Bangladesh: Pakistan condemns execution of Motiur Rahman Nizami

Islamabad, May 11 (IBNS): The Pakistan government on Wednesday condemned the execution of Islamist leader Motiur Rahman Nizami in Bangladesh.

In a statement, the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement: "Pakistan is deeply saddened over the hanging of the Ameer of Jamat-e-Islami Bangladesh, Mr. Moti-ur-Rehman Nizami, for the alleged crimes committed before December 1971. His only sin was upholding the constitution and laws of Pakistan."

"The act of suppressing the opposition by killing their leaders through flawed trials is completely against the spirit of democracy. The execution is also unfortunate for the people of Bangladesh who had elected Mr. Nizami as their representative in the Parliament," read the statement.

"Ever since the beginning of the trials, several international organizations, human rights groups and international legal figures have raised objections to the court proceedings, especially regarding fairness and transparency, as well as reported harassment of lawyers and witnesses representing the accused. The international community has objected to the steps taken by Government of Bangladesh to impose restrictions on the independence of judiciary," the statement said.

"Pakistan offers condolences to the bereaved family members and the followers of Mr. Nizami," read the statement.

Islamist leader Motiur Rahman Nizami was hanged in Bangladesh for crimes during the war of independence from Pakistan in 1971 on Wednesday.
