Bangladesh has urged Canada to send back Bangabandhu's killer Noor Chowdhury to execute the court verdict at home.

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen raised the issue during a telephone conversation with his Canadian counterpart François-Philippe Champagne on Wednesday evening.

Dr Momen said it will be a big achievement for the people of Bangladesh if the killer of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is brought back to Bangladesh and the verdict is executed in the year of Bangabandhu's birth centenary.

Minister Champagne reiterated Canada’s support to Bangladesh in responding to the health and economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Canada and Bangladesh enjoy a long-standing relationship, strengthened by development cooperation, growing trade, people-to-people links and Canada’s commitment to support the Rohingya crisis.

The Canadian Minister proposed to form an alliance to face the post-COVID-19 challenges.

He acknowledged that the repatriation of Rohingyas to their place of origin is a "collective responsibility" and assured Bangladesh of Canada's continued support, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Canadian Foreign Minister said they kept their discussion on Rohingya issue open with various countries.

He appreciated Bangladesh's humanitarian gesture and generosity in giving shelter to Rohingyas.

The Canadian Foreign Minister thanked Dr Momen for extending cooperation and help Canadian citizens return home from Bangladesh through chartered flights.

On August 15, 1975, Bangladesh’s founding father Bangabandhu and most of his family members were assassinated by a cabal of military men. Eighteen members of his family were killed on that fateful night.

On November 19, 2009, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court upheld the death penalty of 12 convicted former army officials for the assassination.

Five of them – Syed Farooq Rahman, Sultan Shahriar Rashid Khan, Bazlul Huda, AKM Mohiuddin Ahmed and Mohiuddin Ahmed – were hanged in January 2010. Another convicted killer capt (dismissed) Abdul Majed was hanged on April 12.

Another killer Aziz Pasha met natural death in Zimbabwe in 2001.

The fugitive killers are former Lt Col Khandaker Abdur Rashid, SHBM Noor Chowdhury, Shariful Haque Dalim, Rashed Chowdhury, and Risaldar Moslehuddin.

According to the government, Noor Chowdhury has been living in Canada while Rashed Chowdhury in the USA.

Canada wont deport real criminals to the US if there is a chance they will be executed.
What make you think we will deport this guy to face a kangaroo court to be hanged?
 
One must give credit where it's due, BAL are stalwarts of consistency in a fluid Bangladeshi political arena. They're as BAL as a bal can get. Perfect name.
 
This really depends on what level of pull Bangladesh has with Canada (or for that matter, generally, with any other country).

Outside Bangladesh - this is widely seen as only 'Haseena's Personal Vendetta' to hang these people.

Given that - and judged under a non-Personal and non-Haseena context (and people who don't share in Haseena's own Schadenfreude), they may not revel in sending this or any guy back, only to see him hanged by verdict of a Kangaroo court.

There are plenty of cases of personal vendettas that have arisen in Bangladesh under AL rule and extra-judicial killings sponsored by this govt. The Sagar-Runi journalist husband-wife murders are just one, there are scores more who were shut up forever conveniently, in order to avoid embarrassing the Hasina Govt.

Then there were so many murders just because someone spoke up against Indian Govt. influence in Bangladesh.

Who is going to avenge these murders?

We have to get away from this Khoon-ka-Badla-Khoon mentality and allow free speech to some extent. A benevolent dictator should act somewhat with benevolence and less as a sponsor of extra judicial killings.
