Condemned JMB leaders won't be allowed to talk to media
2007-03-07
Law Adviser Mainul Hosein yesterday said the government will not allow the six condemned JMB militants to speak to the media since there is no instance of allowing any convict to do so. Hunt is on for arresting those who patronised the militants and they will also be brought to book, Mainul told newsmen at the Secretariat.

The six top militants might be executed in the first week of April.
The six top militants including Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) chief Abdur Rahman and his second-in-command Siddiqul Islam alias Bangla Bhai might be executed in the first week of April. Now there is no obstacle to the execution of the militants as the president rejected their mercy petitions on Sunday. According to jail code, if the president rejects clemency prayers by the condemned, the jail authorities are to reschedule the date of execution within 21-28 days from the date of receipt of the copy of his decision.

Sources said the jail authorities have beefed up security at different jails where the militants are confined. Of the seven militants sentenced to death for killing two Jhalakathi judges in November 2005, Abdur Rahman, Bangla Bhai and Iftekhar Mamun are in Kashimpur jail in Gazipur, Ataur Rahman Sunny and Abdul Awal in Dhaka Central Jail and Khaled Saifullah in Rangpur jail. Another condemned militant is absconding.
