Bakshibazar turns battlefield

It was quite a peaceful showdown by several thousand activists of the BNP and its front organisations around the makeshift court in the capital's Bakshibazar, before party chief Khaleda Zia's appearance there in two graft cases.

All of a sudden, around 200 Chhatra League men equipped with iron rods and sticks swooped on them at about 12:10pm, turning the area into a battle ground dominated by one side. At least 45 people were injured in the fight that lasted for over half an hour. 

Another group of BCL men blocked a BNP procession at Bakshibazar intersection, near Fazle Rabbi Hall of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, and then chased the opposition men, creating panic in the locality.

Minutes later, policemen from around the area teamed up with the BCL men and drove away the leaders and activists of the BNP and Chhatra Dal, a pro-BNP student body, from the area.

Police fired more than 25 tear shells and 100 rubber bullets. Explosions of several crude bombs were also heard.

Before the attack, the law enforcers were seen standing relaxed. 

When some BNP activists took shelter in the DMCH, pro-government staff along with BCL men beat them up.

Fluoride—A Cumulative Poison

Your dentist—along with countless government and public health officials—has praised and promoted the use of fluoride, both in toothpaste and drinking water, calling it a “necessary” part of your oral health regimen.

But You will be surprised to know that, fluoride is not an essential nutrient needed for your health—dental or otherwise. There is not one single metabolic process in your body that requires fluoride. On the contrary, if fact fluoride is a cumulative poison.

Approximately 98 percent of the fluoride you ingest in water is absorbed into your blood through your gastrointestinal tract. From there, it enters your body’s cellular tissues. On average, about 50 percent of the fluoride you ingest each day gets excreted through your kidneys.

The remainder accumulates in your teeth and bones, pineal gland, and other tissues—including your blood vessels, where it can contribute to calcification. According to a 2012 study published in the journal Nuclear Medicine Communications:

“Fluoride uptake in vascular walls was demonstrated in 361 sites of 54 (96 percent) patients, whereas calcification was observed in 317 sites of 49 (88 percent) patients.

Significant correlation between fluoride uptake and calcification was observed in most of the arterial walls, except in those of the abdominal aorta.

Fluoride uptake in coronary arteries was demonstrated in 28 (46 percent) patients and coronary calcifications were observed in 34 (56 percent) patients.”

Health Hazards Linked to Fluoride Over-Exposure

As the number of studies into the toxic effects of fluoride has increased, there is now support for a rather long list of potential health problems related to fluoride accumulation in your body.

For example, according to one 500-page long scientific review,6 fluoride is an endocrine disruptor that can affect your bones, brain, thyroid gland, pineal gland, and even your blood sugar levels.

Forty-two human studies7 have also linked moderately high fluoride exposures with reduced intelligence, and over 100 animal studies have shown that fluoride exposure can cause brain damage.

Most striking among these are 30 (out of a total of 32 investigations) that have shown that fluoride lowered the ability of animals to learn and remember.

The following list contains 20 of the most commonly mentioned health hazards and diseases associated with fluoride exposure:

1. Lowers IQ
2. Brain damage
3. Bone fractures
4. Disrupts immune system
5. Increases tumor 
6. Increases cancer rate
7. Hyperactivity and/or lethargy
8. Dementia
9. Bone cancer (osteosarcoma)
10. Inhibits formation of antibodies
11. Increases aging process
12. Increased lead absorption
13. Muscle disorders
14. Dental fluorosis (staining and pitting of teeth)
15. Genetic damage and cell death
16. Reduces melatonin production and leads to earlier onset of puberty
17. Disrupts synthesis of collagen Arthritis
18. Thyroid disease and lowered thyroid function
19. Inactivates 62 enzymes
20. Damages sperm, increases infertility

Girls fear being on the campus

DU campus turns unsafe for female students

Female students of Dhaka University say they feel insecure on the campus amid the rising number of harassment cases in the recent time.

They say male students of the university, especially the freshers, harass them, an allegation which has been raised by female outsiders as well.

In the last six months, a number of female students complained to the university proctor and police about harassment they had faced but nothing has been done to stop such acts. 

Girls fear being on the campus especially in the evening and beyond as harassment frequently occurs during that period.

Two third-year female students of international business and philosophy were harassed in mid-November by some resident students of Salimullah Muslim Hall while they were sitting with one of their male friends at Fuller Road area.

Shulob Chakma, the male friend and also a third-year student of law, said the boys hurled a stone at one of the girls before coming up and saying that they were very interested in talking to and befriending her.

Shulob told the boys that they all are students of the university, but still were treated inappropriately. The boys also forced them to leave the place.

The two girls, who requested anonymity, expressed deep concern while talking to the Dhaka Tribune and said they were shocked at the misconduct of Dhaka University students.

“Where will we go if we are not safe even on our university campus?” one of them said.

On November 5, four students of Shahidullah Hall beat up Imtiaz Alam Beg, principal of Beg Art Institute of Photography, and tore the clothes of his two nieces, who were with him on the campus.

Imtiaz, who had to get six stitches in his head, said he was chatting with his nieces by the pond near Shahidullah Hall when the assailants approached them and asked them if they were students of the university.

“When we replied no, they attacked us. Many resident students stood nearby and silently watched as we were assaulted. Nobody came to help,” he said.   

