Jamaat-E-Islami Chief Turned Islami Chhatra Sangha into Al-Badr: Prosecution
Nov 05 2013
A prosecutor yesterday told International Crimes Tribunal-1 that it was Jamaat-e-Islami chief Motiur Rahman Nizami who decided to turn the party’s then student wing Islami Chhatra Sangha into Pakistan army’s death squad Al-Badr in 1971.
“He [Nizami] has no scope to deny that he was not chief of Al-Badr. He had control over Al-Badr and incited its members to commit crimes,” said Mohammad Ali, citing from prosecution documents. Al-Badr killed the country’s intellectuals in December 1971.
The prosecutor said Nizami was provincial president of Chhatra Sangha from 1967 to 1969 and president of the student body in all Pakistan from 1970 to October 1971.
Quoting from “Ekatturer Ghatak o Dalalra Ke Kothay”, Ali said, “During a rally on August 2, 1971 at Muslim Institute in Chittagong, Nizami said had the patriotic people come forward to resist miscreants on March 1, such a situation might have never happened…But when Muslims failed, Allah saved the country through the army.”
Marking Pakistan’s Independence Day on August 14, Nizami led a Chhatra Sangha procession at Dhaka University where participants chanted the slogans, “With our blood, Pakistan will survive”, “Kill India’s agents”.
The book also reads that Nizami addressed a Chhatra Sangha tea party at Dhaka Alia Madrasa on September 23, saying only patriotic youths of East Pakistan could counter the terrorist activities by “armed Indian infiltrators” and their “local agents” effectively.
“Those, who love Islam, love Pakistan. And we’ll have to make an all-out attempt so that the political intellectuals never forget this truth,” he added.
As per the indictment order, Nizami obtained Kamil degree from the Alia Madrasa in 1963.
Quoting from another book, “Ekatturer Dosh Mash”, the prosecutor said Nizami made a provocative speech at a Chhatra Sangha rally on August 4, 1971 in Chittagong. The book cites a Daily Sangram report describing Nizami as chief of Al-Badr.
The prosecutor later placed arguments on the killing of Head Moulana of Pabna Zia School Kasim Uddin.
The proceedings against Nizami, who faces 16 war crimes charges, were adjourned until today.
Yesterday, the tribunal-1 deferred passing further orders on the show-cause notices served on Human Rights Watch and the Economist until December 8 for their comments on two different tribunal issues.

Bangladesh court sentences 150 soldiers to death for 2009 mutiny
AFP | Nov 5, 2013
DHAKA: A Bangladeshi court on Tuesday sentenced at least 150 soldiers to death during a mass verdict over a 2009 mutiny in which scores of top officers were massacred, a prosecutor said.
A judge convicted and sentenced to death the soldiers over the mutiny in which 74 people including officers were hacked to death, tortured or burnt alive before their bodies were dumped in sewers and shallow graves.
"At least 150 BDR soldiers have been sentenced to death for the massacre of the army officers," lead prosecutor Baharul Islam told AFP outside the court in Dhaka.
At least another 350 of the 823 soldiers charged over the mutiny were sentenced to jail for their role in the 30-hour uprising that started at the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) headquarters in Dhaka.

