the fag- end of the Liberation War. Mueen lives in the United Kingdom and Ashraf in the US.

Sources said Purbo Banglar Communist Party (PBCP) cadres has started again their evil deeds including realization of extortion, killing and grabbing lands in Khulna region by giving threat over cell phones, reports New Nation on June 26. They have changed their styles of realization of extortion. Over phones, the leaders of the party send their representatives to the persons whom are targeted by them and ask to give extortion in the name of expenses for eating sweetmeats and other necessaries. The PBCP leaders are divided into different parts, they hide themselves from the society and common people are unknown about their hidden den. Of course, they sometimes enter in the locality wearing masks and as such the local people cannot recognize them. Members of law enforcers now and then conduct drives but the insurgent’s mange to escape from the scene. Sources said, these PBCP members are very familiar to the common people, their faces are well known, but the common people never dare to say their names or identities in fear of losing their. Taking this opportunity, they have been committing their ill-deeds without any hesitation. They do not do any job or any business, but only by taking realization of extortion, they have piled hills of wealth and money years after years and they are untouched by the law enforcers. Sometimes, some of them were killed in gunfight with law enforcing agencies and gunfights with themselves or the members of their opposite parties. After a few months, they have again started their underground business. They have fire arms, heavy guns and bullets, sources added.
