The Pakistani occupation army in 9 months killed approximately 3 million people, violated over two hundred thousand women and forced 10 million people to cross the border and take shelter in India. This number of people killed by the Pakistani Army is the highest in such a short period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 1971 Genocide by the Pakistan Army is well documented and reported in the international media and also in the diplomatic correspondences during that period. The world media including The Telegraph, The Times, The Sunday Times, The New York Times and several news agencies reported the massacre of the Bengalis by the Pakistan Army. The story of the massacre of the fateful night of 25 March 1971 was highlighted in the international news media. The Pakistan Army committed systematic and organized rape as a special weapon of war. Young girls and women were abducted and repeatedly raped and gang-raped in special camps run by the Army near Army barracks (Rounaq Jahan, Genocide in Bangladesh). The Pakistani Army under a blue print systematically killed the intellectuals and professionals of Bangladesh, apart from the mass killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Urgent need for UN Resolution:\u003C\u002Fstrong> Without further delay, there needs to be an UN-sponsored Resolution condemnation against the Pakistanis. Then perpetrators must be brought to justice. The new generation must know what treatment was meted out to Bangladeshi people who deserve to enjoy equal human rights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Unfortunately,\u003C\u002Fstrong> \u003Cstrong>Bangladesh GENOCIDE\u003C\u002Fstrong> has today become a forgotten chapter in the history and we know the common phrase, ‘Justice delayed, justice denied’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Lack of international recognition of the 1971 GENOCIDE:\u003C\u002Fstrong> Due to lack of international recognition, the history of that horror, Genocide has become faded in the world context today. Bangladesh community in Europe feel that the 1971 GENOCIDE should be recognised by the international community to give justice to the victims of the atrocities meted out by the Pakistan Army and its political leadership and their local Bangladeshi collaborators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>N:B: Pl see Program and Banner
