Compare & contrast #Shahbagh with protests to absolve war criminals of charges in other countries, or the more typical indifference
@rezwan it always is; as I said, I understand protests, and deplore absolution of war criminals, but opposing the death penalty is principle

@asteris There was perception that the govt./court had cowed down by Jamaat protests and lobbying. Protests r bold statements for justice. -
@rezwan in Greece, we always protest against bipartisanship & impunity of pols, but never actually to change electoral law or amend const.

@asteris The catch is the trial is under independent judiciary. Protests not gonna change anything.Its just that it instills the massopinion -
@rezwan I always wonder, though, why protests rarely demand change of status quo (eg. electoral laws, judicial processes, const. amendments) -
@asteris This is not a planned protest, mainly impulse of bloggers who r vocal 4 trial of war criminls. Will get to broaderissues 1at a time
