| [Bangla Daily Star] Jamaat-e-Islami ... The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independentbranch there since 1975. It close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... acting general secretary ATM Azharul Islam and its six activists were yesterday shown set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock in eight cases filed in connection with assault on police and placed on remand in two of the cases. The cases were filed with Ramna, Paltan and Motijheel cop shoppes on different dates in 2010 and 2011 in connection with torching and vandalising vehicles, assault on coppers and preventing them from discharging their duties. Azhar and the other six accused were set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock on September 19 last year and had been charged in five other cases filed with Ramna and Paltan cop shoppes. However, a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all... the High Court granted them bail in all the cases. Deputy Commissioner Monirul Islam of the Detective Branch of Police said last Tuesday they set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock Azhar again as he walked out of Dhaka Central Jail on High-Court bail and that they had not disclosed the arrest that day. Showing the seven set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock in the eight assault-on-police cases, the DB produced the arrestees before a Dhaka court yesterday seeking a 10-day remand in the case filed with Ramna Police Station. Metropolitan Magistrate Assaduzzaman Nur, however, granted a three-day remand of the arrestees. In an assault-on-police case filed with Motijheel Police Station, the court of Metropolitan Magistrate Hasibul Haque placed them on a one-day remand. The same court yesterday granted them bail in two other cases filed with Paltan and Motijheel cop shoppes and fixed April 2 for hearing on a remand prayer in the remaining four cases. The six others, who were shown set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock in the eight cases following appeals submitted by the investigation officers, include Abul Kashem, Ashrafuzzaman, Mohammad Redwan, Nasir Ullah, Abul Mannan and Asif Hossain. |
