The International Chittagong Hill Tracts Commission (CHTC) condemns the alleged attack by the 51 Border Guards\u00a0Bangladesh\u00a0(BGB) on indigenous villagers in Babuchara Union in Dighinala Upazila of Khagrachari district in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) of\u00a0Bangladesh\u00a0in the afternoon of\u00a0June 10, 2014. The CHTC calls upon the Government to take immediate action to ensure fully independent and impartial investigation and bring the guilty to justice in a manner to prevent any further recurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to news reports, between 14 to 17 people have been injured in this attack which was over a long-standing dispute over land which the BGB has been trying to use to set up a new battalion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a Court Stay Order over the land which says that&nbsp;no one is to use the piece of land in question&nbsp;until the Court has given its verdict over the ownership of the said land. Local indigenous people have been using this land for cultivation for many years and it was only in 1991, during the insurgency and before land ownership issues were settled, that the Government of Bangladesh took the initiative to build a BGB Battalion there, to which the locals protested as they had customary ownership of the land.&nbsp;It is&nbsp;most regrettable and unacceptable that members of the discipline&nbsp;forces like BGB and police defy the&nbsp;Court Order and involve in gross violation of human rights of the innocent people of the indigenous&nbsp;community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the incident of June 10, there are allegations that both the BGB and nearby police\u00a0attacked and injured\u00a0local indigenous people who protested the setting up of the battalion\u00a0and also used tear gas on them. It is\u00a0completely unacceptable for state authorities to use such brutal force against protesters. We immediately urge the authorities to carry out a fair,\u00a0thorough and independent investigation into this attack and arrest\u00a0those responsible for abusing their power as law-enforcers.\u00a0Those found guilty in the due process must be\u00a0brought to justice failing which such violations will go on unabated. CHTC also calls\u00a0upon the\u00a0Government to urgently amend the Land Commission Act and appoint an able,\u00a0credible and fair person\u00a0as the Chairperson of the Land Commission to settle all land disputes in the CHT to prevent further violence and human rights violations in the\u00a0area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br>News No. 28\/2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>chtnews.comFriday, June 13,\u00ad 2014 THE INTERNATIONAL Chittagong Hill Tracts Commission has condemned the 10 June attack on indigenous Jumma villagers in Babuchara by BGB\u2019s 51th Battalion and called for an independent investigation and justice, according to a press release issued by it.
