		<description>How can you change this third world country? No respect Money hungry and greedy. All surrounding countries are run in a similar way. A lot of people will need to suffer or die for change to happen. We are all powerless we just have to let time take its course and pray for change. We form the U.K are use to societies that are tolerant respectful and well mannered. We just have to accept that this is not the same for other countries. The only thing we can do is make sure our own behaviour is respectful and hope other people follow in out foot steps. Only the people of Bangladesh can change Bangladesh and it is they who would need to suffer for change to happen.</description>

		<description>Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu.

What is the current situation with this campaign regarding Rizwan Hussain ?

Are there any plans for future national meetings/demonstration?
I live North East of the UK and we have plans to have meetings within our area however to make the gatherings feasible and constructive we need guidelines, also how the information can be relayed back to yourselves or relevant organisations? 

I would appreciate if anyone can help. 

Many thanks.

		<description>Dear People of Bangladesh
Dua for Br Rizwan.
Bangladesh is not a bad place. People are!!
Once and for all lets stop these brutal offensive act by the so called Protector of Law at Zia airport.
I have travelled to Bangladesh a lot, and it seems that People from Sylhet are always mistreated, beaten and abused by people from Dhaka unless you are very rich or you have contacts in high places.
The Law people think they own whole of Bangladesh, instead of protecting the people they are only protecting themselves and the rich.
Lets all Sylheti, British, American Bangladeshi brothers and sisters unite and fight this plea with Brother Rizwan, for the betterment future for us and our children at places like DHAKA and Zia Airport.
Also please bring the Murder Case of SUROT MIAH and other people who have been abused, threaten and beaten get justice as well, PLEASE.
Most of the people who get harrassed at Zia Airport are people from Sylhet.
Once and for all everything will be at peace if all foriegn flights could land at Sylhet Airport, then we will not need to see Dhaka Airport and not get harassed.
80 - 90% of passenger on a flight are from Sylhet, why doesn&#039;t the plane land in Sylhet first and then Dhaka who are the minority passenger.....
Please UNITE and fight, this is our chance thanks to Br Rizwan.
Insha Allah.
Salaam K</description>

THE CULPRITS WHO WERE INVOLVED IN THIS I HOPE THEY BURN FOR WHAT THEY DID TO BROTHER RIZWAN. BROTHER RIZWAN IS LIKE AN ANGEL AND THEY DID THIS TO HIM. I HONESTLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE TRAITERS WITH MY OWN EYES BEING PUNISHED. I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THESE GUYS BEING BEATEN UP JUST LIKE WHAT THEY DID TO OUR BROTHER RIZWAN.</description>

		<description>thank you for your pleasant replies brothers.

But I sincerely believe that now is a time where parties can be formed and a proper democracy can preveil in Bangladesh, once this chance goes I doubt there will be another for decades to come.
I am pleading to our fellow brothers and sisters to go out there and form a united party that knows the meaning of democracy and applies it. a party that is not corrupt at heart and brings the country to a new era. Tis unfortunate but every time a debate arises regarding Bangladesh&#039;s the conclusion seems that we are not better off after that many years freedom from Pakistan. 

A new light/ A new generation needs to change the corrupt system that is drilled in the hearts of every Bangladeshi there. like it or not everyone has bribed or taken bribery at some point of there life in Bangladesh.

There are many noble brothers and sisters out there who, I believe can change the countries mentality.
people have learn from the governments  example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy, Hence we have a country That is Bangladesh.

&quot;In the absence of justice, what is sovereignty but organized robbery?

		<description>Salaams - i heard the news late hence the late response. My thoughts and prayers/duas are with Br Rizwan and his family for a very speedy recovery. This protest email was sent to BHC in BD earlier. If at all possible, please forward this email to him. like many of us, I am utterly shocked and speechless about whta happended. 
 
Best wishes,
Numan,
London.
 
 
For the Attention of the British High Commissioner in Bangladesh
His Excellency, the British High Commissioner in Bangladesh,


I write expressing my profound disappointment at the way a reknown British-Bangladeshi barrister and humanitarian worker Rizwan Hussain was physically abused by the authorities in Dhaka airport recently. 


As a British-Bangladeshi living in the UK, I am now extremely apprehensive and fearful about visiting Bangladesh in future and I know many of my compatriots feel the same way. 


His Excellency is very well aware this was not an isolated incident but a long list of mistreatment and abuse carried out by the authorities in the airports of Bangladesh in recent times.


Can His Excellency assure that the culprits identified are brought to justice as swiftly as possible with the full force of the law and reassure British-Bangladeshi&#039;s, like myself, such incidences and violation of human rights will not occur in the airports of Bangladesh.

I further urge His Excellency to bring the matter to attention of the current caretaker Government in Bangladesh and conduct an independent enquiry into the matter. This incident has brought unnecessary negative media attention to Bangladesh - a beautiful peace loving nation rich in culture and heritage. The focus of the attention should be to build and strengthen the governance arrangements of the nation and a full return to democracy.

I await your earliest response.


Yours sincerely
