British PM urged to deport war crimes accused Mueen

The anti-war criminal platform Ekatturer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee has urged British Prime Minister David Cameron to deport war crimes accused Chowdhury Mueen Uddin, who is being tried in absentia by a tribunal in Bangladesh.
In a memorandum submitted by the platform's representative in the UK last week, it asked Cameron's government to increase vigilance over Jamaat-e-Islami's British wing, which it said, was collecting fund for committing militancy in Bangladesh.
Executive President of Ekatturer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee Shahriar Kabir said General Secretary of the committee's British chapter Syed Anas Pasha filed the memorandum with the British Prime Minister's office in London.
Talking to The Daily Star yesterday, Shahriar said they had requested Mueen's deportation. “If that is not possible, the British government should make sure Mueen serves his sentence (if found guilty by the Bangladeshi tribunal) in the British jail.”
“Since the country [UK] doesn't have the provision of the capital punishment, if the tribunal awards him the capital punishment, the British government could reduce it to life imprisonment. We want his punishment, that's our demand,” he added.
Shahriar also said, “With grave concern, we have noticed that Jamaat's British wing is collecting fund through different British NGOs to commit militancy in Bangladesh."
Asif Munier, son of martyred intellectual Prof Munier Chowdhury, and Assistant General Secretary of Ekatturer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee's British chapter Jamal Ahmed Khan, among others, were present during the memorandum's filing.
Al-Badr leaders Mueen and Ashrafuzzaman Khan are facing 11 charges at International Crimes Tribunal-2 for allegedly killing 18 intellectuals at the fag end of the Liberation War in 1971. Asif Munier testified against the two at the tribunal in July.
