Truth will come out and his freedom too, says Anand Jon's Sister Sanjana

New Delhi, Oct 02 (ANI): Designer-social activist Sanjana Jon, who is also the sister of jailed US-based Indian fashion designer Anand Jon, is on a 10-day tour in India with reigning Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo to raise awareness about various social issues including female infanticide and women empowerment. Speaking about her brother Anand Jon, in an exclusive interview with ANI, Sanjana exuded confidence in the judiciary and said that she believes her brother will soon walk out of the jail.

Quest for justice in Bangladesh

Bangladesh, Sep 30: After four decades of its freedom, Bangladesh is rejoicing! Justice has almost been done against those who committed crimes against humanity, during the Bangladesh war for secession from Pakistan, in 1971. A court recently declared Jamaat-e-Islami, Bangladesh's biggest Islamic party, to be illegal, effectively banning it from taking part in elections. So far, six party leaders have been convicted of various crimes in connection with the war. On September 17, Bangladesh's Supreme Court sentenced Abdul Quader Mollah, a Jamaat leader to death for war crimes, overturning a life sentence imposed by a tribunal. He was found guilty of murder, rape and torture. Sep 30, 2013
