Assalamu Alaikum,

Inshallah everyone is in the best of health and Imaan.

Regarding this incident I would like to say, what happened to brother Rizwan Hussain is pure and attar disgusting. Words can not express how disgusted I feel over this unpleasant incident, not only because it happened to a good humble person like brother Rizwan who works exceedingly hard for the Deen but further to the reason that no-one has the right to beat any person and more to the fact out of humanity it’s wrong, from one human to another and further worse from the same Ummah. It’s beyond belief.

But, we must think with a clear head and not think in anger or react in anger as our main resolution is, we want justice in a peaceful way for brother Rizwan and all British Bangladeshi’s travelling to Bangladesh. We mustn’t overlook these people that did this cruel act to brother Rizwan are also human and we must never forget that regardless of how much ‘anger’ we feel towards them, their still apart of Allah’s creation. We must learn to forgive them, pray for them, may Allah help and guide them into the right path, may Allah have mercy upon them and give them the understanding between right and wrong.

Finally my Dua’s for brother Rizwan and his family, for every ache and pain you feel, may Allah give you strength, for every tear you drop, may Allah give you subr and for every hardship you face, may Allah ease your hearts… Inshallah.

May Allah have mercy upon us all and guide us in the path He wishes for us to travel upon… Ameen.

Allah Hafiz.

Hi Salam,

It’s a shame what’s happened to br. Rizwan, hopefully all our so called leaders can now come togather and to some thing, or will they all want to give more speech and less substances. It’s about time we took some action. This gov’t will only understand stick talk.

Hi all and salaams to all Muslims, greeting to other faiths, I agree with everyone above but would like to add, why are Bengalis always suffering and people don’t take notice? Why is our life’s less important than our white counterpart?

Why are British high commission not taking this matter higher like they have done with other white cases, and why are the British mainstream media not taking this matter upon mainstream news?

I don’t have all the answers could some one tell me why? Is it because we don’t have the languages, confidence, or people in position or do we just fight among you and look for positing in society rather than the common good?

The Bangladesh government have never taken British Bengalis seriously because we say but don’t do and too much brown nose toward them, lets become more British like and complain to our white MP at make any positive change,

You any comment on this Anwar, Bradford, Yorkshire

From my point of view the incident was unnecessary. There was no need for physical abuse. The Bangladeshi Officials who carried out the act of cruelty are unprofessional and are the same as animals. They should be treated in the same fashion as they did to Brother Rizwan. I don’t know Brother Rizwan personally but i have been to the “Channel S” studio and seen him, he’s seem very calm and collective, and can’t believe some can do this to him.
The Bangladeshi Government should take this matter very seriously and ban those so called official from the job and working anywhere else. If they don’t take action now then it’s a risk for the future, this will continue to happen. I remember the same incident happened twice and nothing was done about it and look what it caused now, seriously this has to stop for all our safety in Bangladesh.
I hope Brother Rizwan gets justice for this, which was not right.

Assalamu Alaikum, I have already posted a comment earlier on in blog 23. In addition, I would like to address to the attention of the British High Commissioner, his excellency the British high commissioner that in relaton to the abhorrent incident of Brother Rizwan Hussain, I as a British Bangladeshi citizen (a Student) am simultaneously quarrled and feel at upmost apprehensive, I mean what are the human rights legislations for? more specifically regarding the laws and regulation of Bangladesh. Following the moral and social aspects of Bangladesh, is it right for any individual, regardless of their, age, gender, or profession to get physically abducted neverless horrendously totured. I beleive that His Excellency the British High Commissioner should simultaneously acknowledge this matter in greater depth, conducting a sovereign enquiry to the Bangladeshi High commisioner, His Excellency himself, and find a way to resolve this issue sufficiently, hence, on the grounds of leaving justice reserved for Brother Rizwan Hussain and us British Bangladeshi’s on the whole. I hope that my point is taken into consideration, and a full return to democracy is abtained.
Mine and My Family’s Du’ah is with Brother Rizwan Hussain and his family, may Allah grant him a speedy recovery, inshallah.
Allah Hafiz.

We should all take this unfortunate incident as a golden opportunity to teach those Mafia, lawless, barbaric Dhaka airport officials a lesson. Please sign the petition on line and also attend the meetings and gatherings in support of Barrister Rizwan. Don’t let this opportunity pass by. It could be YOU and I next!

Assalamu Alaikum, to my dear Brothers and sisters, of the British Bangladeshi community. I would just like to make this statement short and simple, a brother like Rizwan who deserves nothing but Allah’s rahmat and our blessings had been brutally and physically attacked for absolute no reason watsoever,having worked for the deen, and have seen his inspirational commitment towards the charity aid appeals and many more. I pray for his fast recovery,inshallah.Finally there has to be justice reserved in one way or another,i strongly believe that there has to be an apololgy made by the Bangadeshi high commisioner and a compensation for Brother Rizwan, having said this the Staffs who had put on this absolutely revolting attack on Brother Rizwan should be punished, without a doubt.

What has happened to Rizwan it is extremely horific..there is no way we would find a justification. If he was a tresspasser or an illegal entrant in to a restricted are (there are hundreds of people get access through bribing airport staff at ZIA).. he could be arrested and passed on for trial. But being beaten up bodily is totally inhuman and degraded treatment from personals of Bangladeshi Air force.

