Bangladesh’s abstention from voting on a resolution on March 2, 2022 is not a diplomatic dilemma.

The International Crimes Tribunal-1 issues arrest warrant against three Sherpur men for their alleged involvement with crimes during the Liberation War in 1971.

The prosecution presses two charges against four Moulvibazar men for their alleged involvement in crimes committed during the Liberation War in 1971.

In 1971, during Bangladesh's Liberation War, much of the action was confined to the territory of Bangladesh, but there were battles being fought in locations many oceans away.

It is really not a surprise that Pakistan would make a statement which pretty much echoes what the research has been revealing all along: that Pakistan justifies the war crimes; that Pakistan will not take responsibility for the harm they inflicted on an entire people in 1971.

More than four decades on, the present day government of Pakistan has unabashedly and deliberately chosen to deny history. This is not just shameful; it is infinitely more immoral.

A protest note is sent to Amnesty International through Bangladesh High Commission in London asking them to withdraw their statement against pro-liberation forces and apologise.
