DHAKA: The principal of a religious school in Bangladesh was among 16 people sentenced to death on Thursday for the murder of a teenage girl who refused to withdraw a complaint of sexual harassment against him, the public prosecutor said.
The perpetrators poured kerosene over Nusrat Jahan, 18, and set her on fire on the roof of her madrasa in April in the southeastern district of Feni. Police said in their charge-sheet the murder was carried out on the orders of the principal.
“The judgment proves that no one is above the law,” public prosecutor Hafez Ahmed told reporters after the court verdict.
He said the defence lawyers had tried unsuccessfully to establish that Jahan had committed suicide.
Defence lawyer Giasuddin Nannu said all the convicts will challenge the verdict in the High Court.

Jahan’s death sparked public outrage and mass demonstrations calling for her killers to be punished. She had faced pressure to withdraw a complaint to police in March accusing the school principal of attempted rape, her family said.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had met her family and vowed to bring the killers to justice.
Two female classmates and two local leaders of her party were among those convicted.
After the murder, the government instructed some 27,000 educational institutions to form committees to prevent sexual assaults.
“I can’t forget her for a moment. I still feel the pain that she went through,” mother Shirin Akhtar said as she burst into tears at her home following the verdict.
Jahan’s brother, Mahmudul Hasan Noman, demanded that the death sentences be carried out swiftly and sought protection for his family against reprisals.
“We live in fear. We were threatened even today in the courtroom,” Noman said.
Bangladesh has seen a dramatic rise in the number of rape cases in recent months, with 217 women and children raped in September, the highest in any single month since 2010, according to a report published by Bangladesh Mahila Parishad, a women’s rights group.
Many more cases go unreported because women fear being stigmatised. Rights activists attribute the increasing number of rapes to a lack of awareness, a culture of impunity, moral decadence, and people of influence protecting suspected rapists for political reasons.
Even when survivors file a complaint, prosecution is very rare and takes years to conclude.
“This verdict has set an example. It shows that with utmost sincerity we can ensure justice within our existing system,” said the group’s head, Ayesha Khanam. --Reuters

Only today, the mosque in mecca look grand.
But just 100 years ago, it was llike any kampung mosque.
No prominent muslim ruler from baghdad, syria, egypt or spain ever wrote about going to mecca for haj. Zero. The centre osf islam was never in saudi but further up north until recently.

U are confused. Best u read the english translated Quran. Then the hadith for better understanding

TEMERLOH, Nov 15 — Two teenage boys were charged in the Magistrate’s Court here today with the murder of seven-year-old Mohammad Aimin Nurul Amin at a tahfiz centre here on Thursday.
The two minors, both aged 13, nodded to indicate that they understood when the charge was read out before Magistrate Ti Pei Si in a closed-door proceeding today.


Both of them were accused of having murdered Mohammad Aimin between 11.30am and 1.30pm on Nov 7, at the dormitory of the Maahad Tahfiz Nahdah Syubban Addiniyah in Kampung Kuala Kaung in Lanchang, here.
DPP Rifah Izzati Abdul Mutalif prosecuted under Section 302 of the Penal Code which provides for mandatory death sentence, upon conviction.

The two accused were not represented by lawyers at the proceedings which was also attended by their parents.

Ti set Dec 19 for mention for submission of the victim’s medical report and for the accused to appoint their respective lawyers.
On Nov 8, the media reported that Mohammad Aimin was pronounced dead at the Lanchang Health Clinic around 1.30pm, after being taken there by the tahfiz female warden who found him in a listless condition 30 minutes earlier.
An autopsy carried out at the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Hospital here confirmed that Mohammad Aimin’s death was due to trauma on his chest and abdomen by blunt object.
It was understood that the victim had just joined the tahfiz centre around mid-October, along with his 13-year-old stepbrother. — Bernama

Grew up in Cambodia.... married a Kiwi and ended up in Auckland. Husband died of cancer so ended up whoring to pay bills. She has fixed ideas about what is good for the child and she thinks that a monastery can do a better job than she can.

It's no different from Sinkie parents who decide for their kids what career they should pursue.

Hmm quite surprised you’re concern for this child who has no relation to u. Or I’m wrong?

I am not Buddhist but my humble 2 cents:

She's copping out and probably wants a fresh start since her husband died and she's stuck with the kid. She can still spend time with the child after work. What a child needs is the unconditional love of a parent, even for a few short hours a day.

What you described sounds like excuses and justifications rather than real reasons.

If you care for the child, don't endorse her choice. But that's probably all you can do.

yup!
