Subject: M-I: Arrest of revolutionary in Bangladesh


Dear Friends,

We have been receiving your E-mails for quite a few weeks. So far we
remember, you have sent us a letter including information about a new
web page. The web page is particularly devoted to help the political
prisoners in many ways. Moreover, it is also dedicated to help stop
the extradition of the prisoners.


Anup Chetia alias Golap Barua, General Secretary of United Liberation
Front of Assam (ULFA), [India] was arrested recently in Dhaka,
Bangladesh. We apprehend that Bangladesh government is going to
extradite him to India, as a result of the understanding between the
two governments about not giving shelter to each other's political
rebel leaders. We also apprehend that once extradited Anup Chetia may
have to face a death sentence or death under police custody which is
very common in such cases in India. However, as far as we know, there
is no such agreements between the two countries to extradite
prisoners.  


An appeal has been made by Mr. Saiful Islam Dildar (Secretary General,
Bangladesh Human Rights Commission --BHRC, 278, Gulbagh, Ground
Floor,Malibagh, Dhaka--1217, Bangladesh, FAX -- 880-2-411163).


The appeal is being dealt by lawyer Dr. Kazi Aktar Hamid (room no.37,
1st floor, Supreme Court, Bar Association Building, Dhaka-1000,
Bangladesh, FAX-880-2-9564504; E-mail<<kahamid-AT-bdcom.com>


The hearing of the appeal will be held on March 4, 1998 morning. The
extradition of Anup Chetia has not been refuted through any large
scale demonstration in Bangladesh, although more than six national
political organizations expressed their concern on the matter and
demanded all measures to ensure his security which includes stopping
of his extradition. Relevantly, mass demonstration and campaigns are
being held in Assam, India against the arrest and prospective
extradition of Anup Chetia.


If there is any web page or support program in the USA or anywhere,
please forward our letter to them. We request you to help us to raise
an international campaign to stop the extradition of Anup Chetia. We
also request you to provide us with addresses who can help us
regarding the issue.