We do not want to see some ISPR coverage to hide the institutional anarchy in the BAF or other Force… we demand a thorough investigation into this atrocity and result must be the followings:

An unconditional appology from Bangladesh Government.
A full compansation for Rizwan.
Justice procedures made public through media – so other people could learn lesson from it.
Passangers and Visitors rules must be maintained at Departure and Arrival lounge at ZIA.

If we can not ensure the above, we do not think that anyone would be safe at any Port in Bangladesh. As a result we would find more victims like Suroth Ali, Mugol Kureshi and tortured persons like Rizwan…

Thanks to readers.

HE MUST BE A DUAL NATIONAL. THE HIGH COMMISSION HAVE ISSUED STATEMENTS AND THEY HAVE DONE THEIR BIT. THAT IS WHY IT IS BEING TAKEN SO SERIOUSLY. PEOPLE FROM THE AIR FORCE JHAVE BEEN SUSPENDED. THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THE HIGH COMMISSION. BUT THE BARRISTER – WHY DID HE NOT GO TO THE HIGH COMMISSION? IS HE TELLING A LIE? THERE IS MORE TO THIS THANK I THINK. THANK YOU TO THE BRITISH HIGH COMMISSION FOR STICKING UP BUT IS THE BARRISTER DOING SOMETHING THAT HE SHOULD NOT AND I ALSO BELIEVE HE GOT COCKY WITH THE AIR FORCE PEOPLE AND ABUSED THEIR PARENTS BADLY WHICH IS WHY THEY WENT MAD ON THEM. ANYWAY – ITS DONE NOW…..MARUF MAN

I travel to Bangladesh regularly and I have had no problem with the Immigration authority. People travelling from UK to Bangladesh think that they can break the law once they arrive at Dhaka airport.
We wouldn’t dare to enter a restricted area at LHR, so why do people enter a restricted are in Dhaka airport?? Once people are confronted by the immigration officer for these uncivilized behaviour, then they start saying I am a community leader, Doctor, barrister, lawyer from UK. What gives them the right to break laws just because they are from UK??

Many Thanks

I would like to request all our Bengali Brothers & Sisters, please step ahead & put your voice up against this Crime & these Criminals. If we don’t seek & don’t get justice today, we will never get this in the future. 2 people has been murdered in the past & this time attempt to Kill Brother Rizwan. Next could be you or myself. I ask you today, can you let this happen?

I heard what had happened with Rizwan, and it is very upsetting and my sympathy goes towards him.

I have been to Bangladesh twice and would like to go again once I have got a degree and made a career. However looking at this incident, it scares me what if it happens to me.

Bangladesh should take action and take full responsibility for this. Also no-one has the right to beat someone as brutally and in under circumstances. I mean what are the human rights for.

I pray that Rizwan gets better and he as mine and my family’s support.

We should get justice from all that has happened with Rizwan.

It is really disgusting the way they treat good honest people like Rizwan. I agree that Bangladesh is a really corrupt country, and the Government and Human Rights should not have let this happen and should find ways for stability.

We should have justice, people are now losing their trust with Bangladesh. I mean God forbid if it ever happens to us, it scares me and my family if we were in Rizwan’s shoes.

Our prayers are with Rizwan. Get well soon.

I am truly disgusted at the treatment suffered by Rizwan at the hands of Bangladeshi Government Officials.

It will be fair to say that Bangladesh is an extremely corrupt and backward country probably on par with Zimbabwe. Until we eradicate the vermins from this country there will be no chance of progress and prosperity.

However, we also need to look at ourselves, we go to Bangladesh,Flash our money like theres no tomorrow, and ecourage corruption by giving backhanders to get things done quickly.

The ultimate problem is us, until we change ourselves how can we change the country!

My prayers are with Rizwan and his family during these testing times and wish him a speedy recovery.

let me start off by this,no one is going to change anythng even to a atom.
why? why should i explain myself.
bangladesh has no systematic order intact, if it has a system, the country runs soley on allahs mercy alone, from day to day.i have been bangladesh.like the great game the great passage the great this and that. bangladesh is a graet chaos and a great dissapoint ment.this thing is like, bringing democracy to iraq or squeezing out water from a stone.allah knows best.
rizwan brother has given time money and sweat for his country and other nation. working in media, the greatest decievers.barristers solicitors a the greatest miniplatures liers of words to win a case but the ultimate sacrifice he gave not (blood). allah took it not of brother rizwans will.
why should i make remarks, truely and clearly i dont no him personaly, i only have seen him on tv on act doing what he does best, making a profile and raising thousands of pounds for his channel
being on a pay roll, sorry he does everything voluantry.evenly old women and men can join a rally on the streets.justice out of bangladesh, squeeze harder at that stone my brothers cuase i aint helping you squeeze.the 5 people are innocent yet untill proven guilty in court, every man and women has a right to trial and have their say. so let us all be patient and judge not.even salman russdie deserves a trial although he will be found guilty.everyone has a say. so lets not rule out this and that.all this hype and media, people jumpin on the wagon of changing things.
making statments that this has nothing to do with the goverment of bangladesh, these people are goverment officals it happened in a goverment building, these people are govement paid. what you trying to be good in the goverments eyes the airports eyes and others.
in court the goverment will be representing them.
words dont mean alot brother rizwan. the whole of bangladesh hits the spot light.let allah make you a means and bring good out of this.you have what you wanted a house hold name, furthering your cause for justice. forget it. you should have stayed a barrister
why join the media. i cant go on i finish
