FACES OF THE 1971 HINDU GENOCIDE
ATM AZHARUL ISLAM
THE JHARUARBEEL MASSACRE | 1,200 CIVILIANS REPORTED KILLED | OVER 200 HINDUS ALLEGEDLY ABDUCTED AND MURDERED | DEATH SENTENCE OVERTURNED
On 17 April 1971, Pakistani soldiers and their local collaborators carried out a massacre at Jharuarbeel in Rangpur, then East Pakistan.
According to the prosecution case examined by Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal, approximately 1,200 unarmed civilians were killed in the attack.
The prosecution also alleged that more than 200 Hindus and students were captured, taken to an unknown location and murdered.
Among those accused of helping organise the atrocities was ATM Azharul Islam, then president of the Rangpur unit of Islami Chhatra Sangha, the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami.
THE JHARUARBEEL MASSACRE: 17 APRIL 1971
Pakistani soldiers and armed collaborators surrounded Jharuarbeel and opened fire on civilians.
The prosecution described indiscriminate shootings of men, women, children and students.
Houses were looted and burned.
The tribunal's original judgment accepted evidence implicating Azharul Islam in the massacre.
It convicted him of crimes against humanity and genocide in connection with the events.
THE MURDER OF HINDU PROFESSORS
Another charge concerned the abduction and killing of four teachers associated with Rangpur's Carmichael College:
Professor Chitta Ranjan Roy, Professor Sunil Baron Chakraborty, Professor Ram Krishna Adhikary and Professor Kalachand Roy.
Monju Sree Roy, wife of Professor Kalachand Roy, was also named among the victims.
These murders formed part of the allegations examined during Azharul Islam's prosecution.
THE ORIGINAL VERDICT
On 30 December 2014, Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal sentenced ATM Azharul Islam to death.
On 31 October 2019, the Supreme Court upheld his death sentence.
For several years, he remained imprisoned under that conviction.
THE SUPREME COURT REVERSAL: 27 MAY 2025
In a major legal reversal, a seven judge bench of Bangladesh's Supreme Court overturned the earlier conviction and death sentence.
ATM Azharul Islam was acquitted of all charges. He was released from custody on 28 May 2025.
In its subsequently published judgment, the Supreme Court acknowledged that its earlier decision had failed to give adequate consideration to deficiencies in the evidence and the requirements of a fair criminal trial.
The acquittal means that Azharul Islam cannot accurately be described as a convicted war criminal.
The earlier tribunal findings and the prosecution's allegations remain part of the historical court record, but they no longer establish his criminal guilt.

दीपक केवल मिट्टी का एक पात्र नहीं, चेतना का जागरण है। वह युगों से हमें सीख दे रहा है कि अंधकार से लड़ना नहीं होता, केवल एक ज्योति जलानी होती है और अंधकार विदा हो जाता है।
मर्यादा पुरुषोत्तम प्रभु श्री राम के आगमन के हर्षोल्लास में सप्तपुरियों में श्रेष्ठ श्री अयोध्या धाम में आयोजित होने वाला पावन दीपोत्सव इसका साक्षात दर्शन कराता है।
आज हम सभी माँ सरयू को साक्षी मानकर प्रभु श्री राम की प्राणों से प्रिय नगरी में 10वां दीपोत्सव मनाने जा रहे हैं।
अयोध्या का दीपोत्सव हमारी आस्था, आत्मगौरव और सनातन चेतना के पुनर्जाग���ण का महापर्व है।
जब श्री राम जन्मभूमि पर दीप जलें, तब आप अपने-अपने घर-आंगन में भी दीप जलाएं।
आइए, सनातन सत्य के उद्घोष का उत्सव मनाएं।
जय जय श्री राम!
