<HR width="100%" SIZE=2>Bangladesh hunts for mutineers after deadly revolt

[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]6 hours ago[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]DHAKA (AFP) — Bangladesh on Monday hunted for 1,000 fugitive soldiers accused of butchering their senior officers in a mutiny which left 150 people dead or missing and raised fears for the new civilian government.[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The bloodshed presented Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina with a major crisis little more than two months after she won power in elections that ended two years of army rule in the impoverished South Asian country.[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Hasina ordered the military to join the search for the mutineers, and also sought help from the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the United Nations and British police.[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]"We have given the rebels who fled 24 hours to surrender and that expired at 4:00 pm Sunday, so I have summoned the army and other forces to hunt them," the prime minister told parliament late Sunday.[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Hasina said arrest warrants had been issued for 1,000 soldiers, as well as accomplices "who organised cars, boats to help (the mutineers) flee."[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The Brussels-based International Crisis Group said that Hasina was moving to pre-empt any attempts at a military takeover.[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]"Steps taken by the government appear to have reduced the threat of any coup," the group said in a statement on Monday, though it warned the country still faced "a significant conflict risk."[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The soldiers fled the Dhaka headquarters of the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) on Thursday, apparently dressed as civilians, after a 33-hour mutiny which turned the capital into a battle zone.[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]They left behind gruesome scenes with at least 78 bodies, many mutilated by bayonets, dumped in mass graves and thrown down drains. Some 70 senior army officers are still missing.[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]President Zillur Rahman led huge crowds gathered in Dhaka on Monday for the funerals of 50 of the dead, including the BDR chief and his wife.[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The revolt reportedly stemmed from a dispute over pay and conditions in the BDR force, which is tasked with guarding Bangladesh's long and porous border with India.[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]It only ended after Hasina met a group of BDR troops and threatened to use force if they did not surrender. Six of those who met the prime minister are on the wanted list for the killing spree.[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The government has said it will set up a special tribunal to try those behind the killing spree, with some facing execution by hanging.[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The prime minister initially declared an amnesty for those who surrendered, but later said those who committed murder would be punished.[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Most of the bodies recovered were found in shallow graves concealed under leaves and loose dirt in the BDR compound.[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Divers pulled some bodies from underground sewers and an operation was under way to flush out the depot's drainage system to check for further corpses.[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Bangladesh's short history has been steeped in political bloodshed, coups and counter-coups since a brutal 1971 war of independence from Pakistan.[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Hasina's own family was decimated in a 1975 coup with her father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh's first head of state, killed along with his wife and three sons. Hasina and her sister were out of the country at the time. [/FONT]

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Some 50 unemployed Bangladeshi migrant workers gathered in front of Singapore's Ministry of Manpower on Monday, urging the government to give them work and help retrieve overdue pay from previous employers.

The shipyard workers said they were promised new jobs by ministry officials when they were moved out of their employers' dormitories after their firms went bankrupt and could not pay them.

"No job, no money, only eating and sleeping," said Tutul Abdul Manan, a 31-year-old who said he gave up his temporary job with the government in the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka and paid some S$9,000 ($5,964) for a brokerage fee to work in Singapore.

Singapore's construction, shipyard and manufacturing industries were once red hot, hiring almost 800,000 migrants in 2007. But as the economy slid into recession last year, demand for labour dived and major projects were cancelled or delayed.

Human rights groups say many of the world's estimated 100 million migrant workers are in dire predicaments as economic woes in the Gulf, Singapore and Taiwan lead to mass layoffs of labourers from across Asia.

Protests in tightly-controlled Singapore were only made legal last year in a designated zone, "Speakers' Corner", modelled after the one in London's Hyde Park. Elsewhere public gatherings of five or more people are illegal without a police permit.

The Bangladeshi migrants were allowed to meet officials after an hour of waiting.

"We are trying to help them negotiate with their employer discreetly. But they have become more and more savvy by inviting the media here," one government official said at the gathering.

Singapore defends the need for tough protest laws, citing concerns over public safety and order. But several international human right groups such as Amnesty International have said Singapore uses these laws to stifle dissent.

That is why Lee Dynasty matas always gave Bangladeshis here special respect, they can protest at MOM in hundred and not get arrested.

NS MEN have to do the RIGHT THING in order to earn the respect they deserve from Singaporean people and the Lee Kwan Yew govt. Bangladeshis did already.
