504 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খন্ড The atrocities committed by the Pakistani soldiers clearly indicate that the concept of one nation and one country had never taken root in the minds of Yahya Khan and his associates because such acts could never be permitted by an army except on an alien people whom it wants to subdue and terrorize. We appeal to you and through you to the Government and people of the United States of America to take the following steps immediately: 1. Recognize the Govt. of the People's Republic of Bangladesh. Put pressure on Islamabad to secure the release of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and all other political prisoners in Bangladesh. 2. Give all possible help to Bangladesh in defense of freedom and democracy. Stop all aid to Pakistan, including aid in the pipeline. Sever all trade and economic relations with Pakistan. Force Yahya to stop his campaign of genocide.
Establish an International Commission of Jurists to enquire into the acts of genocide and traffic in women committed by the Pakistan troops, and to punish the culprits. BONGAO August 10, 1971. Yours faithfully, On behalf of Bangladesh Refugee Intellectuals now in West Bengal
