  11. 152 Bangladeshi Border Guards Get Death Penalty Over Revolt DHAKA, Bangladesh — In an apparently unprecedented ruling, 152 former members of the Bangladesh Rifles, a paramilitary border security force, were sentenced to death on Tuesday in connection with a bloody 2009 mutiny in which several thousand troops took control of their headquarters, demanding better working conditions, and killed scores of people. Some of the border guards broke down in tears after hearing their sentence, pronounced by Judge Mohammad Akhtaruzzaman in a crowded Dhaka courtroom under heavy security, and others shouted at the judge, saying the verdict was unfair. “Allah will deliver justice of this injustice,” they said. Judge Akhtaruzzaman said the testimony of some witnesses who described the blood bath was hair-raising. “The slain people were not merely killed,” he said. “The dead bodies did not get the respect they deserve according to the law.” The mutiny began suddenly, at an annual conference of the border force, as a number of guards took their commanders, officers of the Bangladeshi Army, hostage. As soldiers massed around the building, the border guards announced a list of demands, among them better pay, permission to participate in lucrative United Nations peacekeeping missions, and changes in the force’s command and control structure. The revolt sprang from the border guards’ longstanding jealousy of regular army troops, who had better quarters and pay. After the mutiny, the force, which guards the 2,500-mile border with India and Myanmar, was renamed the Border Guard Bangladesh. The revolt collapsed 33 hours later, after army tanks surrounded the border guards’ headquarters in the heart of this crowded capital. As the uprising ended, many border guards reportedly shed their uniforms and fled the site, while security forces combed the area for fugitives. Police officers entering the building found a mass grave containing the bodies of officers in combat fatigues who had been seized as hostages. Seventy-four people were killed in the uprising, including 57 top-ranking and midranking army officers. The rest were civilians. The mutiny posed a stark test for the country’s leadership, elected after two years of army-backed emergency rule. Rights advocates said they could not recall a time when so many defendants were sentenced to the death penalty in one single court proceeding. They were particularly struck by both the severity and the scope of the punishment in a country that has an established legal system and is not in a state of war. “It’s possible that there’s some civil war situation where this might have happened, but there’s nobody who’s thought of it,” said Brad Adams, the executive director of Human Rights Watch’s Asia division. “We can’t think of anything like it.” Prosecutors originally brought charges against 850 people — 827 men serving in the Bangladesh Rifles and 23 civilians — but 277 were acquitted on Tuesday in the mass trial, which began in August 2011. Of those convicted, 256 were given sentences of 20 years or less and 161, including Nasiruddin Ahmed Pintu, a former opposition member of Parliament, were sentenced to life in prison. Four of the accused died during the course of the trial. Defense lawyers said they would appeal, but relatives of the commanders killed applauded the sentences. “We can’t be satisfied until the verdict is implemented,” said NehreenFerdousi, the widow of one slain officer, Col. MujibulHuq. Bangladesh has been one of the least frequent users of the death penalty in countries that still have capital punishment, according to Amnesty International. If all the defendants sentenced to death on Tuesday are executed, Bangladesh would rocket to third place in Amnesty’s annual ranking of death penalty countries, surpassing Iraq, but still below Iran and China. Julfikar Ali Manik reported from Dhaka, and Ellen Barry from New Delhi. Rick Gladstone contributed reporting from New York.

  12. Bangladesh court sentences 152 to death for 2009 mutiny A court in Dhaka awarded death to 152 including Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) deputy assistant director Towhidul Islam and life-term to 160 including former BNP lawmaker Nasiruddin Ahmed Pintu and ward-level Awami League leader Torab Ali for their role in the February 2009 carnage at then BDR headquarters. Earlier this morning, 813 people detained in the mutiny case were produced before the makeshift court at Bakshibazar in the capital. Besides, the 10 more accused who are on bail also appeared before the Court of Third Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s, Dhaka. Three others accused – ZohoraKhatun, Abdus Salam and RunaAkhtarBithi – who had also granted bail in the case could not appear before the court due to the ongoing 60-hour strike of the BNP-led 18-party opposition combine. Several contingents of security men guarded the detained accused including BNP leader Nasiruddin Ahmed Pintu to the court around 10:00 in the morning. Judge MdAkhtaruzzaman started reading out the verdict around 12:30pm. Security has been beefed up on the court premises and its adjacent areas following the pronouncement of the verdict. Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) Director General Major General Aziz Ahmed and nearly 20 persons from the victim army officials’ family came to the court to attend today’s trial. In the February 2009 mutiny, 74 people including 57 top and mid-ranking army officers were killed by the rebel BDR personnel. The border guard members also looted arms and ammunition from armouries during the 33-hour bloodbath at the Pilkhana headquarters of the erstwhile BDR (now Border Guard Bangladesh, BGB,) on February 25-26. The killers later dumped the victims’ bodies in sewers and shallow graves, looted officers’ houses and held their family members hostage at gunpoint. A total of 850 people including 823 BDR jawans and 23 civilians were accused in the case. Among the accused are BNP leader Pintu, city ward unit Awami League leader Torab Ali and the then BDR deputy assistant director Mohammad Towhidul Islam. Of the accused, 813 are detained, 13 are on bail, 20 are on the run while four have died in custody. Earlier, the verdict was scheduled to be delivered on October 30. Judge MdAkhtaruzzaman deferred the date today for delivery of the verdict as he required some more time to prepare the judgement after reading around 10,000 pages containing depositions of 654 witnesses and their cross-examinations.