“Our rivals do not know elections”: Nasheed
By Zaheena Rasheed | November 4th, 2013
Speaking at a campaign rally in Haa Alif Atoll Dhidhoo Island, former president and Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) presidential candidate Mohamed Nasheed has called on his rivals to compete in elections instead of using the courts to obstruct presidential polls and disqualify MPs from the parliament.
Nasheed’s comments follow the Supreme Court’s stripping of MDP MP Ali Azim and MDP aligned Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) Mohamed Nashiz of their seats, and the Criminal Court’s sentencing in absentia of MDP MP Hamid Abdul Ghafoor to six months in jail for disobedience to order.
Progressive Party of the Maldives (PPM) council member Ibrahim ‘Wadde’ Waheed is seeking the disqualification of DRP Leader and MP Ahmed Thasmeen Ali’s seat, citing his failure to pay decreed debt as per a 2010 court verdict.
Presidential polls have been set for November 9 after the Supreme Court annulled the first round of presidential elections held on September 7 and the police obstructed the Supreme Court ordered revote on October 19 after the JP and PPM refused to approve the voter registry.
“Our rivals do not know elections,” Nasheed said, adding that the only time his rivals had participated in elections was the multi-party elections of 2008 in which the MDP had defeated 30-year ruler Maumoon Abdul Gayoom.
Instead of campaigning and strengthening their political parties, rival PPM and Jumhooree Party were inciting hatred and engaging in back biting, Nasheed alleged.
“These people are a group, in other words a gang. There is no way they can participate in peaceful political activities,” he added whilst calling on PPM’s Abdulla Yameen and JP’s Gasim Ibrahim to compete in presidential elections.
Nasheed emphasized that the constitution exists to protect the citizenry’s rights, and that the judiciary, executive and legislature existed to uphold these rights.
“It is always, we, the citizens, who will say the last word in the Maldives,” he said.
Neither MDP nor EC want a vote: Gasim
Meanwhile, the JP’s Gasim Ibrahim has accused the Elections Commission (EC) of collaborating with Nasheed to obstruct free and fair polls on November 9.
“Neither the MDP nor the Elections Commission want to hold a vote. I accuse the Election Commission of doing things according to MDP’s wishes. I hear [the EC] does things the way Kenereege Mohamed Nasheed wants,” Gasim said at a press conference on Sunday.
The JP had sought and won an annulment of the first round of president held on September 7 at the Supreme Court, after narrowly placing third in the polls. Since then, the JP has continued to accuse the EC of fraud and tampering with the voter registry.
The EC wants Speaker Abdulla Shahid to assume the presidency at the end of the current presidential term on November 11 and hold polls afterwards, Gasim alleged.
“[T]hey want Abdulla Shahid to assume the presidency and then do this [hold election]. I think that is their spirit. This does not come as a surprise,” he told the press.
The Majlis last week passed a resolution to hand over presidency to the Speaker in the absence of a president elect on November 9. JP and the PPM boycotted the vote.
If no candidate gains over 50 percent in the November 9 polls, a second round is scheduled for November 16, five days after the end of the presidential term.
According to local media, Gasim has also said he favors a military takeover to Speaker Shahid assuming the presidency. He has called for President Dr Mohamed Waheed to continue beyond his term.
“Is it better for a man who is selected to assume the presidency? Or the Military? What is the difference? On one side they are stealing [the presidency] and doing things outside the law. Isn’t it better that our military takes over the country to save the country and maintain peace? It is their responsibility to ensure safety and peace in this country,” Channel News Maldives (CNM) quotes Gasim saying at a press conference on October 31.
The November 9 election is the EC’s fourth attempt to hold presidential polls. When the JP sought the vote annulment, the EC had scheduled a second round for September 28. With a verdict pending on the eve of elections, the EC decided to proceed with polls the next day.
However, the Supreme Court issued an injunction ordering the security forces to halt election preparations. Shortly afterwards, on October 7, the court annulled the September 7 polls and delineated 16 guidelines to hold polls by October 20.
The guidelines required all presidential candidates to sign the voter registry. However, with the JP and PPM refusing to sign the registry, the police stopped the election an hour before polls were to open.
Gasim on Saturday reiterated that he was ready to approve the voter registry if it was compiled properly. However, he alleged the EC had accepted reregistration forms with fingerprints like “a blot of ink.”

Islamic faith puts Uighurs at odds with Han Chinese
November 4, 2013
URUMQI // In the dirty backstreets of the Uighur old quarter of Xinjiang’s capital Urumqi in China’s far west, Abuduwahapu frowns when asked what he thinks is the root cause of the region’s festering problem with violence.
“The Han Chinese don’t have faith, and the Uighurs do. So they don’t really understand each other,” he said, referring to the Muslim religion the Turkic-speaking Uighur people follow, in contrast to the official atheism of the ruling Communist Party.
But for the teenage bread delivery boy, it is not Islam that is driving people to commit acts of violence, such as last week’s deadly car crash in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square — blamed by the government on Uighur Islamist extremists who want independence.
“Some people there support independence and some do not. Mostly, those who support it are unsatisfied because they are poor,” said Abuduwahapu, who came to Urumqi two years ago from the Uighur old Silk Road city of Kashgar in Xinjiang’s south-west, near the Pakistani and Afghan border.
“The Han are afraid of Uighurs. They are afraid if we had guns, we would kill them,” he said, standing next to piles of smouldering rubbish on plots of land where buildings have been demolished.
China’s claims that it is fighting an Islamist insurgency in Xinjiang — a vast area of deserts, mountains and forests geographically located in central Asia — are not new.
A decade ago, China used the 9/11 attacks in the United States to justify getting tough with what it said were extremists backed by Al Qaeda who wanted to bring similar carnage to Xinjiang.
For many Chinese, the rather benign view of Xinjiang that existed in China before September 11, 2001 — as an exotic frontier with colourful minorities who love dancing and singing — has been replaced with suspicion.
China says Al Qaeda and others work with the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, in Beijing’s eyes the foremost terror group in Xinjiang, and spray-paints warnings on walls against Hizb ut-Tahrir, a supranational group that says its goal is to establish a pan-national Muslim state.
The incident on Tiananmen Square has only added to China’s unease.
“The Han seem to be afraid of us. I don’t know why. They won’t tell us,” said a 22-year-old Uighur man who runs a shoe and clothing shop a stone’s throw from an armed police training ground in Urumqi.
Since 2001 China has conducted a sweeping security crackdown in Xinjiang, further repressing Uighur culture, religious tradition and language, rights groups say, despite strong government denials of offering the Uighurs anything but wide-ranging freedoms.
Some Uighurs believe their only alternative may be to draw closer to Islam, and by doing so, further the distance between themselves and the Communist Party and the Han Chinese.
While many Uighur women in Urumqi dress in much the same casual fashions as their Han counterparts, others have begun to wear full veils, something more common in Pakistan or Afghanistan than Xinjiang.
“It’s only since the state has been repressing religious practices in Xinjiang so hard, that ironically it has caused Uighur Muslims to re-traditionalise, to re-Islamise at a very rapid rate now,” said Joanne Smith Finley, a lecturer in Chinese studies at Britain’s Newcastle University who studies Xinjiang.
“There is no tradition in Xinjiang of any kind of radical Islamism,” she added.
The government has recognised the economic roots of some of the problems, and has poured money into development in the form of schools, hospitals and roads. To be sure, incomes have risen, especially in the countryside where many Uighurs live.
Annual rural incomes averaged a little under 6,400 yuan (Dh3,670) a year in 2012, up some 15 per cent on the previous year, though this is still 1,500 yuan less than the national average and more than 11,000 yuan less than Shanghai’s rural residents, the country’s richest.
Discrimination against Uighurs in the job market — including employment advertisements saying “no Uighurs accepted” — is another issue, despite government attempts to end this.
Ilham Tohti, an ethnic Uighur economist based in China and a longtime critic of Chinese policy toward Xinjiang, said he feared the Tiananmen incident would only lead to more repression and discrimination, further fanning the flames.
“Whatever happens, this will have a long-term and far-reaching impact on Uighurs, and will cause great harm. It will only worsen the obstacles Uighurs face in Han-dominated society,” he said.

