Human rights violation!
A F Rahman On e-mail
I read the news item by AFP (DS Aug.19,'05) that a Bangladeshi ex-army officer was forced to leave the US for his role in Bangladesh. I got the shock of my life, for the gentleman Sajjad Ahmed Bipu had to leave his temporary abode after fighting a legal battle for long nine years!I just cannot dictate another country as to whom it would grant asylum or stay-permit, but I cannot digest the ruling of a judge there that the incumbent "had engaged in human rights abuse"(in another country i.e. his own). My legitimate question to those judges of the US is whether they will also consider expulsion of Mr. Bush and Rumsfeld --the so called vanguard of human rights, who have been engaged in human rights violation every day and everywhere in the world? I also appeal to those sensible and conscious people of the US to consider my point: should they allow the US administration to make it a heaven for violators with inhuman demeanour of human rights like Bush and Rumsfeld? Please for heaven's sake don't preach something which you don't practise. Do I have to pinpoint here the double standard that they practise to demonise or punish the Muslims of the world?
