Rezensionen
"As the titles suggest-this one and the earlier Bangladesh: Political and Literary Reflections on a Divided Country-the two books by Q M Jalal Khan are unique publications devoted to detailing and documenting the political and economic terrorism of the Hasina regime and its tearing and trampling down of human rights, social justice, rule of law, electoral politics, and, above all, the popular democratic opposition of the country, the BNP. The two books provide an unadulterated and unmediated view of the fascist regime and its completely destructive and subversive policies implemented with the help of its brutal and beastly police along with its other state tools-executive and judiciary-taking the country down the dark and dangerous tunnel with no end in sight except a continuation of the regime's cold-blooded murders, cruel killings and kidnappings, and its barbaric remands and imprisonments, ending, maybe, in a liberating bloodbath. Both volumes are no doubt a fascinating read and resource for those interested in knowing about the bloody perpetrators in the court, police, and civil administration, all led by their autocratic and despotic leader Hasina, whose terrible police repression of the opposition BNP knows no bounds." -Mina Farah, political writer and columnist
