Law taking own course. It is Bangladesh internal affair. I fail to understand why Pakistanis are breaking their head..., utter no sense...

Wrong reporting, it is Jamat Islami protesting not Pakistan

Simple Advice to Pakistani's - MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS - Who has appointed you as authorised spokesman of muslim's across the world.. You have enough mess created by yourself in your country which will take a life time or more to clean, concentrate on that.

@Kamal: Because Pakistan considers Bangladeshis as brothers. Which is obviously too much for india to handle.

just look at their age....unbelievable that they are so worked up about something that happened more than 40 yrs back....most of them were not even born then......instead of concentrating on studies and striving towards a better future, they are beating their heads on such issues....deplorable.....

When is Pakistan going to Punish those who committed murder, rape and atrocities many folds more than the convicted lot of Bangla Desh.

'War of separation' and NOT 'war of independence'. The use of correct terms is important in 'honest' reporting and journalism.

I really don't understand this. Bangladesh is an independent country and has its own judiciary. What they do in their country, as long as it doesn't interfere in the business of Pakistan, is their own business and nothing to do with us. JI is a failed party in Pakistan and has a handful of supporters. Islami Jamiat-e-Taliba is the student wing of JI and I really don't understand how come they (students) have the time away from their studies, in Ramzan, to demonstrate about what Bangladesh is doing to its citizens!. I wonder if they have been "encouraged" by the seniors in JI (in Pakistan) to demonstrate!. Why do Pakistanis have to take upon themselves to "save & protect" Islam and Muslims, all over the world, while their own country is burning at both ends. On a personal note, I think Bangladesh should hang the person responsible for killing many many innocent people in their country. Why should we care how old is the killer. Did we forget eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth?.

@Niran: We could say to Tom, Dicks and harry's from India who come dawn's forum on and give their 2 cents worth.

this further proves that accused are truly guilty...

I don't understand what's wrong if criminals being punished for their involvement in war crimes comitted against Bengalies . We Pakistanies should be ashamed of ourselves.

"Begane ki shaadi mein Abdullah dewana"

Why is a crime against people not to be punished; does jamat not care about the innocent people of Bangladesh who were butchered in thousand; when will jamat in Pakistan learn to focus pakistan's own internal problems.

I think the Title of the article is very misleading. Pakistan did not protest against the recent developments in Bangladesh. It was JI who have got the Ummati-muslima protection Contract since the beginning of times and they are protesting on everything happening in the world except the ongoing slaughter of Pakistanis by terrorists.

its a brutal punishments. death sentencing, 90 years for 90 years. awarded on hear says. were not allowed to defend themselves. it was war. one political party connived with an arch enemy to dismember its own sovereign country. got hundered thousand soliders impersioned by that country on its own soil. one need not worry about pakistan. there is always a silver line at the end of the tunnel. we are fighting a proxy war for the past 30 years. let there be no mistake in the minds of our friends that pakistan has the guts to bounce back. we will continue to raise our voice in favour of oppressed people all over the world including india and bengladesh.

looking at the coments of some foreigners just say's the standard of Pakistan News, well done Dawn News just keep the good work up people around the world do relay on you

i am surprised to read all above comments and really dissappointed by the attititudde of the pakistani government also, these are not those people who have created mess in the country neither those who are involved in separatists movement in pakistan infact these are those who are always the supporters of Pakistan and two nation theory,if u think that they are doing wrong then think of those soldiers also who are fighting against the separatists in baluchistan and one day god forbid if it really get separated then our soldiers will be punished then i will ask u again is that really their internal affair??

Those who defend these sentences on the basis of course of law should know that these are politically motivated and which is why the chief of these prosecutions had to resign because according to him government forced him to award tough sentences to the accused. Its all to please India and kind of make Bangladesh a homogeneous country targeting Islamic and Propakistani forces. Jamaati Islami did nothing wrong but they fought for the unity of East and West Pakistan.

@a: yes you consider them brothers and killed many of them in 1971. this shows your love for them. it was too much for india to handle to see brothers killing brothers.

two side (paki/bengali) of the same coin

@a: Learn to treat other Pakistanis as brothers before preaching.

@Jamshed Khan: it was a war for independence from an oppressive military establishment. paks should be proud of the fact that most of the population of jinnah's pakistan managed to free themselves from our armed forces (the population of bengal was over 54% of the total)

first they kill 4 millionof them, then they deny it, nd then wnt it to go un;punished

morally banbkrupt - and that is the core of your problems. it also tells me that Islam is the reasson why you conducted genocide

@zia ur rehman: why not talk about oppressed people in your own country (pakistan)

@unaiza arif: When state fails to protect its own citizens and infact persecute its citizens then they have the to do anything which they think good for them.
