HC gives Shariatpur admin 15 days to tell why it could not save life of 14-year-old rape victim
L-R: Mofiz Uddin and Joynal Staff Correspondent The High Court yesterday ordered district officials in Shariatpur to explain why they failed to protect 14-year-old rape victim Hena from being whipped to death as per a fatwa on Monday.
The deputy commissioner, the superintendent of police of Shariatpur and the thana nirbahi officer of Naria upazila -- where the incident took place--will have to report to the HC in 15 days how it happened although the court (HC) had eight months ago declared fatwa illegal and a punishable offence.
In a suo moto rule, the HC directed them also to report what steps they have taken in this regard.
An HC bench comprised of Justice AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik and Justice Sheikh Md Zakir Hossain issued the rule following press reports on the killing of Hena.
The reports said Hena was raped by her 40-year-old relative Mahbub on Sunday. Next day, a fatwa was announced at a village arbitration that she must be given 100 lashes. She fell unconscious after nearly 80 lashes.
Fatally injured Hena was rushed to Naria health complex where she succumbed to her injuries.
Supreme Court lawyer Seema Zahur yesterday placed before the HC bench a press report on the incident on behalf of Bangladesh National Women Lawyers Association.
Meanwhile, another HC bench yesterday directed the law enforcement agencies to submit a report to it within three weeks on what steps have been taken following this incident in the light of its judgement on extra-judicial punishment.
The bench comprised of Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain and Justice Nazrul Islam Talukder also ordered the information ministry to run a media campaign to create awareness among people against extra-judicial punishment.
The bench headed by Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain on July 8 last year delivered the verdict declaring illegal all kinds of extra-judicial punishment including those in the name of fatwa at local arbitrations.
Following three writ petitions, the court directed the authorities concerned to take punitive action against people involved in enforcing fatwa against women.
It also observed that infliction of brutal punishment including caning, whipping and beating at local salish [arbitration] by persons devoid of judicial authority constitutes violation of the constitutional rights.
Barristers Rabia Bhuiyan, Sara Hossain and Mahbub Shafique, and advocate KM Hafizul Alam, lawyers for the writ petitioners, yesterday placed the judgement to the bench following the incident involving Hena.
Ain O Salish Kendra (ASK), a human rights watchdog, expressed deep concern and shock yesterday at the killing of teenage rape victim Hena.
It demanded punitive action against those who enforced fatwa concerning her.
The ASK called upon the government to take effective steps to stop recurrence of such incidents.
Death to Islam. Utterly disgusting.

What a sick, evil society to condone the murder of a child who was a victim of a sadistic crime! “Religion of peace” my patootie. Wake up, America!
Unbelievable cruelty.....growing fiercer & fiercer.

Imagine the deranged minds of mother’s watching and having to live through horrors like this. The rage, the horror, Oh wait, Islamic mother’s abide it...

There's a famous dialogue in the first Star Wars movie:
[R2-D2 and Chewbacca are playing the holographic game aboard the Millennium Falcon]Feminists will screech loudly about people, but only people unlikely to slit their throats in response.
Chewbacca: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrgh!
C-3PO: He made a fair move. Screaming about it can't help you.
Han Solo: Let him have it. It's not wise to upset a Wookiee.
C-3PO: But sir, nobody worries about upsetting a droid.
Han Solo: That's 'cause droids don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that.
Chewbacca: Grrf.
C-3PO: I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, R2: let the Wookiee win.
What did they do to the rapist?
This is just the very same Sharia which the DNC,
the impostor Obama, and the RINOs, are busy
importing into America, wholesale.
Death cult... that’s all islam is... an evil, satanic death cult.
Charge the perpetrators with murder, and execute them.
These people are animals. And they want to control America.
ex-CIA Agent Reveals: “Muslim Brotherhood” has infiltrated Obama Administration ( must see video)
MohamMad (piss be upon him) and his damn death cult needs to extirpated root and branch.
The amount of human suffering and death created by this evil system eclipses that of all other tyrannies.
Hitler only reigned for ten years, communism only for about a Century.
Muslims have been murdering, raping, torturing, enslaving and exterminating people since the 600’s - and apparently it still goes on today - more and more.
In a few years we could be witnessing atrocities in Islamic sties like this right here in America.
A few repetitions and the practice would stop.
Democrat Party FemiNazis, such as N.O.W., are always silent on Islamic against women.
No babies to murder in wretched abortion hellholes, so they are not interested.
Why does this page refuse to load?
CENSORSHIP by the paper?
Not at all surprising. Anywhere Islam is allowed to root and grow this is what happens. This is the ugly unvarnished face of Islam that liberals in this country seem so enchanted w/. They seem oblivious to the fact they’d be the first to be stoned/whipped/etc. Stuck on stupid? You bet...
Damn savages. They bring death to the innocent.
Round up the responsible and serve them some justice.
