Killing of intellectuals

During the war, the Pakistan Army and its local collaborators carried out a systematic execution of the leading Bengali intellectuals. A number of university professors from Dhaka University were killed during the first few days of the war. However, the most extreme cases of targeted killing of intellectuals took place during the last few days of the war. Allegedly, the leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami and its paramilitary arm, the Al-Badr and Al-Shams forces created a list of doctors, teachers, poets, and scholars.Some sources also allege the role of the CIA in devising the plan. On December 14, 1971, only two days before surrendering to the Indian military and the Mukhti Bahini forces, the Pakistani army, with the assistance of local Islamist leaders and groups that chose to ally themselves with the Pakistani military and most notably the Al-Badr and Al-Shams systematicly executed well over 200 of East Pakistan's intellectuals and scholars. Professors, journalists, doctors, artists, engineers, writers were rounded up in Dhaka, blindfolded, taken to Rajarbag in the middle section of the city, and executed en masse. In memory of this event, December 14 is mourned in Bangladesh as Buddhijibi Hotta Dibosh ("Day of Martyred Intellectuals").Also, the Government of Bangladesh has constructed a memorial in Mirpur.

the groups that collaborated with the Pakistanis should have been deported,never granted amnesty.that includes Nizami's forces.
or they should have been killed for treason.even if we had improved our relations with Pakistan, Bangladesh should have removed these Al-Badr elements(now in present day Jamaat-e-Islami) from our politics.

My heartiest thanx to you for Force_Recon to start such a nice thread.

I think we are already forgetting the glorious victory and its purpose. Otherwise how NIZAMI could visit SAVAR national memorial?
