“US deports Bangladeshi coup man”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A former Bangladeshi army officer has been deported from the United States and then arrested on his arrival in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka.

Mohiuddin Ahmed was convicted in absentia in 1998 for his role in the 1975 military coup and assassination of President Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Ahmed spent several years fighting his deportation from the US.

He was one of 15 people found guilty of killing Sheikh Mujibur. Most of them were sentenced to death.

Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was the figurehead of the fight for the creation of Bangladesh which had been East Pakistan.”
