AN APPEAL OF MS. SUNITA RANI MONDAL

 

 

The Chairman,

Global Human Rights Defense, Dhaka Bangladesh                           Dated: 2.11.2008

 

 

My name is Sunita. I am 19 years old, I am B.A. second year student of NatoreDegreeCollege. I am the only daughter of my parents. My father- Shymal Kumar Mondal  is a destitute laborer and my mother is house wife and my only younger brother is the student of honors RajshahiUniversity. My father gave us education with scanty income. We are passing our lives with great disadvantage.

 

I used to take coaching from Abdul Mannan – a English teacher of the locality while I was studying Intermediate and Secondary education. I am major and educated girl of my poor parents. While I was taking coaching from Abdul Mannan then the said English teacher tried to intimidate me with ill intention for conversion and marriage, I refused to do so. As I refused to comply his request then Abdul Mannan put pressure on my parents on various occasions and was threatening.  I told that I am Hindu girl and Abdul Mannan is a Muslim. I preferred Hindu religion other than becoming Muslim despite mental pressure.  This goon again on 22.08.2008 at night attacked me and took me away from my home forcefully and put me in different places for illegal deeds. I became senseless for 24 hours. Then those perpetrators started to create false documents for marriage and put me constant pressure to become Muslim. I was taken in different unknown places for obtaining my consent. I had intention to go to my parents and as such I did not let allow them to know that where I would go.

 

On the other hand my father lodged FIR at Lalpur police station for my recovery, then I told Abdul Mannan “I wish to go to the court and I will go with you”  I appeared before the court for getting my parents back. I was produced before the court wearing BORQUA given by Abdul Mannan. Then I decided to punish them. I was produced before the court on 25^th September,2008 and I declared to go with my parents. Then the court on 25.09.2008 directed to hand over me to my legal guardian.  I passed my 3 days in jail custody. The perpetrators are so powerful they again threatened me in the jail custody to accompany with them. Now I am free from the clutches of terrorism perpetrated on me during my captivity.  The names of perpetrators who tortured me along with Md.Aslam, Raihan, Kibria and Abdul Mannan.

 

I want those perpetrators to be punished so that they can not commit such crime in future so that they can not come out from real justice and punishment.

 

My case Number 26 dated 24.08.2008. Those perpetrators took forceful initiative to convert me from Hindu to Muslim and all the perpetrators violated me, tortured mentally and physically during my captivity (29 days)

 

I am requesting you to be kind to help me giving legal assistance and rehabilitation.

 

Yours obediently
