NASIM-MAJED-INTERROGATION
Nasim for further interrogation of Majed before execution of verdict
DHAKA, April 9, 2020 (BSS) – Awami League (AL) Presidium member Mohammed
Nasim today demanded of the government to further interrogate arrested
Bangabandhu murder trial convict sacked military captain Abdul Majed before
the execution of his death penalty.
“This death sentence (of Majed) must be executed… But it’s better to
interrogate him before for more information regarding the killing of
Bangabandhu and four national leaders. In the interrogation, it will also be
known where the other killers of Bangabandhu fled,” he told BSS through a
video clip here.
Nasim, also 14-party spokesperson, thanked the law enforces of the country
as they arrested him during the coronavirus pandemic.
Mohammed Nasim is the son of Muhammad Mansur Ali, one of the four national
leaders.
Majed was one of the remaining fugitives believed to be hiding abroad with
no confirmed whereabouts.
After the August 15, 1975 carnage, Majed was rehabilitated in civil service
during the subsequent regime of Ziaur Rahman as an ex-cadre official and
posted as the director of National Savings Department and later he was
transferred to the finance ministry.
He fled the country along with most other 1975 coup plotters as the 1996
general elections brought Awami League back to power under Sheikh Hasina’s
leadership which vowed to expose Bangabandhu’s killers to justice in line
with its election manifesto.