One of Imtiaz’s nieces was Saba Ahmed, who studied at the Institute of Business Administration of the university and now lives in Canada. She said she would never forget what happened on the day.

“I never thought I would be assaulted by junior students of the university I had studied at,” she added.

The victims filed a case with Shahbagh police station but no arrest has yet been made.

Besides, a probe team headed by the house tutor of Shahidullah Hall was formed after the incident. The team submitted its report after nearly two weeks but no action was taken based on it. The report was not made public either.

During the countrywide blackout on November 1, many female students claimed to have been physically assaulted by male students on the campus in the evening.

Shuma, a third-year student of sociology, told the Dhaka Tribune one of her cousins, a banker by profession, came to the campus to give her some necessary stuff.

“In the evening, we two were headed to the Business faculty but some students in front of the Arts building hurled abuse at us. The words they used beggar description,” she added.

Acting proctor of the university Amzad Ali said the authorities are very concerned about the security of female students, admitting that the girls are harassed frequently.

“We will direct police to maintain constant vigilance on the campus so that none could engage in such acts or get away with these,” he said, adding that any unbecoming behaviour aimed at harassing someone would be seriously dealt with.

Officer-in-Charge of Shahbagh police station Shirajul Islam told the Dhaka Tribune it becomes difficult to initiate legal proceedings against students of the university because the authorities of the educational institution do not cooperate as expected.

“We investigate crimes committed by the students if we fail to catch them red-handed. But it is the university authorities who do not assist us in the course of our duty, making it difficult for police to get to the end of a particular incident,” he added.

Police in Action

Law is made to be implemented upon weaker group of people.

"Three policemen at Sonargaon intersection stop a bicycle rider, right, for travelling against traffic on Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue. The officers later threw the bicycle on the footpath damaging it."

Now this proves my statement..........

my conclusion: 

weak people abide by law (in fact they are forced to abide) and strong people create law or do not follow or follow law at will....

Chhatra League linked to yaba trade in DU

The police have found links to Chhatra League leaders’ involvement in yaba trading on the Dhaka University campus, after the police – with help of the DU authorities – arrested seven people yesterday near the university’s Mohsin Hall and seized 1,250 yaba pills from their possession.

“Acting on a tip-off, we arrested them near the Mohsin Hall when they were returning from the hall after buying yaba at around 1:45am,” said Shahbagh police station Officer-in-Charge Sirajul Islam. Two CNG-run auto-rickshaws and a motorcycle – which were used by the arrestees – were also seized at the time, he added.

A case has been filed under the Narcotics Control Act 2013 with the police station in this connection, Sirajul added.

The arrestees are Subroto Kumar Bhowmik, Sanjoy Biwswas Sujon, Md Bachchu, Shahidul Islam, Kabul Kha, Akbar and Kazi Shahidul Islam. None of them are students of the university.

The OC said the detained men confessed to purchasing the yaba pills from Wasim, Mehedi, Maksud, Titu and Suman – all residential students of the hall who live in rooms 311, 337 and 338.

The names mentioned by the arrestees include Chhatra League’s Mohsin Hall unit president Maksud Rana Mithu – who resides in room 337, as well as Chhatra League’s DU unit organising secretary Maksudur Rahman – who resides in room 338.

Although the arrestees mentioned Mithu’s name immediately after they were arrested, they later reportedly omitted the name during police interrogation, sources said.

Seeking anonymity, a Chhatra League leader of the hall unit admitted to the Dhaka Tribune that Mithu had been running yaba business in the hall for the past year, using room 311 to sell the drugs to customers. The drug was brought from Teknaf to be sold to different yaba distributors in the city, he added.

However, Mithu and Maksud both denied allegations of running the drug racket in the hall, terming the claims as a conspiracy against them.

Yesterday’s arrests were made on a tip-off, following which Shahbagh police station SI Sohel Rana stationed a team of law enforcers in front of the Basunia gate near the hall in the wee hours. The team stopped and searched two auto-rickshaws and a motorbike coming out of the hall gate to find the yaba pills with the passengers.

Mohsin Hall Provost Prof Ali Akkass, on the other hand, confirmed the involvement of DU students and Chhatra League activists in the incident. “Surely the students were involved with it; otherwise how could outsiders come to the hall corridors for this business?

“A formal letter will be sent to the students of those particular rooms and appropriate action will be taken against them,” the provost added.

Amzad Ali, acting proctor of the university, also assured of taking steps against those involved.

When asked about the possible involvement of Chhatra League men, the student wing’s DU unit General Secretary Omar Sharif claimed that Chhatra League activists could not be involved in the yaba trade. He, however, said action would be taken against any “misguided” activist.

Photo Blog (unrest in the Dhaka City 05/05/2013)

Hundreds of people were killed by so called security forces. I was residing near Motijheel area at those days. At the start of the meeting lacs of innocent unarmed Muslims gathered at Motijheel. Government went hard at them from the very beginning of the program. 

Only two private television channed was live telecasting but later they both were being switched off by the Government. Till today those channels are not aired.  

At midnight when BGB took action electricity was totally off in that area.

One could easily imaging what happened in the middle of night by the Fully armed BGB and RAB and Police with no electricity at dark midnight on lacs of unarmed general people consisting of senior citizens, children and young people.

See the pictures and ask your mind.
