Dear respected visitor, I just quoted one single reports from “The Daily Star” to go on with its chronology. I have full confident on you-you would be able to convert it to uncover the conclusion……. “Dy minister's nephew killed, 10 others hurt Outlaws in Natore suspected for killing Staff Correspondent, Rajshahi Suspected outlaws killed a nephew of Ruhul Kuddus Talukdar Dulu, deputy minister of land, and injured 10 others at Naldanga upazila in Natore yesterday evening. The assailants, a group of 10 armed to the teeth, encircled Sabbir Ahmed Gama, 30, and his friends at around 6pm and fired point-blank. They also hit the victims indiscriminately with sharp weapons and left the scene firing in the blank, police said quoting witnesses. Gama, a local leader of Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal and son of the minister's brother Rafiqul Islam Talukdar, was gossiping with his friends at Kamarpara crossing, about one km from his house at Ramsa Kazipur village…… Five others -- Yunus, 26, Meher, 46, Hashem, 23, Lalia, 31, and Samjan, 40, were admitted to Natore Hospital. …. Gama also was infamous for adultery and violence”. …..Source The Daily Star Trial: Gama's father Rafiqul Islam filed a case on Feb 8 in this connection with Naldanga Police Station against 16 people, including ruling Awami League's Naldanga Upazila unit general secretary SM Feroz Shah. After the inquiry, police submitted charge sheet against 21. Natore District and Sessions judge’s court shifted the case to the Speedy Trial Tribunal Court in Dhaka that convicted and sentenced 21 persons to death on Aug 24, 2006. . Those convicted were SM Firoze and his brothers Fazlul Haq Master and Farooq Hossain, Anisur Rahman and his sons Sentu and Farooq, Shahjahan Ali, Badal, Zahedul Islam and Faruq Hossain in Dhaka Central Jail. Zahurul Shah, Sajjad, Sohag, Bablu, Abul, Ataur, Ashraf, Formazul, Fakhruddin and Ohidur Rahman were in Rajshahi Jail. Four death row convicts freed Under the President's mercy, Rajshahi Central Jail authorities released four other death row offenders on Tuesday morning from Jail. Ten convicts of murder cases were released from Dhaka Central Jail as President Zillur Rahman pardoned 20 people who awaited execution in Dhaka and Rajshahi central jails. According to the Jail authority, the left over six could not be ‘freed’ under the mercy as they were detained on a number of other charges. In contrast A Natore district judge’s court sent to jail 12 BNP leaders and activists On Tuesday, interestingly, nine of whom are relations to “Sabbir Ahmed Gama”. In recent times, the President pardoned the son of Sajeda Choudhury, veteran leader of Awami League, by the prerogative power where he was sentenced to imprisonment for 18 years with a huge amount of fine by a court of law. President's prerogative power by our Constitution Article 49 of the Constitution states, "The President shall have power to grant pardons, reprieves and respites and to remit, suspend or commute any sentence passed by any court, tribunal or other authority" Speech from HOME. Home Secretary Abdus Sobhan Sikder said according to Article-49 of the constitution, the president has absolute power to grant mercy to any convict. Judicious opinion From the view of Law Renowned jurist Shahdeen Malik said, "Apparently both the verdict and the presidential clemency seemed very unusual." "This has inevitably led the perception of misuse or abuse of the presidential power to pardon," he said, adding, "This does not augur well for our state or its future." From the view of Human Rights Leading human rights activist Sultana Kamal said, "As both the court and the president are the highest places of our expectations, we want and expect true and impartial judgments from them." "As citizens, we expect an explanation from the government about the grounds on which those 20 people were granted presidential clemency," Concluding remarks “You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.” - By James Allen
