l l Acting Ameer rejects the verdict of death sentence against Maulana Nizami, calls the people to protest against government’s conspiracy to destroy patriotic leadership l l Acting Ameer of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, Maqbul Ahmed has issued a statement on 30th January, 2014 rejecting the death sentence that has been given in a false and concocted case against Jamaat Ameer Maulana Matiur Rahman Nizami in a bid to murder this veteran politician and the top leader of the Islamic movement in a pre-planned way. His full statement is as follows: “The government had filed a false and baseless case earlier against Jamaat Ameer and former minister of the government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, Maulana Matiur Rahman Nizami just to attain its ill political interest. This case is nothing but a conspiracy of the government to make the country leaderless by killing the patriotic leadership of the nation. The countrymen is well informed of the fact, the police had captured 10 trucks arms in Chittagong on 1st April of 2004. On that very night, the officer-in-charge of the Kornofuli police station filed two cases in line with the incident. The name of Maulana Matiur Rahman Nizami was not included in the ‘First Investigation Report’ (FIR) of the case. The first charge sheet of the case had been submitted on 11th June of 2004. That charge sheet has been prepared excluding Maulana Matiur Rahman Nizami as well. The trial of the case began from 6th July of 2005 and continued till 14th August of 2007. Till that moment, 59 witnesses had placed their testimony in two different cases in connection with the incident. On 20th December of 2007, the prosecution applied for further investigation into the case. According to the directives and blue print design of the government and to secure the vicious political interest, the charge sheet was submitted for second time implicating Maulana Matiur Rahman Nizami. On the basis of this fabricated charge sheet, the government arranged a farce in the name of trial. As per the government’s instruction, an unprecedented verdict has been declared today awarding all the detained accused with death penalty in connection with the so called smuggling and arms haul cases. We are shocked, surprised and disappointed with the verdict. Maulana Nizami has been deprived from justice. We will face the government sponsored conspiracy both legally and politically. Since the commencement, this trial has advanced questionably and without any transparency. The defence lawyers were not allowed to examine the witnesses properly. Since the beginning of the trial process, we had apprehended of becoming deprived from getting justice. Finally our apprehension has turned into reality. The government has arranged a farcical trial according to its blue print design in order to destroy the judiciary of the country and today’s verdict is another step to meet that malicious target of the government. The countrymen have rejected this government instructed verdict by all means. I am calling upon the countrymen to raise voice against the ongoing conspiracy, plot and blue print design of the government to annihilate the patriotic leadership of the country.
