1971 Genocide Protesters demonstrate outside Pakistani embassy in Hague, demand apology for genocide in Bangladesh
Hague: A demonstration occurred outside the Pakistan embassy in the Hague recently where the protesters demanded an "unconditional official apology" for the genocide committed by the Pakistan Army in Bangladesh during the 1971 Liberation War, media reports said.
The protest was hosted by Europe-based Bangladeshi diaspora organisation European Bangladesh Forum (EBF) on Wednesday.
Bangladeshis living in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany participated in the demonstration, which took place at Paleisstraaat, close to the Pakistan Embassy in the Hague, reports The Daily Star.
In a petition to Pakistani Ambassador Shujjat Ali Rathore, the organisers said the 1971 genocide by the Pakistan military is well documented and reported in international media and in diplomatic correspondences during that period, the newspaper reported.
