Sheikh Mujibur Rahman played an important role in pre-Independence India and became a very well known Prime Minister and the first President of Bangladesh by introducing a government and leading Bangladesh to independence from Pakistan in 1971. After he was killed, his daughter Skeikh Hasina took over, but now she's a former Bangladeshi Prime minister. But this January, the military emergency government has taken control in Bangladesh to fight corruption, but I think this new situation has gotten out of control for now. There are a few cases against her regarding an electricity contract, having her rights violated, military domination, and struggles with the police. It seems that her rights have been violated since the police did not present an arrest warrant before going into her home. Hasina was taken to court without a summons without here. Her secretary Mahmud mentioned that her personal rights are completely violated and all the circumstances of her arrest were unlawful and unequal. There's a case against Hasina regarding a "payment she allegedly received for an electricity contract issued during her period in office 8 years ago, when her, and her sister and cousin are named in court papers as receiving thousands of dollars." Hasina argued that she was being accused intentionally for political motivation and blockade from getting in elections in the future. There are other cases in relation to extortion and the killings of four political rivals, which I believe may have angered the police and encouraged them to investigate her more deeply. This is such a big corruption going on after Bangladesh's independence from Pakistan, and now I ponder why this former Prime Minister is being backstabbed by the police and I suspect that some of her rivals or enemies are trying to set her up so she can't stand in future elections, which they are held before the end of 2008. I am amazed about the number of arrests made on politicians, civil servants, and businessmen, it's like more than a hundred fifty.
