Her A+ in the intermediate assessment test brought her fame from even the local parliament member in Tongi, Bangladesh. She dreamed of the studies she would complete past 5th grade and continue on to her higher studies. But, everything was clouded for her on April 6th when she was kidnapped on her way home from school.
This 11-year old innocent Hindu girl was forcefully converted to Islam, which she had no idea of, and she was then married off to a man named Manik. For 55 days she was raped by Manik and other members of the group.
She was put to marriage that she did not agree to legally by a mollah, a Muslim priest. Being so young and naive, she didn't even understand what they were making her do when she was forcefully married. She was repeatedly raped from the day after she was kidnapped and the other kidnappers also tried to rape her.
At the age of 11, she cries of her life, which she cannot get back and change. As for Bangladesh, this incident has brought to light the conditions that Bangladeshi minorities are living through every day, which is primarily targeted towards the young Hindu girls.

New Nazi and Hitler in Bangladesh
Families after families and houses after house are burning in Bangladesh. The international media has not taken any notice so far as another civil war erupted in the 8th populated nation. Bangladesh has always been a nation with Muslim majority; however, with the large population of minorities, there had been amiable nature between all of the sects. There has been one party that had been on the rise which is trying to transform the country into the state that Pakistan is in.
Recently, Hindus, minorities in Bangladesh has been targeted the most. Temples throughout the nation has been vandalized. In Noakhali, 76 Hindu houses had been burned down. Countless lives has been lost, but the international media is still silent and the human rights commissions are silent.
This "Bangla Spring" has been rarely taken into notice by the American government and American media. However, if the Islamic sects succeed, then there is a likely chance that Bangladesh will be turned into Afghanistan or Pakistan. This might become a major problem for not just Bangladesh's minorities and for the Western countries as well as Bangladesh might turn out to be a terrorist nation.
Prosecutors have compared one of the most important war criminals to Hitler. It was decided that the entire world will look into any nation that suffers from similar atrocity. Just as the Jews had been excavated out of their homeland and killed and raped, the minorities has also been punished the same way but the world didn't look at them.
This atrocity should be stopped. Let those cries be stopped. Let the new Nazi Jamaat be stopped.

Shahbag Protest Sparked by Social Media
With the spark from the social media, Shahbag turned into a protest, demanding the capital punishment for 1971 war criminals. Shahbag protest has turned into a strict demand, searching only for the death penalty for all those who committed war crimes.
The spark erupted after Abdul Quader Molla, the secretary general of Bangladesh's Islamist party Jamaat-e Islami was sentenced to life in prison for murder, rape, torture and other crimes committed during the 1971 liberation war. With the verdict, Shahbag turned into Tahrir Square in Bangladesh.
The protest started from this Facebook event is titled: "Protest Against the Ruling Made for Quader Mulla". Till now, there are more than 12,000 Facebook users who are attending the event. Their only demand from dawn to dusk is to change the verdict. The Facebook event was created by Bloggers and Online Activists Network (BOAN) in order to protest against the verdict. Facebook still continues to play a major role in the protest as users of Facebook spread their message through video, photos and words. ICSF and Kazi Sudipto as well as many others started to share photos from their experience in the protest.
Quader Molla is proven to be in association with the killing of Pallab, a Bangla College student and the burning and killing of Hazrat Ali Laskar, his wife, two daughters (of whom one was raped) and two year old son. Additionally, he was also convicted of three other charges that had been proven. He wasn't given the death sentence even though Bangladesh still allows death sentence to be carried out.
The whole incident has been manipulated throughout the media. Some sources said that Associate Press had reported at the beginning that the event was by Jamaat-e-Islami themselves and that news spread to many news agencies throughout the world such as ABC and the Miami Herald. BBC was also brought into question when they emphasized on focusing on Abdur Razzaq, the lead lawyer for the Jamaat leaders facing trial, who described the tribunal as "a witch hunt". BBC's inaccuracies were also questioned, which led the BBC Bengali division to closely monitor the event and write clearly. Toby Cadman of The Huffington Post writes in a sympathetic tone towards Khaleda Zia, the opposition leader of Bangladesh. There was much more emphasis of the death of Jamaat activists and ICT was blamed for censorship. Many human rights activists are protesting themselves against the death penalty of the war criminals, to which Bangladeshi Facebook users are growing furious. All Party Parliamentary Group on Human Rights and the UN Human Rights Council will be reporting about the ruling that would be made in the case to see if it is justified by human rights to which many Bangladeshi citizens oppose.
Many Facebook groups started to spread words of small emphasis in order to spur the attention of the media towards the other direction. , Converse News, and Basherkella are three of those Facebook groups that has started to spread various biased news supporting the Jamaat. They are spreading news of one of the main leaders of the campaign being hurt by other members of the same group. Bangladeshi bloggers are blaming Ekushey TV (a private TV channel) for their wrong emphasis on the issue and creating a mob out of it. Many are also blaming them for spreading the news to change the public's attention from the actual event.
A new website has been constructed for the issue and @ShahbagSquare has become a major Twitter feed for updates of Shahbag. The protest has also been carried out to other nations which has been captured by Flickr. Many of the Bangladeshi blog aggregates have erupted as well, protesting for the death sentence of war criminals including Sachalayatan, Amarblog and Somewhereinblog. The location of the protest has also been renamed to "Projonmo Chattor" after the protests had started. Without meeting their demands, the protesters said that they will not move. These demands includes: capital punishment for Quader Mullah and all war criminals, ban on Jamaat and boycott on all Jamaat institutions. Kader Molla death was demanded in Causes.com and the petition has already received more than 5,000 signatures. #shahbag has become one of the important hashtags in Twitter. An online radio has also been started to protest against the ruling that alludes to the Swadhin Bangla Betar that gave the Bangladeshis news during 1971.
