How do you define a country's status as the world's most maligned? With Bangladesh, there are countless examples of stupid-debauchery.
A Bangladeshi brother had advised me on this country's senseless indulgence in sensual pleasures. He said, "Bangladesh is a country of immoral and ignorant morons, who have never conquered a foreign-land..,". Although I disagreed on his remark, a recent incident has made me re-think the value of this statement.
Barrister Rizwan Hussain, who is a noted tv-personality and dedicated charity-worker in the UK, recently (14th April) escaped from the evil grips of the unruly Bangladeshi armed-forces. Local community channels in the UK, have been constantly repeating their calls for the "Justice for Barrister Rizwan Hussain".
As per tv-reports, the wayfarer Rizwan had decided to speak against the injustices suffered by the general-passengers at Dhaka airport; which is often said to be the most dis-organized and corrupt airport in the world.
In return for his honesty, several members of the Bangladeshi armed-forces decided to teach him a memorable-lesson in physical-pain.
They prowled around him like vicious hyenas. He was taken to a suitable environment for third-degree treatment and tortured for hours, until they realized that he may be a little influential to totally get rid-off. Killing innocent passengers in public by members of authority is nothing new at Dhaka airport.
In the mid 90s, I remember an innocent-soul (Surat Miah) from Teeside being murdered by airport staff in Dhaka. Mr. Rizwan Hussain's experience is just another example of this senseless-deprivation.
I recently drafted an article entitled, "Fuck Bangladesh", and was sometimes perturbed as I belonged to this culture of impunity. Although, it now seems okay and I am ashamed for not finding a more suitable-title for that article.
Truly Bangladesh, you never fail to amaze me!
