EWU arranges seminar on trial of war rapes
Staff reporter, Dhaka
In the Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971, the brutality against women was not the by-product of War, it was a pre-planned genocidal war crime, former chairman of the National Human Rights Commission Dr Mizanur Rahman said this at a seminar at East West University (EWU) yesterday. According to him, the punishment of the perpetrator is not the end of the trial process, but there should be arrangements for compensation for the oppressed women.
East West University Center for Research and Training (EWUCRT) organised a research proposal seminar titled Trial of War Rapes: When Justice is an Issue at EWU campus in the capital, says a press release.
The research proposal was presented by Dr Tureen Afroz, professor, Department of Law, EWU. In her presentation, based on extensive research and interview of 385 rape victims conducted throughout Bangladesh, Dr Afroze noted that complete justice was needed though some of the trails of the rapists had been successfully concluded. The seminar was conducted by Dr Rafiqul Huda Chaudhury, member, Board of Trustees, EWU and Chairperson of EWUCRT. Professor Dr M M Shahidul Hassan, VC of EWU, was the special guest while Pro-VC of EWU Professor Dr Fakrul Alam was the guest of honour at the seminar.
