Dhaka University Central Students Union (DUCSU) will execute symbolic death by hanging the six fugitive killers of Bangabandhu and his family members on August 15 of 1975.
On next Tuesday (August 6) the symbolic execution will be held at the Paira Chattar of TSC at 5 in the afternoon.
On Sunday (August 4) at 12-30 noon in a press release signed by Liberation War and Freedom Fighters affairs secretary of DUCSU Saad bin Kader Chowdhury the program was announced.
In the press release it has been said that on August 15 morning of 1975 a group of misdirected army members attacked the residence of Bangabandhu at Dhanmondi Road no. 32. The attackers killed the then President of the Peoples’ Republic of Bangladesh and the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his family members.
In this heinous murder case, the five convicts including Faruk Rahman and Mahiuddin Ahemd was executed on January 28 of 2010. The other seven death sentence convicts are still hiding abroad. One of the convicts Abdul Aziz Pasha died in Zimbabwe while on run.
In the press release it was further said that though 44 years have elapsed the death sentence of these convicts could not be executed despite they committed the heinous and cruelest killings of the history. This is very much shameful and insulting for us.
To show respect to the memory of Bangabandhu the six killers will be hanged symbolically at Paira Cahattar in the afternoon of August 6.
In the press release it was also informed that next, a discussion meeting will be held and the film ‘Plassy to Dhanmondi 32’ film will be screened at TSC. The whole function will be arranged by DUCSU.
