Amir Hamza should be sentenced to death under Sharia law: Rashed Khan

In the video message, Rashed Khan said that two students of Islamic University sent him an audio-video of Amir Hamza for verification; he himself verified its authenticity and published it on social media. After that, leaders and activists of Jamaat and Chhatra Shibir made about 200 videos claiming that the voice in the audio is not Amir Hamza's, but was created with AI. However, he claimed that an investigation by a private fact-checking organization named ‘The Decent’ confirmed that the voice in the audio is not AI-generated.

Criticizing Amir Hamza for swearing with the Holy Quran in front of him at a waz mahfil, Rashed alleged that without admitting his own mistake, Amir Hamza lied by swearing in the name of Allah with the Quran in front. His allegation is that Jamaat, instead of admitting its mistakes, tries to prove its critics liars. Even before the national election, Jamaat Amir Dr. Shafiqur Rahman was aware of the allegations, and Amir Hamza was called to the central office and discussions were held; but since the matter did not come out publicly, he was given nomination, he claimed.

Rashed Khan further said that after allegations were raised against a Member of Parliament, the Prime Minister ordered him to resign and he resigned. But regarding Amir Hamza or Gazi Nazrul Islam, Dr. Shafiqur Rahman did not order any investigation or resignation—through this he is giving shelter and patronage to the accused, Rashed alleged. He also claimed as true the allegation of a meeting between Jamaat leader Mia Golam Parwar and an Indian intelligence officer.

Finally, Rashed said that if Jamaat believes in implementing Sharia law, it should clarify whether it will apply that law against Amir Hamza. Under Sharia law, it should be ensured that he is stoned to death—he raised the question whether Jamaat will do that. According to him, these incidents have proven that Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh is not safe for women.
