আপনি কি ভাবছেন কিভাবে প্রবাসে থেকে শাহবাগের আন্দোলনের সাথে সামিল হতে পারবেন?

আন্তর্জাতিক নিউজ মিডিয়া AP-তে কর্মরত ঢাকাস্থ প্রতিনিধিও (জুলহাস আলম) ওই ছাগুদেরই একজন যে কিনা আন্তর্জাতিকভাবে এই আন্দোলনকে বিদেশীদের কাছে অন্য রূপ দেয়ার চেষ্টা করছে। ইতিমধ্যে ABC, Washington Post, Miami Herald এর মতো বিখ্যাত আন্তর্জাতিক মিডিয়াগুলো AP-র খরবের উপর ভিত্তি করে মিথ্যা, বিভ্রান্তিকর খবরাদি প্রচার করছে।

আসুন, AP-কে জানাই এই মিথ্যা প্রচার বন্ধ করতে ...

Dear Editor,

The AP Dhaka Office reporter Julhas Alam is providing wrong and twisted information in his reports on the recent protest in Bangladesh. In his recent report on Feb. 8 “Bangladesh Protest Calls for Death for War Crimes” Mr. Alam wrote:

“The protesters in Dhaka urged Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to review a verdict sentencing a senior leader of Bangladesh's largest Islamic party, Jamaat-e-Islami, to life in prison for killings and other crimes.”

However, the truth is Sheikh Hasina does not have any authority to review verdicts given by the International Criminal Tribunal (ICT) and no one is requesting her to do so. People are protesting spontaneously against this verdict in the streets as they want no less than a death sentence to these war criminals.

Also, Jamaat-e-Islami is a “fundamentalist” Islamist party in Bangladesh, whose objective is to establish Sharia Law in the country. Most of their leaders are war criminals and acted as collaborators of the Pakistan Army in 1971, and involved in genocide, killing, rape and other heinous crimes. Although they were in coalition with the previous government, the argument Mr. Alam was trying to put in his article was not true.

He wrote another article on Feb 6- “Protests hit Bangladesh after war crimes verdict ”, where the title and the images used in the article were totally misleading with respect to the content he provided. Mr. Alam mostly discussed about the fairness of the trail and the strike ordered by the Jamaat-e-Islami in his article, but most of the images used were from the Shahbag protest.

We appreciate if you would investigate his articles and take immediate action as these are giving wrong messages to public and the world media about this people’s protest in Bangladesh.

Sincerely,
