Staff Correspondent

Police last night arrested seven Hizb ut-Tahrir activists in the city's Badda area and seized leaflets containing 'provocative statements over Pilkhana carnage'.

The arrestees are Abdur Rakib, 44, Sahadat Hossain, 23, Fakrul Hasan, 22, Abdullah-al-Mamun, 25, Noman Sikdar, 25, Arifuzzaman, 22, and Mir Salekin, 22.

Officer-in-Charge (OC) Kazi Wazed Ali of Badda Police Station told The Daily Star that after a tip-off they raided a three-storey building at West Kuril at around 9:30pm and found the Tahrir men meeting on the roof.

Several locals including teenage boys were in attendance.

The Hizb ut-Tahrir operatives were holding the meeting without prior permission they needed to do so, he added.

Besides the leaflets, a laptop, CDs and a banner were recovered during the raid.

In primary interrogations, the arrestees admitted they are members of the Islamic outfit suspected to have links to militancy.

OC Wazed said the others were not detained as they were there believing it was going to be a religious gathering.

Pakistan's rulers strike at Islam's basis using lowly tactics

On 13 April, President Asif Ali Zardari signed the Swat Nazam-e-Adl Regulation. However, it is not the first pact that the Pakistani government has made with Tahreek-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Muhammadi (TNSM). In the past, Pakistan's rulers have made pacts with TNSM in 1994, 1999 and 2007 as well. And again, as in the past, the government of Pakistan is not sincere in her measures

Statement of Protest from Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bangladesh

Statement of Protest from Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bangladesh

To: The Home Minister Sahara Khatun and State Minister for Home Affairs Sohel Taj

On 25th April 2009, a private television channel broadcast a news report quoting the State Minister for Home Affairs Sohel Taj in which it was stated that the Home Ministry has included Hizb ut-Tahrir in its list of twelve organizations being monitored for links with militancy. In response to this, Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bangladesh sends to you this Statement of Protest condemning your decision in the strongest possible terms. Hizb ut-Tahrir states firmly and unequivocally that your decision is politically motivated and lacks sound awareness of the party's ideology in particular its method of work. 

Firstly, regarding your decision being politically motivated, we make the following two points:

1. Your recourse to the brutality and false propaganda against Hizb ut-Tahrir results from your failure to face the party's opposition to your government through just political means and from your desperateness to silence the party. Hizb ut-Tahrir has successfully exposed Indian conspiracy behind the BDR massacre and the dubious role of your government in the conspiracy. On 28th February the party issued a leaflet which stated that the massacre of the military officers was part of a ‘long term plot carried out by India and her agents inside and outside the government.' Your government arrested 31 of our members and activists for distributing the leaflet. And since then the government has undertaken fascist repressive measures against the party. On 27th March your government instructed the police force to launch a brutal attack on the party's demonstration against the dubious role of the government in the Pilkhana massacre where more than 100 were injured and 10 more party activists were arrested. Despite this the party has continued its programme of activities and mobilizing public opinion. Since your decision to include the name of Hizb ut-Tahrir in the so-called ‘black list' comes following your failure to deter the party through the repressive measures it leaves no room for any doubt in the minds of the aware people that it is a politically motivated decision.

2. Your decision also results from your fear and the imperialists' fear of Islam as a political ideology and Hizb ut-Tahrir's intellectual and political activities which have gained strong popular support for the party among the Muslims of Bangladesh.The degenerate secular system and the so-called democratic form of government (led by your alliance government and the BNP alliance) have failed the people of Bangladesh. And as a result of Hizb ut-Tahrir's sincere work the Muslims of Bangladesh are realizing that their salvation does not lie in the system subservient to the disbelieving polytheist states - USA, Britain and India.  

Hizb ut-Tahrir  has demonstrated to the people that Islam is not a spiritual Deen; rather Islam is a comprehensive political ideology providing detailed models regarding ruling, economy, foreign policy etc and Islam is capable of solving problems faced by the man of the 21st century. Hizb ut-Tahrir has also demonstrated that Islam has made it mandatory upon the Muslims to restore the rule by what Allah (SWT) has revealed by establishing the Islamic state (Khilafah "Caliphate" state), which is an ideological state. It is not a theocratic state opposed to science, technology and society's quest for progress. The Khilafah "Caliphate" state will secure progress, industrialization, technological advancement and military superiority for the Muslim Ummah as a result of which she will free herself from the clutches of the imperialist nations and restore her former glory. The leaders of the Khilafah "Caliphate" state will be enlightened statesmen possessing sound understanding of the international situation able to guide the Muslim Ummah to establish herself in the position of world's leading nation. Therefore the intellectually aware people and the general people are gathering around the ideology of the party i.e. Islam and the party itself. This is what makes you and your so-called intellectuals resort to false propaganda and using brutal means against the party. It a sign of your weakness; for it reveals your inabiliity to face the party with any strong intellectual challege and just political means. And Allah willing Hizb ut-Tahrir will progress towards achieving the noble goal of removing the corrupt system you uphold and re-establishing the Khilafah "Caliphate" state soon.   

