5 3 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খন্ড শিরোনাম সূত্র তারিখ ইয়াহিয়া খানের বিরুদ্ধে বাংলাদেশের লন্ডনস্থ বাংলাদেশ এ্যাকশন ৫ মে, ১৯৭১ সমর্থনে সোচ্চার হওয়ার জন্য বিশ্ববাসীর কমিটির প্রচারপত্র প্রতি আহবান BANGLADESH TODAY! BANGLADESH TODAY! BANGLADESH TODAY! The outside world has no means to know what is going on inside Bangladesh. Yahya's military Government has expelled all foreign journalists from the country, quarantined foreign diplomats inside and has cut all telecommunications with the rest of the world. The Red Cross aid has been refused and its men have been turned out from Karachi Air port. All local newspaper reports are censored and the newspaper proprietors are forced at the point of bayonet to write reports in favor of the army. In short, the whole of 55 thousand sq. miles of Bangladesh has been turned into a vast concentration camp where unarmed and innocent men, women and children are being meticulously massacred, cities and villages arc being bombed, burnt and destroyed. All these savageries far surpassing that of the Huns of history are being carried out by military dictator Yahya Khan in the name of God, not because that the 75 million people of Bangladesh are godless, but because they wanted justice from him. They wanted to stop the exploitation of the majority people of Bangladesh by the industrio-military clique of the minority people of West Pakistan. They wanted that Yahya, as he promised before the election in December, 1970, should transfer power to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman whose party, Awami League, turned out to be the absolute majority Party in last election. But Yahya was not ready to transfer power to Bangladesh which never happened to enjoy power since the creation of Pakistan in 1947. To the estimation of the ruling classes of West Pakistan, the Bengalis are born to be ruled, not to rule on the basis of equality. Hence, in order to preserve the West Pakistan domination, Yahya created a political crisis by abruptly and unilaterally postponing the Constituent Assembly for indefinite period. And to solve his self-created crisis he arrested Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his leading followers, ordered his 80 thousand West Pakistani troops in occupation of Bangladesh to kill and maim the politicians, professors, students, lawyers and all other unarmed civilians including women and children. By committing such medieval savagery Yahya has outraged the conscience of the world and has forfeited his right to sit with the civilized community of nations. This is the time for the conscientious world to speak and force him to stop his crime against humanity.
