Why Isnt the Government of Bangladesh taking action on the Jihadist Organization? Ms. Hana Shams Ahmed, Coordinator of Chittagong Hill Tract Commission, an international human rights watchdog on CHT, was attacked by members of a CHT based jihadist organization, Somo Adhikar Andolan, yesterday in Bandarban Hill District. It may be noted this is the second attack on members of the Commission by criminals belonging to the same organization. The first attack took place in July 2014 when members of the Commission visited CHT to study the human rights situation therein. There is a strong indication that the criminals carried out this attack on the tip of a circle (probably Bangladesh military intelligence agency DGFI) aware of her visit to Bandarban. Ms. Ahmed came here from Dhaka on a personal visit for sightseeings at the Chimbuk Hill Station along with one of her woman-friends. There are allegations that DGFI officials sheltered and protected Muhammad Emran, the leader of the jihadist organization and the prime accused in the first attack, at one of their disclosed locations in Dhaka while police was searching him for arrest. So a question arises-- why isnt Bangladesh Government cracking down the jihadist organization despite its repeated attacks on members of the international human rights body? We strongly condemn the attacks and demand the followings: (1) Independent and impartial national and/or international judicial investigations into the attacks; (2) Immediate arrest and punishment of the criminals and their accomplices involved in the attacks as per law; and (3) Permanent ban on Somo Adhikar Andolan.
