News from the Frontlines of Persecution



Summary: DHAKA, Bangladesh, October 1 MPBS24/7 From CDN – Police in Nilphamari district have charged Christian day laborer Abul Hossen with cattle theft four days after the primary suspect confessed and testified that Hossen had no part in it, according to a defense attorney and a local official present in the courtroom. Police submitted the charge sheet against the convert from Islam on Sept. 12, even though Sirajul Islam had confessed to the crime and testified on Sept. 8 that Hossen was not involved and that he did not know him. Arrested on Aug. 21 in Dubachari village some 300 kilometers (186 miles) northwest of Dhaka, Hossen was released on bail the same day that Islam testified to his innocence. “I do not know him,” Islam testified, according to Hossen’s lawyer, Alimuddin Bosunia. “That Abul Hossen who was with me during the theft is short in height, but this Abul Hossen is taller. This Abul Hossen was not involved in the cattle theft.” Shamcharan Roy, chairman of the local government body known as a union council, corroborated Bosunia’s account of the confession. “The thief present in the dock of the court confessed that he did not know the arrested Abul Hossen, and that Hossen was not involved in the cattle theft,” said Roy, a Hindu. “It remained somewhat of a mystery why police submitted the charge sheet against Abul Hossen.” Hossen told Compass that Islam also testified that the local union council secretary of the ruling Bangladesh Awami League party and his associates incited the thief to initially accuse him. Christian villagers have said that influential Muslims had Hossen accused in order to discredit his ministry. Local Police Chief Nurul Islam told Compass that authorities submitted the charge sheet against the Christian convert on Sept. 12 based on Sirajul Islam’s initial statement.