Secondly, regarding the party's method of work, it is well know to everyone with political awareness that Hizb ut-Tahrir is a global Islamic political party which operates intellectually and politically in all Islamic lands with the aim of re-establishing the Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate". The party has adopted its method of establishing the Khilafah "Caliphate" from the Sunnah of the Prophet Mohammad (saw), which is the non-violent political and intellectual struggle in the society so that the Muslim Ummah strongly embraces the Islamic Aqeedah; makes Islam the center of her thoughts and emotions and practices Islam in her life. The Party places the erroneous ideas and the corrupt systems at the center of its intellectual and political struggle, and exposes the colonialists' plans in Islamic lands.

Oh Ministers!

Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bangladesh urges you and your government to refrain from your deceptive tactics, false propaganda and repressive measures against the party and its members. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has warned of severe and harsh punishment in the Hereafter for such actions. 

"Verily, those who oppress and torture believing men and women, and do not repent from such deeds, they shall be put in the Hellfire"

Finally we remind you that despite all hardship, oppression, torture and illegal prosecution of party members you will not succeed in making Hizb ut-Tahrir falter in its determination and resolve for establishment of the Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate". Hizb ut-Tahrir's members are ready to make any kind of sacrifices, and will continue to work for this cause without any fear of persecution, hoping to earn their reward with Allah (SWT).

"And who is better in speech than he who invites (men) to Allah, does righteous deeds and says: "I am one of the Muslims"

Torture matter of policy under Bush

A Senate inquiry published on Wednesday directly implicates senior members of the Bush administration in the extensive use of harsh interrogation methods against al-Qaida suspects and other prisoners round the world. The 232-page report, the most detailed investigation yet into the background of torture, undercuts the claim of the then deputy defence secretary, Paul Wolfowitz, that the abuse of prisoners in Iraq was the work of "a few bad apples". The report says: "The abuse of detainees in US custody cannot simply be attributed to the actions of "a few bad apples" acting on their own. The fact is that senior officials in the United States government solicited information on how to use aggressive techniques, redefined the law to create the appearance of their legality, and authorised their use against detainees." The report says that instructors trained CIA and other military personnel early in 2002 on the use of harsher interrogation techniques but warned that information obtained might be unreliable.

World losses top $4 trillion says IMF report

Financial institutions in the United States, Western Europe and Japan face credit losses of more than $4 trillion as the global economy continues to deteriorate during its deepest and longest recession in more than 60 years, the International Monetary Fund reported Tuesday. U.S. financial institutions face asset write-downs totalling $2.7 trillion, nearly double the $1.4 trillion in write-offs that were projected in October, the IMF said in its latest Global Financial Stability report. The gloomy report, released in advance of this weekend's IMF meeting in Washington, predicted that "the global credit crisis is likely to be deep and long lasting." The report said capital flows to emerging markets have "come to a halt." IMF chief economist Olivier Blanchard predicted at a briefing that "it is going to take quite a while until we see a return to capital outflows" to emerging markets, even "if the banking system is slowly repaired in advanced countries." As financial institutions see their credit losses soar, they face "further pressure" to "raise capital and shed assets," the IMF said

Islamic law in Somalia?

Somalia's Parliament voted unanimously last week to institute Islamic law, a measure lawmakers say they hope will strengthen popular support for the government and siphon it away from the Islamist militias fighting an insurgency here. The vote ratified a decision by the cabinet last month to adopt the legal code of Islam based on the Koran, known as Shariah."God is great, God is great, the Parliament voted for the implementation of the Shariah law," the deputy speaker of Parliament, Osman Elmi Boqore, said after the vote. "We are grateful that we implemented it today." The minister of justice, Sheik Abdirahman Mohamoud Farah, speaking to the lawmakers, said that the opposition hard-liners would no longer be able to use. However, the minister of justice, Sheik Abdirahman Mohamoud Farah, revealed the government's motives for implementing partial shariah when he said that the opposition hard-liners would no longer be able to use Islam as a justification for attacking the government.

America itching to train the Pakistani army

The Obama administration wants to pursue broader military ties with Pakistan to help Islamabad combat a growing threat from militant groups including the Taliban, a Pentagon official said on Tuesday. Michele Flournoy, U.S. under secretary of defense for policy, said Washington wants to provide the Pakistani army with training and advice on counterinsurgency tactics developed in Iraq and Afghanistan and support ongoing operations with intelligence and other assistance."We need to substantially increase our military assistance and broaden the form," she said at a forum hosted by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies. U.S. officials have long been eager to provide counterinsurgency training for the Pakistani army but have been largely rebuffed by army leaders reluctant to shift away from a conventional military posture aimed at countering any threat from arch rival India.

Indians even bar celebrity Muslims from renting houses

India's Muslims face new discrimination following last November's attacks in Mumbai and now even Bollywood's Muslim celebrities are being denied housing in Hindu residential complexes, a leading US newspaper reported last week. The Washington Post correspondent in Mumbai interviewed with some well-placed Muslims who were barred from renting a place to live. The post stated: "The phenomenon has become known here [Mumbai] as ‘renting while Muslim.' It raises questions that go to the heart of India's identity as a secular democracy that is home to nearly every major religion on the planet. " India has some 200 million Muslims out of a population of 1 billion.
