Why the killer of Bangladesh’s first president is free in Canada – The Fifth Estate

A man convicted in absentia for his role in the 1975 coup and murder of most of the first family in Bangladesh lives freely in Toronto. In an exclusive, the current prime minister and daughter of the slain president tells CBC’s The Fifth Estate that she wants him brought to justice.

বাংলাদেশের ১৯৭৫ সালের ক্যু এবং সে ঘটনায় রাষ্ট্রপতির পরিবারের অধিকাংশ সদস্যকে হত্যার ঘটনায় পলাতক হিসেবে দন্ডপ্রাপ্ত একজন ব্যক্তি মুক্তভাবে বাস করছেন টরন্টোতে। সিবিসির দ্যা ফিফথ স্টেটের সঙ্গে এক বিশেষ সাক্ষাৎকারে নিহত সেই বাংলাদেশী রাষ্ট্রপতির কন্যা এবং বর্তমানে দেশটির প্রধানমন্ত্রী বলেছেন, তিনি তাকে বিচারের মুখোমুখি করতে চান।
