Ninth session of the Forum on Minority Issues Palais des Nations Geneva, Switzerland November 24- 25, 2016 Minorities in situation of Humanitarian Crises Presented by Amarendra Roy,President of Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist & Christians Unity Council EU And Board of Director Human Rights Congress for Bangladesh Minorities An NGO ECOSOC Iteam; Legal Framework and Key Concern Honorable Madam Chair and distinguished participants, Thank you for giving me the opportunity to present before you the case of religious and ethnic cleansing that the minorities of Bangladesh have been subjected to for decades, leading to a continuous exodus. Minority situations, its character and nature might differ from country to country but no doubt end result of same which is being experienced by every country is the humanitarian crisis. In Bangladesh, it is the religious, ethnic and indigenous minorities who were ruthlessly subjected to genocide and mass destruction during the nine months war of liberation in 1971. It is a matter of great regret and sorrow that even after 45 years of independence the religious, ethnic and indigenous minorities are the main target of mass atrocities.They are continuously suffering from communal persecution, discrimination, torture and deprivation in all sphere of life. They are also the main target of present terrorism which is being inspired and influenced by Islamic State, Taleban, Al-Qaida. The Hindus, Buddhists and Christians of the country which include approximately 2.5 million indigenous peoples, are being systematically eliminated through blatant discrimination, denial of access to legal protection and violence. Acting with complete impunity, the Muslim nationalists and extremists have conducted pogroms against the minorities whenever they have wanted to, and regardless of which political party has been in power. -

Reed ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Remember that you are all people and that all people are you. Remember you are this universe and that this universe is you. Remember all is in motion, is growing, is you. Remember language comes from this. Remember the dance that language is, that life is. Remember to remember. —Joy Harjo, “Remember” I would like to thank my committee for their encouragement and guidance throughout my stay at Washington State University, and through the chaos of living in five states and two countries while working on my dissertation. They have all helped me grow so much—not just as a scholar, but also as a human being. Victor Villanueva has been not only a real friend to me through many of life’s challenges, but has also been instrumental in shaping my understanding of political economy on a global—rather world-systems—scale and how it speaks to ideology and the rhetorics of racism and imperialism. Victor’s course on contemporary rhetoric was exceptional not only because of the rigorous theoretical lens through which he taught the course, but because he also managed to get a bunch of grumpy, sleep-deprived graduate students excited about learning and laughing (and even dancing!) at 9:00 in the morning. -
Awami League Sets the Worst Example of Human Rights Violation in Bangladesh
Awami League sets the worst example of human rights violation in Bangladesh The human right situation of a country reveals its real status in perspective of civilization and modesty. In that context, we are at the last end of the bottom. Renowned scholar Gettel had said, “In a state of nature real liberty for all would be impossible. But what would happen if the state becomes the prime obstruction to the citizen rights. Under such worst consequence, people‟s basic rights are taken away and the law and the judiciary face ultimate collapse. Even before coming to the office, Awami League initiated its worst culture of human rights violation. Immediate after the independence through the liberation war of 1971, Awami League came into the power as the first government. Coming to the power for the maiden time in those days, Awami League commenced its ill practices like terrorism, corruption, looting and extortion and also launched a new trend of violating human rights by oppressing the dissident forces. News of such massive irregularities was published in the newspaper of those days. Noted journalist Anthony Macarenhas mentioned in his famous book „Legacy of Blood‟ that, “the entire situation became horrible due to terrorism, looting and vindictive activities of the armed terrorist groups. After the liberation war, Sheikh Mujib formed an elite para-military force formed on 8 February 1972 by an order commonly known as 'Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini Act, 1972' X. It was an auxiliary force of police which turned into a private army loyal only to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Professor Ghulam Murshid compared it with Gestapo, while Anthony Mascarenhas said that there were a few differences between Hitler's Nazis and Mujib's Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini. -
