Why the killer of Bangladesh’s first president is free in Canada - The Fifth Estate

A man convicted in absentia for his role in the 1975 coup and murder of most of the first family in Bangladesh lives freely in Toronto. In an exclusive, the current prime minister and daughter of the slain president tells CBC’s The Fifth Estate that she wants him brought to justice.

Most of the pakistani millitary generals and officers who were involved in 1971 genocide also call canada home. canada allowed them to become citizens even after fully knowing their antecedents during and before the 71 war After seeing the complete documentary, the only reason that comes to my mind(personnel opinion) is that the murderer has a support of an intelligence agency and that canada is just taking the heat for working with that intelligence agency.

I agree with you whole heartedly. Just like Canada has given asylum to several Akali terrorists all these years under the excuse of "Death Penalty". Is that a reasoning for harboring fugitives that have been found to be killers by due processes in those countries like India and Bangladesh? I had more respect before for the Trudeau government before. How would he feel if anpther country harbors a fugitive from Canada and refuse to hand them over by extraditing to Canada by using the same excuse the Canadian government uses "Death Penalty". I have many Canadian friends that totally disagree with their government's decision but down play it in public.

People who are watching this, do you know what's the current situation in Bangladesh? After 15 years of dictatorship, we took down hasina. That oppressor has fled from our country. The whole country marched against her and her follower. Imagine in this whole video where general people of Bangladesh is in hasina's place and hasina is in Nur choudhury's place. Even her law minister Anisul haque who is in the video, was caught fleeing and taken into custody. I welcome The Fifth Estate to make another video on current situation of Bangladesh and Mass Murderer, thief, traitor Sheikh Hasina. Everything in this video just turned upside down.

[@sakibrahman8492]

If he is not truly a murderer, then why did he flee after seeing the camera? Nur Chowdhury fled because he knows he is guilty. It is imperative to repatriate him to Bangladesh. I want to emphasize that the Canadian government should refrain from offering refuge to individuals with potential involvement in criminal activities. Canada, being a peaceful nation, should not extend shelter to someone who might compromise its principles of justice and security.

[@SumonPaul-j7i]

Despite the exceptional bilateral relationship between Bangladesh and Canada, the matter of the killer Nur remains a significant concern. We hope that the Canadian government will expeditiously resolve this issue.

[@CAT4U2C]

The family deserves closure. I think it’s despicable that the Canadian government has left this linger on and still cause so much pain with the family and rubbing salt in the wound of the Bangladeshi people who loved this man.

[@royal-t6o8y]

My request to Mark Kelley is to go back to Bangladesh and report what Hasina and Anisul Huq been doing for the last 16 years there. Also do an investigative report on the looted money from Bangladesh being invested in Canada by politicians from her government.

[@LeveretteJamesClifford1955]

It makes as much sense that he is in Canada free as it makes sense that under Trudeau, Canadians are losing their freedoms and that there are NA ZIs, (not just children of N Azis) in Canada. Canada has long since lost its way as one of the most liberal forms of government (liberal in the sense of giving citizens the same rights as kings just as there is in the United State, not in the send of a political leaning within the over all liberalism of a form of government.

[@sakttan]

word salad

[@ehaaron]

Trudeau is scared Choudhary, if deported, will rat him out & this may expose Canadian governments role in the assassination of Bangladesh's PM.

[@MirzaSayem]

Sincere gratitude to the CBC Team and Mr. Mark Kelly for exposing the truth. Bangladesh went through very difficult times between 1975 and 1996. Killers were protected by the INDEMNITY ORDINANCE, a kind of savage legislation that is unheard of in the world. At last, a few of the killers were executed by hanging, but others received sanctuary in the United States and Canada.We now know some little-known facts about Nur Chowdhury. He ought to be returned to Bangladesh as soon as feasible.

[@antelopelol2865]

Nur Chowdhury was a freedom fighter in 1971 and was awarded "Bir Bikram" in 1973 by Sheikh Mujib himself.

[@donvalleyblu611]

@37:08 Yes, Judicial system in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh is very very independent.. joke of the century!

[@মজানিয়েযান]

Chowdhury was granted visitor status in Canada in 1996, and hasn't left the country since. Choudhury's extradition is a thorny issue because Canada has been a fully abolitionist country since 1998 and in 2011 then Canadian envoy to Dhaka had said Canada can't extradite him as he could face the death penalty in his home country

[@junayeddewanzidan2954]

Those who are watching after 05 August 2024 will surely have a different perspective

[@jimmycanuck5340]

If Chowdry had been a target of Israel, the Mossad would have dealt with him years ago.

[@kaziahmed3953]

Bangladesh would NOW ask her country to send her back to Bangladesh to face trial.

[@riazulhaque2088]

You care about a Killer's right, but not the victims?! Where is the victim's right?? Sheikh Hasina spot on. Nur Chowdhury is the killer whole Bangladesh knows that. Canada should depart him to Bangladesh. If Canada keep sheltering Killers from all around the world then one day Canada will suffer from them.

[@andyc9902]

I am not an Awami league supporter. But no killers should be able to roam free. Canada's government should work closely to bring justice to this matter.

No murderer should not get sympathy from Canada. We want justice.

[@CatouMilou]

This is the first question I asked myself.

[@sakttan]

Good question, but he was in the military which is notoriously corrupt. He is probably financing his own life with his ill-gotten gains as a military officer.

[@meco4068]

Maybe he has a job?

[@905flips8]

An apartment and a dodge journey ?

after killing of sheikh mujib he was awarded his action by then the military dictator General Zia. he was made ambassador by General Zia and from that he obtain a lot of money....

[@injamamHaque-englishplus]

"But we will see to the end"❤ Thank you!

[@markthomas3730]

The solution is simple..Deport Chowdury to the USA..then the Americans can deport him back to Bangledesh to face the music.

that aint going to happen with Biden

Thanks CBC news for talking about this topic. Canada has become heaven for criminals. Bangladeshi people want Nur Chowdhury's punishment.

Mujibur Rahman was a corrupt, and thouroughly incompetent person. Duringhis reign BD remained in the depths of poverty, nepotism, stagnation, and famine. Good work done.

[@awaheed6952]

@The Fifth Estate: Can you please elaborate the justice system in Bangladesh highlighting of words of H/E Hasina Wajid at 19:17 and 38:21 in this video? If I have to reach a conclusion after watching this video, there are bright chances that the accused is the culprit however there is certainty that he will not be treated on just basis in his home-country based on the words of H/E prime minister.

[@MumtahinaHiya-ez1uv]

Thanks CBC news for publishing the truth. I hope Canadian Govt will take necessary steps against the criminals. we want justice 🙏

[@ViewPolitics]

Every man was revolutionary because Sheikh Mujib was a dictator. He massacred the leaders and activists of the opposition political parties. The revolutionaries did the right thing and freed the nation from Sheikh Mujib's dictatorship.

[@grantwhebell7730]

[@MumtahinaHiya-ez1uv]

Noor worked as a diplomat in different countries after Bangabandhu was shot dead. When Sheikh Hasina came to power in 1996, she fled Hong Kong and went to Canada. Canada rejected Noor's refugee claim in 2006 and ordered him to leave the country. But he applied for a security risk assessment stating that he would face death penalty if he returned home. And this is how Noor took advantage to live in Canada