Singapore Muslims embrace technology to practise their faith
By Mark Fenn
Nov 05 2013
As a frequent business traveller, Fazal Bahardeen was often frustrated over the lack of hotels and travel services catering to Muslims.
After leaving his job with an international telecom firm, the 50-year-old Singaporean decided to do something about it — and in 2009 he launched Crescent Rating, an online guide to “halal-friendly travel.”
The company reviews and rates hotels, restaurants, travel agents and other services on how accommodating they are to Muslims. It takes into account factors such as the provision of prayer space and halal food, and the presence of things Muslims might object to, such as gambling and alcohol.

China paper blames blind faith of "uncultured" youth for Xinjiang unrest
November 5, 2013
BEIJING: Uncultured youth who have been misled by religious forces are a main source of unrest in China’s heavily Muslim region of Xinjiang, its top newspaper said on Tuesday, after the government blamed militants for an attack in central Beijing.
A car ploughed through bystanders on the edge of Tiananmen Square and burst into flames on Monday last week, killing three people in the car and two bystanders. The government called the incident a terrorist attack carried out by militants from the far western region of Xinjiang.

Last week the United States said it supports the “universal rights” of women to drive in Saudi Arabia, after an October weekend protest there saw several women defy the law by taking the steering wheel.

'Obama offered to nudge India to resolve Kashmir issue in exchange for Pak help'
Nov 05 2013
Washington : US President Barack Obama secretly offered Pakistan in 2009 that he would nudge India towards negotiations on Kashmir in lieu of it ending support to terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Toiba and Taliban, but much to his disappointment, Islamabad rejected the offer.
"Since the 1950s Pakistan had wanted an American role in South Asia. Now it was being offered one. In the end Pakistan would have to negotiate the Kashmir issue directly with India. But at least now the American president was saying that he would nudge the Indians toward those negotiations," Pakistan's former Ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani wrote in his book 'Magnificent Delusions', which hit the stores on Tuesday.

5 November 2013
RIYADH — Pakistani Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Muhammad Naeem Khan said that Pakistanis are one of the largest beneficiaries of this amnesty/grace period graciously granted by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah.
Khan shared statistics about the number of Pakistanis who have been able to document and regularize themselves and hence are able to legalize their status in the Kingdom.
According to Khan, 396,152 of Pakistanis have been able to change their sponsorship and 333,780 of his compatriots have been able to change their profession. "This means a total of 729,932 (as of October 10) Pakistanis have been able to document and regularize their status," the ambassador said, adding that he has shared this figure with Ministry of Labor.
The above mentioned figure does not include those Pakistanis who entered the Kingdom on Umrah, Hajj and visit visas before July 2008 and those who are working as domestic helpers, and corrected their status later.

Militants test Tunisia democracy
5 November 2013
TUNIS – When protesters stormed the US Embassy in Tunis last year, they hoisted a black militant flag that exposed the militant undercurrent in one of the Muslim world’s most secular societies.
An attack on a tourist resort last week by a suicide bomber, and recent gun battles with Tunisian police, revealed how deeply that fervour, fostered worldwide by Al-Qaeda, has taken root in the country where the Arab Spring began.
Militants, few in number, have little chance of getting what they want in Tunisia or igniting wider war. But with the country still stumbling toward democracy and Libya’s chaos on its doorstep, violent militants have room to flourish.
