   100 Minority families held captive at Dignara, Nowabganj

A Massacre waiting to happen

Note: Due to the urgency of the situation, we are hereby furnishing a very brief report. The complete and full video version alongwith the report will be submitted before you shortly.

Perhaps you are aware of the massacre in Banskhali, Bangladesh in which 11 people including 7 women and 1 infant of a minority family burned alive. Well, this time it could be Dignara, Nowabganj. The terrorists are planning to wipe out the entire village.
Women are gang raped and beaten and men are either captured and held captive at jail or beaten up badly just keeping them alive.
They are being forced to pay "zizia tax" to stay alive. Police and local leader of ruling party is involved.
While HRCBM-Dhaka took the initiative to procure justice for them, to keep us at bay, terrorists with the help of Police filed an FIR against our chapter head Advocate Rabindra Ghosh of HRCBM-Dhaka, Bangladesh.

The irony is that no other NGO and rights organization have taken up this matter despite our appeal to them.
We are working on a complete report to furnish before you.. until then please view the video" preview" of Nowabganj...
Help us help them.. Please try to endow justice to the hapless and let know wait for another Banskhali.

This email will reveal the master mind behind "this planned and systematic Annihilation."
   Hi all,

I had hot discussion with Maj(Rtd) M.A.Mannan, M.P. of Bangladesh Nationalistic Party, Dignara, Nowabganj, Dhaka who is reported to be the main master for cleansing the Minorities from that area. He has been instigating the terrorists for repeated attack on 100 Hindu Rishi families at Dignara. I could not realize for the first time that he is monitoring all these nefarious activities in the locality. Yesterday night (10th of December,03) I politely requested Major Mannan to do justice to the Rishi victims and try to punish those who repeatedly tortured, raped Ms.Sarmista Bala desecrated the deities, collected zizia tax from the innocent Rishi victims. But Major Mannan denied all the allegations against the terrorists and supported the illegal activities, rather blamed me for all cases filed against the criminals, and warned me not to proceed further, he called me as liar and he would give me a good lesson if I proceed further in this matter. Major Mannan is not at all happy as I investigated the atrocities upon the Rishi families in September,03. During our discussion he lost his temper and started to rebuke me in a very filthy language and he unnecessarily blamed me and want me to be involved with the procession carried out by Rishi families in the month of August. Now I could realize that the Police authority has been asked to take necessary action against me without any reasonable ground. Major Manan is not at all ready to realize the situation prevailing at time. I could realize why Nowabganj Police did not take any action against those criminals despite 4 specific criminal cases are pending against them. Total administration is under the control of Major Mannan and Police has got no power to do justice to the victims. A total pressure on the Rishi families are still continuing, they are now completely dependent upon HRCBM,Dhaka. Even no humanitarian organization in Bangladesh do not dare to come forward for the cause of minorities there. You will easily understand how the situation now prevailing in our country. Most of our Member of Parliament are nursing the terrorist activities in different parts of the country- and mostly the victims are “ Religious and Ethnic Minorities “ I also came to know that Major Mannan has instructed to Police Department to file case against me also.
Under the aforesaid circumstances, I on behalf of HRCBM,Dhaka seek your kind protection.

Thanks,

Rabindra Ghosh.

Will they receive justice???...
