Fakhrul blasts govt over clemency

 

BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Thursday blasted the government for the president's granting clemency to 21 persons who were sentenced to death in different cases in three years from 2009.
“The government is showing mercy to convicted killers. On the other hand, it is arresting thousands of leaders and activists of opposition parties,” Fakhrul said at a press briefing at the BNP head office in the city’s Naya Paltan.
“The government’s fascist identity has been reflected through the president’s mercy to convicted killers.”
Home Minister Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir on Wednesday said the incumbent president granted clemency to 21 persons sentenced to death in various cases from 2009 to 2012.
Giving reply to lawmakers’ queries, the minister also said four others awarded death penalty in different cases also got presidential mercy during the period 1972 to 2008.
Speaking at the briefing, Fakhrul alleged law enforcers are harassing ‘general’ students in the name of arresting Islami Chhatra Shibir activists in the capital.
He also claimed that police and ruling Awami League ‘cadres’ were extorting money from the ‘innocent’ students while conducting recent raids at different messes and their residences in the capital.
"Many students come in the city for studying at different universities, colleges and schools and many of them live in rented students’ messes. Police are raiding these messes and extorting money from them by declaring them as Shibir activists," he said.
