Ravi Shankar, Concert For Bangladesh, Madison Square, 1971
*Justice Nizamul Haq was the presiding judge of the International Crime Tribunal(ICT) that was trying the war crime perpetrators of 1971 until recently in Bangladesh!Obtaining some hacked mails and Skype conversation of Justice Nizamul with a Brussels based international law expert, British based magazine 'The Economist' shouted foul that he was unfair to the defendants!To preserve both his personal dignity and seemingly not to get ICT into a long drawn debate Justice Nizamul resigned like the fallen CIA chief General Petraus!
*Ironically The Economist affair was more of 'views' instead of 'news' and a persuasion to impose that 'view'!While imposing these views The Economist also overlooked the rights of the victims and their relatives to seek justice!While highlighting which media has said what about the ICT, this blog post would look into the contradictory mindset and double standard of the British press in general!
