HOW HUMANITY ATTACKED UNDER
LIAKAT-NURUL AMIN REGIME?
Below in the statement of Sm. Ila Mitra made before the court at Rajshahi with regard to inhuman treatment meted out to a lady, only because she holds a political opinion other than that of Liakat-Nurul Amin Feudal class:
Sm. Ila Mitra in her Statement Pleading “not guilty to the charges said, I know nothing about the case. On 7-1-50 last I was arrested in Rahanpur and taken to Nachole the next day. The police guards assaulted me on the way and thereafter I was taken inside a cell. The S. I. threatened to make me naked if I did not confess everything about the murder. As I had nothing to say all my garments were taken away and I was imprisoned inside the cell in stark naked condition.
No food was given to me, not even a drop of water. The same day in the evening the sepoys began to beat me on the head with butt ends of their guns, in the presence of the S. I. I was profusely bleeding through the nose. Afterwards my garments were returned to me, and at about 12 midnight I was taken out of the cell and read possibly to the quarters of the S.I., but I was not certain.
In that room where I was taken they tried brutal methods to bring out confession. My legs were pressed between two sticks, and the people around.
I was being administered a 'Pakistani injection'. When this torture was going on they tied my mouth with a napkin. They also pulled off my hairs, but as they could not force me to say anything, I was taken back to the cell carried by the sepoys, as after the torture it was not possible for me to walk.
Inside the cell again the S. I ordered the sepoys to bring four hot eggs, and said, now she will talk. Thereafter four or five sepoys forced me to lie down on my back, and one pushed a lot egg through my private parts. I was feeling like being burnt with fire, and became unconscious.
When I came back to my senses in the morning of 9-1-50 the S. I and some sepoys came into my cell and began to kick me on the belly with boots on. Thereafter a nail was pierced through my right heel. I was then lying half conscious, and heard the S. I. muttering: we are coming again at night, and if you do not confess, one by one the sepoys will ravish you. At dead of night, the S. I. and his sepoys came back and the threat was repeated. But as I still refused to say anything, three or four men got hold of me, and a sepoy actually began to rape me. Shortly afterwards I became unconscious. Next day on 10-1-50 when I became conscious again I found that I was profusely bleeding and my cloth was drenched in blood. I was in that state taken to Nawabganj from Nachole. The sepoys in Nawabganj jail gate received me with smart blows.
I was at that time in a prostate condition and the Court Inspector and some sepoys carried me to a cell. I had high fever then and I was still bleeding. A doctor, possibly from the Govt. Hospital at Nawabganj had noted the temperature of my body to be 105°. When he heard from me of the profuse bleeding I had he assured me. I would be treated with the help of a woman nurse. I was also given some medicines and two pieces of rugs.
On 11-1-50 the woman nurse of the Govt. Hospital examined me. I do not know what report she gave about my condition. After she came, the bloodstained piece of cloth I was wearing was changed for a clean one. During all this time, I was in a cell of the Nawabganj P. S. under the treatment of a doctor. I had high fever and profuse bleeding. and was unconscious from time to time.
On 16-1-50 a stretcher was brought before my cell in the evening and I was told that I would have to go elsewhere for examination. On my protest that I was too ill to move about, I was, struck with a stick and forced to get on the stretcher after which I was carried on it to another house. I told nothing there, but the sepoys forced me to sign a blank paper. I was at time in a semi-conscious state with high fever. As my condition was going worse, I was next day transferred to the Nawabganj Govt. Hospital, and on 21-1-50when the state of my health was still very precarious, I was brought from Nawabganj to Rajshahi Central Jail, and was admitted to the Jail Hospital.
I had not under any circumstances said anything to the police, and I have nothing more to say than I have stated above.*
