Indian convicts sentenced to different terms

A total of 19 persons, including four Bangladeshi nationals, have been sentenced to different terms of jail in a case filed over the infamous bomb blast which took place in West Bengal’s Burdwan district in 2014.
The four Bangladeshis were jailed for 10 years, our Kolkata correspondent reports.
Among the Indian convicts, two female convicts were jailed for six years and others for eight years each, a lawyer said.
The convicted four Bangladeshi nationals are: Sheikh Rahmatullah alias Sajid alias Burhan Sheikh alias Surot Ali, Sadiq alias Sumon alias Tarikul Islam alias Raihan Sheikh, Liakot Ali Pramanik alias Rafique alias Rafiqul alias Mohammad Rubel, and Habibur Raman alias Jahidul Islam alias Jabirul Islam alias Zafar.
The Special NIA Court in Kolkata handed down the sentence to the convicts today two days after it found them guilty in the blast case on Wednesday.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) of India, in a statement, said the NIA Court of Kolkata on August 28 convicted 19 accused for all the charges against them after they pleaded guilty to the charges in the case.
On October 2 in 2014, a powerful bomb (IED) blast took place at the first floor of a rented house in the busy Khagragarh locality of Burdwan District of West Bengal at about 12:15pm.
The IED had accidentally gone off at the time of its making by the members of banned terrorist outfit Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB).
The rented house was occupied by the members of JMB, ostensibly for Burkha Stitching though in reality it was being used for nefarious activity of bomb making, the NIA statement said.
Two accused persons in the case had succumbed to their injuries caused due to bomb blast and one accused survived with grievous injuries.
The case was initially registered by West Bengal Police, which was subsequently taken over by NIA for investigation.
The investigation by NIA revealed a conspiracy by JMB to radicalise, recruit and provide training in arms and explosives to its members in India as well as to commit terrorist acts and wage war against the democratically established Governments of India and Bangladesh, according to the NIA statement.
A large number of IEDs, explosives, hand grenades, training videos were recovered during the investigation of the case.

How a cyber attack hampered Hong Kong protesters

Massive public protests taking place in Hong Kong over the past week are aimed at a new extradition law, known as the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance , that would see accused criminals extradited to mainland China to face prosecution. Hongkongers feel the law could be used to legalise the kidnapping of people who express views, and act in ways, that are not popular with the Chinese government . The same law could also be used to extradite tourists and visitors to China who are arrested on suspicion of having committed these crimes. Protesters want the bill scrapped. For now, debate of the legislation has been postponed . Organisers say one million people turned out for the protests, while police estimate the number was around 240,000. Either way, it was a significant number of Hong Kong’s 7.5 million population. Commentators on Twitter remarked on how well organised the protesters were. So, how did they do it? Protesters across the world are using n

Islam Has Massacred Over 669+ Million Non-Muslims Since 622AD

In fact, no ideology has been as genocidal as Islam… Islam has killed more than 5 times the number of people killed by communism. In the total numbers we have updated over 80 million Christians killed by Muslims in 500 years in the Balkan states, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia. Then we have India. The official estimate number of Muslim slaughters of Hindus is 80 million. However, Muslim historian Firistha (b. 1570) wrote (in either Tarikh-i Firishta or  the Gulshan-i Ibrahim) that Muslims slaughtered over 400 million Hindus up to the peak of Islamic rule of India, bringing the Hindu population down from 600 mil to 200 million at the time. With these new additions the Muslim genocide of non-Muslims since the birth of Mohammed would be  over 669 million murders. Islam: The Religion of Genocide Perspective:   Think the Spanish inquisition was bad? More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition* combined.
