 | | The largest political party of the country, the Bangladesh Awami League, which led the liberation war, has also become a victim of torture and as well as journalists, human rights activists, intellectuals, officers and employees of government, semi-government and other organizations believing in secular democracy are often persecuted. |
 | | Later that same month, Manik Saha, a noted journalist and BBC Correspondent, local leader of the Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB), and a strong voice against fundamentalism and communalism was killed in a bomb blast. |
 | | The concerned citizens of Bangladesh must come out of their roles as silent spectators and take responsibility for removing the obstacles preventing the unity of pro-liberation forces. |
