5 Bangabandhu killers hanged

rejected; bodies sent to their village homes with police escort
Clockwise:

Ahmed and Mohiuddin Ahmed Shariful
Islam, Kailash Sarkar and Ashutosh Sarkar
Five condemned killers of
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman were hanged early today at Dhaka Central Jail
amid tight security.
The dismissal paved the way for
executing the five killers of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his
family members any time within January 31.
"Sultan Shahriar Rashid and
Syed Farooq Rahman were the first to walk the gallows at 12:05am. They were
handcuffed and their heads were covered in black hoods in the final minutes to
midnight," Dhaka Deputy Commissioner Zillar Rahman told The Daily Star
soon after he walked out of the jail premises around 1:45am.
Two hangmen put two nooses around
the necks of the two condemned killers. Two other hangmen--Hafiz and
Shahjahan--were ready to pull levers to slide apart the scaffolds.
It was 12:05am. Dhaka Jail
Superintendent Touhidul Islam dropped a handkerchief from his hand to give
signal to the hangmen. The two chief hangmen pulled the levers.
Sultan Shahriar and Farooq were kept
hanging for half an hour to confirm their death, witnesses said.
At 12:35am, two other killers of
Bangabandhu--AKM Mohiuddin and Bazlul Huda--were brought to the gallows. They
were also executed in a similar fashion.
Then it was the turn for Mohiuddin
Ahmed. He was brought to a gallows at 1:05am and was hanged following all
rituals.
The authorities had taken up a
three-layer security measure for the execution.
Members of Rapid Action Battalion,
police and armed police battalion were deployed around Dhaka Central Jail.
Vehicular movement was restricted on the road in front of the jail gate.
Besides, law enforcement and
intelligence agencies were kept alert across the country to avert any untoward
incident.
As the news spread earlier that the
five convicts would be executed, several hundred people started gathering at
the jail gate in the evening, reported our staff correspondents Rashidul Hasan
and Shaheen Mollah. A lot of people brought out processions in different parts
of the capital including Bangabandhu's residence in Dhanmondi and Dhaka
University campus.
Civil Surgeon Mushfiqur Rahman,
Inspector General (Prisons) Ashraful Islam Khan, Deputy Commissioner Zillar
Rahman, four magistrates led by the Dhaka district additional deputy
commissioner, Home Secretary Abdus Sobhan Sikder and Dhaka Metropolitan Police
Commissioner AKM Shahidul Hoque arrived at the jail after 10:00pm yesterday.
Jail sources said they bathed the
convicts around 11:00am. Around half an hour later the civil surgeon and two
other doctors conducted medical check-ups of the convicts.
Earlier, the two gallows beside the
condemned cells in the jail were prepared for the execution.
The compound was lit with
floodlights around 11:00pm last night.
The bodies of the five were sent to
their village homes by five ambulances by 3:30am under police and Rab escort
after conducting post mortem, said Jail Superintendent Touhidul Islam.
People were seen throwing shoes at
an ambulance carrying one of the dead bodies.
The five hangmen who performed the
execution are Hafiz, Mohammad Shahjahan, Faruq, Raju and Sanwar.
REVIEW PETITION DISMISSAL
Earlier yesterday, following the dismissal of his review petition, convict Syed
Farooq Rahman in the afternoon appealed to the president for clemency, which
President Zillur Rahman rejected.
Dhaka Jail Superintendent Touhidul
Islam last night confirmed The Daily Star that they received the president's
rejection order.
The Appellate Division rejected the
review petitions as they contained no new arguments and any legal grounds for
reviewing the Supreme Court judgment confirming the death sentences.
In all the petitions, the counsel of
the convicts reiterated points that had already been argued during the hearing
of their appeals against the High Court verdict. The HC had rejected those
pleas.
The four-member bench of the
Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Md Tafazzul Islam pronounced the
order yesterday morning.
The other members of the Appellate
Division bench were justices BK Das, Md Muzammel Hossain and SK Sinha. They
heard arguments on the review petitions for three days from January 24.
Killers Syed Farooq Rahman, Sultan
Shahriar Rashid Khan, Mohiuddin Ahmed, Bazlul Huda and AKM Mohiuddin Ahmed, who
were in condemned cells of Dhaka Central Jail, had filed the review petitions
with the Supreme Court against its verdict.
Law Minister Shafique Ahmed told
reporters that as per jail code, the jail authorities should execute the
convicts between the 21st and 28th days after the trial court issued death
warrants against them.
The death warrants were issued on
January 3 and the countdown started the same day, Shafique said, adding that
this means the last date for execution is January 31.
Earlier in the day, the law minister
held a meeting at his office with Home Minister Sahara Khatun, State Minister
for Law Quamrul Islam, Chief State Counsel Anisul Huq, Attorney General
Mahbubey Alam, Additional Law Secretary Anwarul Haque, Home Secretary Abdus
Sobhan Sikder, Inspector General of Prisons Brig Gen Ashraful Islam Khan and
Dhaka Jail Superintendent Touhidul Islam.
The meeting was held to decide the
next course of action following the passage of the SC orders.
On November 19 last year, the
Supreme Court awarded death penalty to 12 convicts. Apart from the five
executed today, six are on the run and one died.
In an instant reaction to the
dismissal of the review petitions, Chief State Counsel Anisul Huq and Attorney
General Mahbubey Alam told reporters that they are happy with the apex court's
order as they got justice in the case.
"Our fight was for establishing
the rule of law and justice, not envy, and we got justice," Anisul Huq
said.
Mahbubey Alam said the trial proceeding
of one of the most heinous killings in history came to an end with the
dismissal of the review petitions.
Barrister Abdullah-Al Mamun, lawyer
for two convicts, told The Daily Star that they accepted the SC orders although
they were disappointed with the dismissal of the review petitions.
Mamun urged the prime minister to
show mercy to the convicts as a gesture of kindness.
FAROOQ'S MERCY PETITION
Convict Farooq Rahman sought presidential clemency through the jail authority.
The jail authorities forwarded the
petition to the law ministry through the home ministry for legal opinion, a law
ministry official told The Daily Star. But the law ministry subsequently opined
against presidential mercy to Farooq.
The law ministry sent back the
petition to the home ministry, saying although it is the president's
prerogative to grant mercy, it would not be judicious to pardon the condemned
convicts of Bangabandhu murder case.
Three other condemned former army
officers--Mohiuddin Ahmed, AKM Mohiuddin Ahmed and Bazlul Huda--earlier sought
mercy from the president, which the president rejected on January 18.
