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.
বাংলাদেশের ১৯৭৫ সালের ক্যু এবং সে ঘটনায় রাষ্ট্রপতির পরিবারের অধিকাংশ সদস্যকে হত্যার ঘটনায় পলাতক হিসেবে দন্ডপ্রাপ্ত একজন ব্যক্তি মুক্তভাবে বাস করছেন টরন্টোতে। সিবিসির দ্যা ফিফথ স্টেটের সঙ্গে এক বিশেষ সাক্ষাৎকারে নিহত সেই বাংলাদেশী রাষ্ট্রপতির কন্যা এবং বর্তমানে দেশটির প্রধানমন্ত্রী বলেছেন, তিনি তাকে বিচারের মুখোমুখি করতে চান।

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".

The bottom line is Canadians are harboring a convicted killer of the Father of the Nation of Bangladesh in the name of the right of an established killer while ignoring the human and legal rights of the victims. I witnessed this massacre as a teenager which forced me to leave my motherland for good. This case went through the natural legal process without any intervention by the government to make it the assassination of a head of state.

Diplomatic relations should be given precedence in such cases and Canada should be the bigger one to initiate the extradition process. The supreme court law also has room for negotiation by mentioning 'special cases'. It's only up to the Canadian government's political willingness that is holding the thing back. Deport him Canada!

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

[@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.
