Re: 1971 Rapes: Bangladesh Cannot Hide History
That was unfortunate that leader of such caliber used racist and ugly language for the whole community. But I consider his major blunder was bringing back 95000 war criminals. Those involved in genocide and rape should have been punished according to crime they committed. It would have been much better if organizers and people involved in Al-Shams and Al-Badr genocide should have faced the same fate.

DHAKA: Bangladesh on Thursday hanged Abdul Quader Molla, a top Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) leader known as the “Butcher of Mirpur,” making him the first person to be put to death for massacres committed during the country’s bloody 1971 war of independence.
Deputy law minister Quamrul Islam announced the execution, saying Abdul Quader Molla, 65, a senior leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, was hanged by the neck at 10.01 pm (1601 GMT) in a jail in the capital Dhaka.
“It’s an historic moment. Finally after four decades, the victims of the genocides of 1971 liberation war have got some justice,” Islam told AFP.
