| Pres. Ziaur Rahman |
In 1981, Bangladeshi president (and general)
Ziaur Rahman was assassinated, leading to two courts-martial, the execution of 13 officers, and the jailing of 14 more. Now, according to
this article in the
Daily Star, there are calls to examine those trials for irregularities such as refusing to permit challenges to court members for cause. Until now, the proceedings have been cloaked in secrecy. Between 400 and 500 Bangladeshi soldiers were hanged in 1975-77.
