Police allegedly killed one at Dotterhaat of Sadar upazila and two others at Rajganj of Begumganj upazila of Noakhali district

On February 28, 2013, Delwar Hossain Sayeedi was awarded death penalty (by hanging till death) by the International Crimes Tribunal-1 for committing war crimes during the liberation war of 1971. In protest of this judgment, supporters of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami observed ‘hartal’ (general strike) at Dotterhaat of Sadar upazila and Rajganj of Begumganj upazila of Noakhali. The police opened fire during the ‘hartal’ when a fish trader Shahid Ullah alias Liton (33) and a shop keeper namely Nuruddin (17) were killed at Begumganj. At Dotterhaat, a helper of a pick-up van namely Khokon (16) was killed due to police firing. Their families alleged that they were shot dead, despite having no affiliation with any political parties.
