    BANGLADESH: Minorities became the victims of political game

     
    From reliable sources I have received information that the local police were directed by the top level of the government to allow the tension turned into violence. The whole mission was coordinate by the senior officials of Chittagong detachment of Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI). The Police were directed to let the tension turn into violence and keep silent until the tension turned into violence.



    The officials of Chittagong detachment of DGFI engineered the situations with the help of political activists of ruling government.



    The incident shows that the policing in Bangladesh are highly politicized and far away from pro people and modern policing. Bangladesh police has notable records of practicing custodial torture, extrajudicial killings and other forms of human rights violations. In absence of democracy and rule of law police became the murders used by the ruling government.



    The security of the people of Bangladesh, specially the security of the minorities is impossible by the highly politicized police. In absence of rule of law, Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI) became very powerful tools of practicing illegal activities. DGFI is frequently used by the high officials of the government that includes the Prime minister of Bangladesh.



    I have received credible information that a core team had form comprising selected pro Awami League officials from different detachment of DGFI. Apart from officials of DGFI, there are members from the National Security Intelligence (NSI) and very pro government high police officials.



    The team has planned to spread the religious violence in different minorities populated areas to turn the anti government protest. The core team was directed by the Prime ministers of Bangladesh while the opposition party is preparing for the mass protest; the core team has to spread religious attacks on religious and ethnic minorities to keep the focus of the media and international community on attacks and violent attack on religious and ethnic minorities.

    Dear Ms. Rita Izsák, I am recalling the General Assembly resolution 47/135 of 18 December 1992, by which the Assembly adopted by consensus the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities, and subsequent resolutions of the General Assembly and the Commission on the Declaration.



    I am also recalling also its resolution 1995/24 of 3 March 1995 as well as Economic and Social Council resolution 1995/31 of 25 July 1995 and decision 1998/246 of 30 July 1998 on the mandate of the Working Group on Minorities of the Sub Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights,

    Along with that I am recalling Sub Commission resolution 2004/13 of 9 August 2004 on the rights of minorities and the recommendations.

    I am Emphasizing the importance of the timely identification of human rights problems and situations involving national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities in Bangladesh.



    While there is no rule of law and in absence of democracy political parties are victimizing the minorities by spreading violence using its highly politicized police and intelligence agencies like DGFI And NSI.

    In this regard, I urge the urgent international intervention into the case to save the life and property of the minorities of Bangladesh.



    Sincerely

    William Nicholas Gomes
