Press Statement in protest of Human Rights Violation and Religious Persecution against
the Jumma Nation in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), Bangladesh.


On May 7, 2006
In front of the
Prime Minister Residence
Sydney, Australia


United Jumma International (UJI) is a Human Rights Organisation based on Jumma Nation. It is totally non-political and non-profitable organisation. It was established in 2004. The main objects of the organisation is on Humanitarian issues such as Human Rights Violation, Religious persecution, atrocities, killing, rape and discrimination against the Jumma Nation in particular and other ethnic, linguistic and religious minorities in general.

The UJI organised a demonstration in front of John Howard Residence, Prime Minister of Australia in protest of systematic Human Rights Violation and Religious Persecution by the Bangladesh Government against the Jumma Nation in the CHT. The UJI strongly condemned to the Government of Bangladesh for recent communal attacked by Muslim settlers and Islamic Fundamentalists in the CHT.

On 17th of April 2006, Ms Jamuna Tripura (14), d/o Krisna Dayal Karbari from Krisna Dayal Karbaripara, Matiranga Police Station under the Khagrachari Hill District was kidnaped by the Muslim settlers named Abul Kalam (22), s/o unknown and Abdul Hawk, s/o Samya from DP para, Asalong under the Khagrachari District. She was returnee refugee from India and studying class VII standard at the Higher Secondary School, Panchari. Her father along with Nagorik Andolan Samity informed the matter to the Police Station as well as Deputy Commissioner. But, no action yet taken.

On 3rd April 2006, five jumma village (Saprue Karbaripara, Nuapara, Chakrapara, Paisi Mahajanpara and Pathapara) and one orphanage school of Maischari Union under the Khagrachari Hill District in CHT, Bangladesh was attacked, raped, destroyed and looted by the Muslim settlers and Islamic Fundamentalists. As a result, 11 jummas was injured including two girls gang raped. They are admitted in the Khagrachari District Hospital. Mr. Tuku Mani Chakma (30), s/o Asha Purna Chakma from Maischari was chopped on his ear and cheek (photo attached). Later he was transferred to the Chittagong Medical College with serious condition. Ms.Thuimrajai Marma (16), d/o late Mamong Marma and Ms. Kraijaima Marma (20), d/o Chaihla Prue Marma both from Saprue Karbaripara was gang raped (photo attached). Ven. Sumana Mahathera, Director of Bouddha Shishughar Orphanage school was manhandled and beaten up (photo attached). Mr. Sa Prue Marma (65), s/o late Nishi Marma from Saprue Karbaripara was beaten mercilessly on his head (photo attached). Jumma villagers took shelter at the Balipara Primary school (photo attached). About 100 jumma houses including one Orphanage school were exposed, looted and destroyed.

In between 1971-97, fifteen massacres and genocides were perpetrated by Muslim settlers and Islamic Fundamentalists with the direct help of army, Ansar, APBN(Armed Police Battalion) and VDP (Village Defence Party). Since after the CHT Peace Accord in 1997, nine major communal attacked was committed by the Muslim settlers and Islamic Fundamentalists with the help of military and government machineries.

The UJI is concerned on Islamic Terrorist Activities in Bangladesh. Such as training of Islamic terrorists going on in Cox's Bazar and Bandarban; Harqat-ul Jihad from Afghanistan active in Lemuchari, Pahartali; Islamic Terrorists illegal weapon factories at Edgarh and Maheskhali.Islamic Terrorists activities have been also widely documented in Bangladesh by the Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, US Department of State on International Religious Freedom, New York Times, Boston Glove, Hindustan Times, BBC News, CNN News, etc.(35 pages of documents on Terrorists activities in Bangladesh submitted along with Memorandum to John Howard, Prime Minister of Australia). So, the documents is proved that Ms Begum Khaleda Zia is a terrorist Prime Minister in Bangladesh like Bin Ladin in Afghanistan. The Bangladesh National Party (BNP) and her coalition partners all are terrorists and Islamic Fundamentalists.Therefore, Terrorist Prime Minister and her government sponsoring thousands of Muslim settlers, Islamic Fundamentalists and terrorist groups to enter in the CHT from plain districts to cleansing the Jumma Nation from their Homeland. The state sponsored Muslim settlers, Islamic Fundamentalists and Terrrorist groups attacking, burning, arsoning, etc.on the Jumma villages and killing, raping, etc to the innocent jumma peoples in CHT. It is one of the prove that the Terrorist Prime Minister, not willing to implement the Peace Accord which signed in 1997. Instead of implement, the terrorist Prime Minister declared military rule in the named of "Operation Uttaran" in CHT.

I, on behalf of UJI appeals to the International Communities, National and International Human Rights Organisations and the Donor Countries to Bangladesh , etc. that:

• To send UN Peace-Keeping Force in CHT Region as soon as possible in line with Darfur, Sudan;
• Bring to Ms Begum Khaleda Zia in the International Criminal Court for committing genocides, widespread Human Rights Violations, sponsoring, encouraging and supporting Muslim settlers, Islamic Fundamentalists and Terrorist Organisations which is amount to "crime against humanity" against the Jumma Nation in particular in CHT and non-muslim in general ;
• To stop aid and cut off Diplomatic relationship with government of Bangladesh untill Jumma Nation demand meet;
• To rehabilitate Muslim settlers and Islamic Fundamentalists outside the CHT Region with funding from the UN, EU and other multi-lateral financial institutions;
• To ask the Bangladesh Government to demilitarize in the CHT Region and withdraw all "temporary military, para-military camps and de facto military rule 'Operation Uttaran" as per as Peace Accord ;
• To put pressure to " Implement the Peace Accord" fully and properly;
• To ask Bangladesh Government to rehabilitate jumma affected families in the recent communal violence and give proper conpensations; and
• To ask Government of Bangladesh to bring all perpetrators to justice.




Yours Sincerely,
