[Dhaka Tribune] Two days into the gruesome murder of secular writer Niladri Chatterjee, Inspector General of Police AKM Shahidul Haque yesterday advised the free-thinkers not to hurt religious feelings through their writings.Particularly Moslem feelings.
Mentioning that it is a punishable offence, Shahidul said: "No one should cross the limit. And for hurting someone's religious sentiment, the person will be punished by the law."
Having people hacked to death because of something they typed hurts my religious feelings. What are you gonna do about it?
Maximum punishment under the Penal Code and the ICT Act is 14 years of jail sentence.
That's for making Moslems unhappy, assuming they don't kill you before you ever see a judge.
Speaking at a presser, the police chief also said that they do not support killing someone for writings. "If any person is hurt by any writing, s/he may take legal action. They can file a case with the police. Everyone should obey the law."
Where do we sign up?
He also asked the bloggers to contact with the police if they feel threatened. "The police will ensure their security."We saw that.
Shahidul claimed that they had not got any hit list of bloggers.
Nope. Each and every one's a surprise. I mean, who'da thunkit? Moslems murdering people for their opinions is just such a rarity!
Regarding the police's refusal of registering a GD that Niloy wanted to file in May, the IGP said that a police investigation committee was looking into the matter.
It won't do him much good now, and probably it'll get lost in the shuffle of routine paperwork.
Ansar Al Bangla, which claimed responsibilities for the killing of Niladri -- also known as Niloy Neel, alleged that the writer was an enemy of Islam.
Living in an Islamic paradise as he did, Niloy probably came to the conclusion he was surrounded by murderous bastards.
RAB Director General Benazir Ahmed said that the so-called list of 84 bloggers contained pen names. "For this, it became difficult for the law enforcers to find them and give protection."
Did you try Google? Or the phone book, assuming there is still such a thing.
About arresting Niloy's killers, Benazir said that the elite force had the facilities to find criminals through digital movement tracking system.
I've no idea what he's talking about unless they stole his computer and the operating system calls home now and then.
One of the four killers had used mobile phone inside Niloy's flat before he was hacked to death, victim's family said.
That's certainly a start, unless your intel system's been forbidden to collect metadata..
At a meeting before the briefing, the IGP claimed that they were 80% successful in containing terrorism in the country.
So that means they've got a twenty percent baffle rate.
Since 2004, a total of 632 holy warrior-related cases have been filed. Of those, police filed charge sheets in 516 cases and incarcerated
Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try!
2,543 persons.
Hang on. I'm still trying to figure what he's talking about...
He said that in Avijit Roy murder case, the faces of the criminals had been identified but the police do not have information about their location and actual identity. "Charge sheet in Oyasiqur Rahman Babu murder case will be pressed soon."
How soon?
Very soon.
About the recent child murder incidents, Shahidul said that those crimes were not carried out in an organised manner. "The killers are psychopaths."
Most krazed killers are. They probably make up a majority of Pakistain's population. The Banglas are probably really glad they seceded, even if they did have to be invaded by an army of psychopaths working hand in glove with a domestic fifth column made up of domestic psychopaths.
He said that the police would submit charge sheets in Rabiul and Rakib murder cases any time this month, but the Rajon murder case might delay since the main accused is in Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
. "If the procedure of bringing him back is delayed, the police will submit the charge sheet."
