Enforced Disappearance of Mufti Amini's son Maulana Abul Hasanat Since April 10, 2011.

Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini's son Maulana Abul Hasnat was picked up by plain-clothed police from the Tipu Sultan Road of Dhaka city's Dholaikhan on Apr 10, 2011.

It may be noted that Maulana Abul Hasanat's mother is a daughter of Late Hazrat Maulana Mohammadullah Hafezzi Huzur (R.A.).

BNP Acting Secretary-General Mirza Fakhrul said, "BNP believes that Hasnat was abducted following a government order."

Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini has alleged that two activists of his party were killed and his son was abducted at the behest of the prime minister.

Note on Forced Disappearance :
A forced disappearance (or enforced disappearance) occurs when a person is secretly imprisoned or killed by agents of the state or by another party, such as a terrorist or criminal group. The party responsible for a disappearance does not admit to having carried out the act, thereby placing the victim outside the protection of the law.

According to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, which came into force on 1 July 2002, when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed at any civilian population, a "forced disappearance" qualifies as a crime against humanity, and thus is not subject to a statute of limitations. On 20 December 2006, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance.

Amini's son arrested!

Younger son of Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini, chairman of a faction of Islami Oikya Jote (IOJ), has been picked up allegedly by plainclothes police, reports bdnews24.com. 

"Abul Hasanat, a teacher of Bara Katara Madrasa, was picked up from Dholaikhal and dragged into a Pajero jeep around 12 noon," IOJ publicity secretary Maulana Ahlullah Wasel told bdnews24.com on Sunday. 

Hasanat went there along with his two friends, 'Humayun' and 'Raihan', to have his father's car repaired. Their mobile phones were taken away too, Wasel claimed. Officer in-charge of Sutrapur police Nazrul Islam, however, denied the allegation and said no one of such name was handed over to the station by any agency.
Deputy commissioner of Detective Branch (DB) of police Monirul Islam said Hasanat was not arrested-neither by the DB police nor by cops from any police station. "After I came to know about it, I checked it out with the Special Branch and Criminal Investigation Department. They didn't arrest Amini's son," he claimed.

Aminee’s son kidnapped at government directive: Fakhrul Dhaka: Opposition BNP has alleged that Moulana Abul Hasnat, younger son of Mufti Fazlul Huq Aminee, was kidnapped at the directive of the government and demanded that he be immediately returned to his family.

BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir made the allegation and the demand at a press briefing at the party’s central office this (Saturday) noon.

He said BNP thinks Hasnat was abducted at the instruction of the government in the same way the members of the security forces have kidnapped the leaders and workers of opposition across the country including DCC ward councilor Chowdhury Alam and kept them concealed.

Fakhrul mentioned that on April 10 some armed men introducing them as people of the administration kidnapped Abul Hasnat from Tipu Sultan Road of the capital.

He said that like IOJ chairman Mufti Aminee and his family, the BNP is also deeply worried as no government agency had admitted detaining Hasnat although six days have passed since his disappearance.

Meanwhile, the BNP acting secretary general condemned the police attack on a BNP procession in Jhenidah today (Saturday) as a part of the countrywide demonstration protesting the Prime Minister’s “vindictive directive” for quick disposal of “politically motivated false cases” against BNP senior vice-chairman Tarique Rahman and Arafat Rahman Koko.

He said 25 party activists were injured in the police baton charge on the BNP procession.

Amini threatens to paralyse countryIt can be done in 10 minutes, he claims→ Staff Correspondent  Islami Oikya Jote Chairman Fazlul Huq Amini has threatened to paralyse the country if his son, who has been missing since Sunday, was not released by Friday.

“If my son is not released by today (Friday), the consequence will be disastrous. We have the capacity to paralyse the country within an hour or even in 10 minutes by announcing tough programmes,” Amini told a rally organised by Islamic Law Implementing Commi-ttee at Jatiya Press Club in the city on Friday.

The rightwing leader accused Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of abducting his son Abul Hasnat.

Earlier on Sunday, Amini alleged that the Detective Branch of police arrested his youngest son Hasnat from Dholaikhal of Sutrapur in the city.

Police, however, denied the allegation saying that they did not arrest any of Amini’s sons.

The IOJ chief also blamed Hasina for killing two of Islamic Law Implementing Committee members in Chittagong and Jessore. They were reportedly killed during clashes between the law enforcers and the bigots on March 3.

“No one can keep me away from street movements by threatening through mobile phone,” Amini said adding that he will continue the movement until the government cancel the women policy.

Amini also said he is not against the women development policy but the current policy is contrary to the Quran and Sunnah. “It must be amended,” he added.

Khelafat Majlish Ameer Maulana Mohammad Ishak, Nayeb-e-Ameer Abdul Latif Nejami and General Secretary of Islamic Law Implementing Committee, Mufti Wakkas, among others, addressed the rally.

Son 'abducted' on PM orders

Aminee threatens impasse by one-hr notice

Chairman of a faction of Islamic Oikkya Jote (IOJ) and Ameer of Islamic Ain Bastabayan Committee Mufti Fazlul Huq Aminnee Friday warned of, what he said, 'announcing tougher programmes including making the country inactive if the women policy is not annulled', reports BSS.

"We can create an impasse in the country by a one-hour notice as there are twenty thousand madrasas in Bangladesh which will respond to our call immediately," he claimed addressing a rally at Jatiya Press Club auditorium here.

 Dhaka City Unit of Islamic Ain Bastayan Committee organized the rally with its Ameer Moulana Abul Kashem in the chair. The IOJ chief said they would hold an Olema-Mashaekh rally on April 20 in the city and announce next programme from that rally.

 Former ministers Moulana Mohammad Ishaq and Mufti Mohammad Wakkas, Moulana Abdul Latif Nizami and Moulana Sheikh Lokman Hossain, among others, addressed the function.

 They organized the rally to protest the alleged killing, abduction and repression on their workers.

Urging the government to give him the trace of his son immediately, Aminee warned of counter attacks would be carried out if his son is hit.

"We will not retreat from the movement of the implementing the Islamic law in the country if his full family is abducted or destroyed," Mufti Aminee vowed saying no anti-Islamic forces would be allowed to assume the state power in future.

 He said they don't oppose the development of the women folk but those must be inline with holy Quran and Hadith. The members of the present cabinet don't understand the holy Quran and its language and, therefore, they are giving its wrong interpretations, he alleged. 

Referring to the celebration of the first day of new Bengali year Pohela Boishakh, Aminee said, "We are not against celebrating the occasion but the anti-Islamic activities were seen on that day,".

 bdnews24.com adds: Chairman of a faction of Islami Oikya Jote (IOJ) Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini has alleged that two activists of his party were killed and his son was 'abducted' at the behest of the prime minister. 

 "Two people were martyred and my son was abducted for waging a movement to protect the holy Qur'an. I believe the killings and the abduction took place at the direct order by Sheikh Hasina," Amini said.
Amini claimed Alem-Ulamas (Islamic scholars) did not believe in militancy. "Sheikh Hasina and her government's activities inflame militancy." 

 "We aren't against women development but want the implementation of the dignity of women as ensured by the Qur'an," he said. 

Amini said it was difficult for him to believe that 'Hasina could utter such big lies repeatedly'. 

"She said there was nothing in the women development policy that went against the Qur'an, and she didn't and won't do anything against the Qur'an and Sunnah. But 99 percent of the country's Alems were of the opinion that the policy is against the Qur'an and Sunnah," he said.
