The party has prepared a list of 184 activists who have been allegedly been murdered between February 28, 2013 and January 5, 2014
The Jamaat-e-Islami is planning to launch an international campaign to highlight the torture and deaths of its leaders and activists at the hands of the country’s law enforcement agencies, said party sources.
Jamaat has also reportedly decided not to go for any stern anti-government movement in the next two month; instead focusing on an international campaign based on a list of party activists who have been killed since the International Crimes Tribunal handed death sentence to its leader Delwar Hossain Sayedee on February 28 last year.
The party, along with its student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir, has prepared a list of 184 activists who have been allegedly been murdered between February 28, 2013 and January 5, 2014; as well as making several documentaries on police action against its activists.
Party insiders said Jamaat has planned to arrange processions and human chains in front of Bangladeshi embassies abroad, and showing documentaries to foreign nationals and diplomats in a bid to present the government’s “autocratic” activities.
Sources also said the party assistant secretary general, Barrister Abdur Razzak, was currently abroad with the list and the documentaries.
Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher, working committee member of Jamaat’s central committee, said Jamaat always conducted its politics in a democratic process. The party always keeps a list of its leaders who are killed, he added.
The list of victims – who allegedly died during demonstrations to free Jamaat leaders from war crimes charges – reportedly contains the names of 31 deceased from Rangpur, 57 from Rajshahi, nine from Dhaka, two from Faridpur, one from Barisal, three from Sylhet, 21 from Comilla, 33 from Khulna and 27 from Chittagong.
