… everyone will be happy. The government will be happy because they won’t have to prove anything, hold any trial, meet any international standard, answer to annoying human rights activisists foreigners. The war crimes trial movement will be happy — they will celebrate the death of a hated enemy. His rivals in Chittagong BNP will be happy. BNP leadership will be happy — he has a large following, and a massive funeral will be quite a showdown.
Rumi is a doctor. He can tell us the odds of a 63 years old with three previous heart attacks and has several cardiac stents suffering a fatal attack under these conditions.
What did you say? Fair trial? That’s so passe man, Shahrier Kabir told the Economist: We should set our own standards.
Death in custody is our standard. What’s so unfair about that?
Peace will reign in deezeetaal Bangladesh when he is dead.

That example has already been set. BM Bakir Hossain died with brain haemorrhage in custody while kangaroo court setup refused his bail. And Awami govt made sure he does not get any treatment. Priison authority, DMCH, BSMMU all denied treatment using one excuse or other.
Maj Gen (retd) Rezaqul Haider Chowdhury, former NSI official Abdur Rahim and former state minister Babor are also in dire condition. These men are repeatedly tortured for over year to force a pre designed confession.
Here are details from a previous piece (on Bakir Hussain) by Rumi bahi.

Whatever anti law activities have been done by AL, all are acceptable to eyes of media and intellectuals.Because AL is like an innocent child to them.

famous bangla cinema song, “ak chore choley jai, are chor ashey…”
didn’t we ‘fix’ the country in 1975, didn’t we ‘fix’ the country 1981, didn’t we ‘fix’ the country in 1/11? so we can surely ‘fix’ sq!
unless he is sent abroad on classic flight ‘sq-420′

After killing and torturing so many people isn’t Awami League already guilty? One should be amazed by your sense of humanity.
Awami govt is in power but are you suggesting Awami govt is a puppet of RAW/India or some other country? Thanks for clearing that up.

It does not matter why, how or who does it.
If it happens (the govt better pray that it does NOT) then the AL will be squarely 100% responsible.

U asked for it, and you got it. Sqc has suffered yet another heart attack, his left side is paralised. Was taken to pg hospital and was surrounded by the same doctors and OC who monitored his torture for 6 days. He has been sent back to prison.
May AL sleep in peace tonight.
