Synopsis
Pak Sar Jamin Saad Baad, a scathing criticism about a Islamic fundamentalist group Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh.[4] On 27 February 2004, Azad came under a vicious attack by unidentified assailants following the publication,[5] which exposed the main Islamic fundamentalists in his country.[6]
In late July 2004, Azad wrote a moving letter to the Prime Minister of Bangladesh and other political leaders calling on them to restore freedom in Bangladesh and pleading for protection to himself and his family.[6] Days before Azad's departure for Munich in early August 2004, his son was briefly kidnapped by fundamentalists whose aim was to find out Azad's whereabouts.[7] Faxes had been sent to newspapers in Bangladesh threatening that he would be killed if he did not recant before September.[citation needed]
