[2] Gonoshasthaya Kendra founder DR Zafrullah Chowdhury said that the capital punishment for the rapists is just a trick, reports Jago News.
[3] “The rapists should be given a term for 50 years and that should not be like Samrat (Ismail Hossain Chowdhury Samrat),” said Dr Zafrullah. [4] He made the remarks while speaking at a human chain programme before National Press Club yesterday. [5] Followers of Maulana Bhasani organized the programme demanding putting an end to torture on women and maximum punishment for the rapists. [6] “You should not think that the movement will stop. Bangabandhu is certainly regretting after seeing today’s Bangladesh. We all should request you (PM). Please come to the streets and see for yourself. Then the nation will understand you want to solve the national problem,” said Dr Zafrullah.
[7] He said: “Instead of waging movement for the capital punishment, you should make a demand for a 50 year term.”
