851 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ তৃতীয় পত্র Mr. Maswood and Mr. Rahim told Japanese newsmen they had defected "because we could no longer bear the terrible repression by the West Pakistan Government in East Bengal." In Berne, on November 2, Mr. Waliur-Rahman, Second Secretary of the Pakistan Embassy in Switzerland and former Charge d'Affairs, announced that he had resigned and was asking for asylum in Switzerland. He accused the Pakistan Government at a news conference of having killed 1,500,000 people in East Pakistan. Mr. Fazlul Karim, Head of Chancery at the Pakistan Embassy in the Egyptian capital of Cairo, arrived in London on October 26 and joined the Bangladesh movement in protest against the policies of the Pakistan Government. The 31-year-old diplomat in a statement said that "the Army junta in West Pakistan has taken a calculated move to deprive the 75 million people of Bangladesh of their basic human rights and keep them in perpetual subjugation." A spokesman for the London based movement said that about 40 East Bengali diplomats had left their posts abroad since the Pakistan Army moved into East Bengal in March.
