Jamat-e-Islami leader Abdul Kadir Mollah was executed by Bangladesh
on Thursday for his role in atrocities during 1971 war of independence.
Various Indian Muslim organizations have reacted to this hanging:
Civil Liberties Monitoring Committee (CLMC):
Civil Liberties Monitoring Committee strongly condemns the death
sentence of Abdul Kadir Mollah. The death penalty is the ultimate denial
of human rights. It is the premeditated and cold-blooded killing of a
human being by the state. This cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment
is done in the name of justice.
It should be noted that the charges leveled against Molla have been
denied by him always. It is also clear that there is no evidence against
Molla or other convicts. Bangladesh set up International Crimes
Tribunal in 2010 to investigate the abuses took place during the 1971
conflict. But, it is a matter of concern that UNHRC strongly opposed
this so called ICT because it is against the international standards and
had written to Bangladesh government to stop the execution because the
trial had not met the international standards required for the death
penalty. It is largely believed that it is an attempt to eradicate the
Islamist opposition leaders.
We express our solidarity with the family of Jamat e Islami leader
Abdul Kader Mollah and hope that the people of Bangladesh will
understand the conspiracy of Shiekh Hasina’s politics of revenge and
will give her a fitting reply.
