Bangladesh Human Rights Commission chairman Mizanur Rahman on Tuesday said it is not acceptable if any country or organization passes comments on the judgment of the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) of Bangladesh. He termed the United Nations‘ request for stopping the capital punishment of the war criminals as politically motivated. He said the US is killing thousands of innocent people of Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, and the UN is supporting the brutal acts while opposing the punishment of the war criminals who conducted massacre during Liberation War.

The Prime Minister,Shri Narendra Modi said the biggest challenge to Ayurveda comes from people who have dedicated their life to it. They too do not trust it fully, he said. Seeking to dispel the notion of Ayurveda and Allopathy being competing streams of medical science, the Prime Minister described Ayurveda as a way of life. He said a disease can be cured by Allopathy; and if a person adopts Ayurveda, he can ensure that he remains healthy and free of disease.

2014 Campaign Against Impunity
To mark the United Nations’ first International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists on 2 November 2014, CCHR is taking the opportunity to highlight the rampant nature of impunity in Cambodia, and calling on the Royal Government of Cambodia (“RGC”) to end impunity. To show the RGC that ending impunity matters to Cambodians, throughout November, we will be collecting photos of individuals holding signs pledging to fight impunity. We will print these photos onto a giant poster and deliver it to the Ministry of Justice on 2 December 2014, to demonstrate the high levels of public demand for ending impunity.
We will also be posting all the photos online at: Campaign Flickr Page

The loss of one’s beloved spouse, especially after many years and decades of marriage and shared life, is always a traumatic and shattering blow. Those of us, who unfortunately have also experienced this in our own lives, can testify as to the emotional damage and even physical harm that this sad experience can occasion. We see from the life of our father Jacob that even decades later he reminds his children and himself of the pain and suffering caused by the death of his beloved wife, Rachel. In essence, it seems that Jacob never again was the same person after the death of Rachel. Avraham apparently dealt with the death of Sarah in a more stoic fashion. The Torah itself… Read More

Today we have laid the foundation stone of Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centre for Human Excellence and Social Sciences – Vivek Tirtha at New Town, Rajarhat.
On the occasion of 150th birth anniversary celebrations of Vivekananda at Belur Math last year, I had requested the Math to do something to help our youth in character building and human excellence.
We are indeed happy as they have agreed to set up this Centre of Excellence. We have allotted 5 acres of land. The Central Building of Vivek Tirtha will be modelled along the lines of Chicago Art Institute where Vivekananda delivered his historic address.
The Centre aims to become one of the premier centres in the world for imparting cutting edge programmes in value orientation, personality development, communication skills, mind management and other attributes to the youth of our country and the world.Centre for Human Excellence and Social Sciences – Vivek Tirtha at New Town, Rajarhat.

AJE News @AJENews Breaking news: Palestinian man shot dead at the Arroub camp near Hebron in the occupied West Bank. More soon.
CJA expresses grave concern over the impending execution of Mohammad Kamaruzzman, who was sentenced to death by the Bangladesh International Crimes Tribunal for his involvement in the 1971 War of Independence. Given the Tribunal’s repeated failure to uphold recognized standards of due process in proceedings before the court, Bangladeshi authorities must establish an official moratorium on executions immediately, and establish an internationally supervised judicial process to ensure that the victims of the 1971 conflict see justice through an impartial, independent, and transparent process. CJA echoes the concerns of U.S. War Crimes Ambassador Stephen Rapp over the problematic procedure used to prosecute Kamaruzzman and the restrictions on evidence imposed on the defense. While Bangladesh has the authority and responsibility to hold perpetrators accountable for these serious crimes, the trials must meet the country’s international obligations of fairness and due process, especially when the death penalty is imposed.

The United States War Crimes Ambassador and Head of the US State Department Office of Global Criminal Justice… http://fb.me/3pSA0U69H
The United States War Crimes Ambassador and Head of the US State Department Office of Global Criminal Justice today spoke to two journalists (David Bergman and a journalist from Prothom Alo) on the Appeal Judgment in the case of Muhammad Kamaruzzaman and the Government plans to carry out his execution in circumstances that the defence consider would violate national and international law.
The Ambassador has long been a critic of the failure to maintain national and international standards in Bangladesh. He has consistently maintained that the US Government supports a domestic process of accountability and has taken the point that whilst there have been some improvements there is still room for significant improvement.
The Ambassador started by reading out the following statement:
„The United States supports bringing to justice those who committed atrocities in the 1971 Bangladesh war of independence. In doing so, the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) trials must be free, fair, and transparent, and in accordance with international obligations that Bangladesh has agreed to uphold through its ratification of international agreements, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
„Countries that impose a death penalty must do so with great care, in accordance with a very high standard of due process and respect for fair trial guarantees. It is inevitable that scrutiny will be heightened when a death penalty is pronounced. Therefore judges, as well as authorities having powers of commutation, should exercise great caution before imposing and implementing a sentence of death.
„As I said during my fifth visit to Bangladesh in August 2014, we have seen some progress, but still believe that further improvements to the ICT process could ensure these proceedings meet domestic and international obligations. Until it can be shown that these obligations have been met, it is best not to proceed with executions given the irreversibility of a death sentence.“
It is important that the Ambassador has set out the U.S. Government’s concerns considering that during the Ambassador’s last visit to Bangladesh, during August 2014, he was incorrectly quoted as stating the U.S. Government fully supports the trial process. It is important that such blatant misreporting is corrected.
The full Q&A is likely to be published by David Bergman and Prothom Alo who spoke to the Ambassador at 3pm (Dhaka Time) this afternoon.

We [ U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Mark Kirk (R-IL) ] urge you to ensure that your mere presence at the East Asia Summit does not send the message to Burma’s rulers that the status quo is acceptable.
Otherwise, we fear that Burma may become a missed opportunity rather than a shining star for its people and those in other closed societies who still aspire to be free.

Washington, D.C. [Nov 07 2014] – U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Mark Kirk (R-IL) today expressed their concern regarding Burma’s failure to improve human rights and urged President Barack Obama to meet with “the genuine representatives of the Burmese people” and speak “in support of freedom of the press and of the rights of all minority and religious groups” during his visit to Burma next week.
