We all know about the Nusrat murder case of Feni, the accused in this case, Kamrun Nahar Moni, was arrested for three months pregnant. The PBI arrested him on April 16, 2019. Later, he gave birth to a daughter in prison. The child was also in jail along with the mother.
On Tuesday, September 15, Kamrun Nahar Moni was released from Kashimpur Mahila Kendra Jail in Gazipur with his baby daughter after the legal process. Earlier in August this year, 10 accused including Kamrun Nahar Moni were acquitted due to lack of sufficient evidence in the full court of the High Court.
After hearing the news, I have a question again and again - what was the child's crime?
The mother was accused in a case, the charges were brought against him, the court finally acquitted him, but there was no charge against the child. He did not commit any crime, so why did a child have to be in prison for a period of seven years after birth?
The answer to this question is in the book of law, there are many interpretations of reality, but the most true thing for me as a child organization worker is that a child's childhood and not return.
Seven years is very little
Seven years in a child's life is very good.
In this time a child learns to walk, learn to speak, go to school, make friends, play sports, learn music, draw pictures, know nature, and his world is slowly becoming a য়য়.
But this child's world was in the prison wall.
He doesn't know what the prison is, he doesn't know what the case is, he doesn't know what the court is, he just knows—her mother is with her, and there is an unusual atmosphere around.
How normal was this environment for a child? What effect did it have on his mental development? How will he think of this relationship of his childhood? The answers to these questions cannot be found now.
But we have to ask the questions.
Because children cannot speak on their own, they should talk to their children.
Why am I so wondering
I have been involved in working with children and teenagers since childhood, which is not just an organization for me, it is also part of my outing.
The traditional children's organization Khelaghar, established on May 2, 1952, has been talking about children's rights, education, culture, sports and rising beautifully for a long time.
I have had the opportunity to go to many families to work for children, I have seen children's joy, I have seen suffering. When a child cannot go to school due to lack, a child cannot play, when a child is a family problem, be quiet and think of a child activist.
But it is difficult for me to accept that a child will stay in jail for a long time without committing a crime.
It is the pain of an organizer. The suffering of a citizen. The suffering of a man is also.
Law for people, children are human beings
we want the law. Crime I want justice, whoever the culprit, the law should come to the law—this is also wanted.
But it must be ensured that no innocent child is harmed in order to apply the law.
If a mother If a case is in jail and a child is with him, first of all, you have to see what the child needs to have another safe arrangement for his stay, whether anyone in the family can take him or not, give a safe shelter through the state or social welfare - these poisons should be given importance or not. will be
In all cases, the same system will not be possible, but the child's poison should not be an incidental poison in the case of the mother's case.
The baby has an identity of his own.
He is not a part of anyone's case.
It's all over when released
Today the child is free from prison. It is definitely good news, but I think the dungeon is not over here.
After seven years of imprisonment, a child must return to normal life and go to school, to mingle with other children, to meet with a new environment.
In this case, just as the family should be by the side, the state and the society should also take responsibility.
What will be the child's care system, what is his health, what is his mental condition - the concerned government institutions should come forward to see these poisons.
Psychological support, education for the child in the case of the child Co-operation and social rehabilitation can be arranged.
If we are If you really think about the future of children, then there is no chance to go to this chariot.
Children's organizations also have something to do
Such incidents have also left the children's organizations.
Our job is not to do cultural events for children, do sports or hold discussions on Children's Day. When a child is in danger, it is our duty to speak for his rights.
Children's organizations including Khelaghar can take a concerted initiative in this poison, which can be collected on the status of children with women in prisons and can be discussed with the concerned authorities regarding their education, health and mental development.
So that no child is deprived of his parents' case, it is necessary to create public opinion in that poison.
If there is a deficiency in the law and policy, the demand for amendment should also be raised strongly by the children's organizations.
A request to the court and the state
I do not want to criticize the work of judicial or law enforcement agencies.
