We appeal for your intervention to end the unjust imprisonment in Bangladesh of Dr. Muhiuddin Khan Alamgir, an economist and former minister.
A summary tribunal set up by Bangladesh's military government has just sentenced Dr. Alamgir to 13 years in prison for having a minor "discrepancy" in his wealth statement that he had to write in jail and under duress, and with all fundamental rights in the country suspended.
For his vocal role, Dr. Alamgir was detained and tortured before, in 2002, by the BNP (a center-right party) administration in Bangladesh.
Alamgir, who came to West Pakistan before the creation of Bangladesh and stayed behind in this country, began his career as a guitarist who joined Sohail Rana and his TV programme for kids as an assistant.
Alamgir turned into a musician early in his career and joined the ranks of Niaz Ahmed and Karim Shahabuddin, the musicians who provided him with a chance to go pop on PTV.
Alamgir came amidst resonating cheers and, quite on the contrary to the remnants of Aaroh’s pumped-up energy, launched into a soulful harmonica solo which became the beginning of his song, Shaam Sey Pehlay Ghar Aajana.
