18. US funded military coup
 Despite the fact that American president Barack Obama has
said the US did not take sides during the recent coup against
the elected president in Egypt, US federal government
documents proves that the White House funded many
prominent Egyptian activist who have worked outspokenly to
undermine the democratic experience.
 The documents, Aljazeera said, were obtained by the
Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley. They show
that the US channelled funding through a State Department
programme to Egyptian activists and the institutions they run.
However, the US knows that its funds go to anti-democracy
activities.
 The programme is known by US officials as a "democracy
assistance" initiative. It is part of the Obama administration's
effort to try to stop the retreat of pro-Washington secularists.
They work to win back influence in Arab Spring countries after

19. Funds received from the US to Egyptian
activists
 One of the activists bankrolled is the exiled colonel in the Egyptian police, Omar Afifi
Solaiman, who served in Egypt's elite investigative police unit, notorious for human rights
abuses. He began receiving US funds in 2008 for at least four years
 that Esraa Abdel-Fatah, the 34-year old Egyptian woman who sprang to notoriety during
the country's pitched battle over the new constitution in December 2012.
She exhorted activists to lay siege to mosques and drag from pulpits all Muslim preachers
and religious figures who supported the country's proposed constitution, just before it went
to a public referendum. Abdel-Fatah's organisation got a $75,000 grant in 2011.

21. Role of Arab Rulers
 Kuwait pledged $4 billion in cash, loans and fuel, with
Saudi Arabia offering a total of $5 billion and the UAE
$3 billion.
 The DEBKA piece claims that Saudi Arabia and the
UAE offered money to the military, rather than to
protesters (as the US is accused of doing), and that
they offered to make up the shortfall if the US cut
military aid
 these states have a long-standing relationship with
the Egyptian military, and are not displeased that
Morsi has fallen. It is arguable that they see some
political gain - or at least, the elimination of a threat –
in the removal of the Muslim Brotherhood
government.

22. Zionist Plan
 Israeli ambassador calls Al-Sisi a "national hero for all
Jews“
 Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu ordered his
ministers not to make any statements regarding the coup
 The restoration of the strategic partnership that existed
between "Israel" and overthrown President Mubarak's
regime
 enhance the axis of "moderation" in the Arab world
 conflict between the supporters and opposition, & sectarian
polarisation between Sunnis and Shiites, will lower the
priority of the Arab-Israeli conflict
 "coup against Morsi will contribute to preventing "Hamas"
from aggravating "Israel" in the future
 improved the Jordanian regime's ability to face calls for
reform that may reduce its ability to continue its strategic
cooperation with "Israel“
 military rule in Egypt will contribute to restore America's
position in the region

25. 1700 Saudi intellectuals sign pro-
Morsi statement of support
 More than 1,700 Saudi intellectuals have issued a

28. Charges against JIB
 The Jamaat stood against the independence of
Bangladesh and opposed the break-up of
Pakistan.
 It collaborated with the Pakistani Army in its
operations against Bengali nationalists,
intellectuals and minority Hindus.
 Many of its leaders and activists participated in
paramilitary forces[5] that were implicated in war
crimes, such as mass murder, especially of
Hindus, rape and forced conversions of Hindus to
Islam.[6][7][8][9]
 Jamaat-e-Islami members led the formation of the
Shanti Committee, and the Razakar and Al-Badr
paramilitary forces.

The post-liberation government headed by Sheikh
Mujibur Rahman ordered an investigation to identify
war criminals. The terms of reference of that
investigation included identification of members of
Pakistani armed forces and organised bands
assisting them in the perpetration of war-crimes. It is
through that enquiry that 195 persons were identified
as war criminals.

30. Judgement against JIB Leaders
 Ghulam Azam, 1971 chief of the erstwhile East Pakistan unit of
the party;
 Current chief Matiur Rahman Nizami,
 Deputy Delwar Hossain Sayeedi,
 secretary general Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojahid;
 assistant secretary generals Muhammaad
Kamaruzzaman and Abdul Quader Molla;
 media doyen Mir Kashem Ali, who heads the pro-
Jamaat Diganta Media Corporation;
 Miah Golam Parwar;[43] and
 Abul Kalam Azad (Bachchu), an Islamic cleric
formerly associated with the party.[42]

31. Concerns for process
 Brad Adams, director of the Asia branch of Human Rights Watch, said in
November 2012: "The trials against the alleged war criminals are deeply
problematic, riddled with questions about the independence and
impartiality of the judges and fairness of the process.[93] In its November
2012 report, Human Rights Watch found that "glaring violations of fair
trial standards" became apparent during the course of 2012
 In January 2013, Brad Adams of Human Rights Watch (HRW) noted
concern about Shukho Ranjan Bali, who had first appeared as a witness
for the prosecution in the Delwar Hossain Sayeedi case. The defence
said he was due to give additional evidence in their favour on 5
November 2012. That day Bali was stopped before entering the
courthouse by several police officers; witnesses said he was taken away
in a white police van, and his family has not heard from him since. HRW
criticised the Bangladeshi government for not working to find him and for
its lack of adequate response to allegations criticising the tribunal. The
attorney general rejected the abduction claim as a fabrication by the
defence to bring the tribunal into disrepute.[59] In May 2013, Bali was
found in an Indian prison, and he alleged state abduction and that
officials told him that both he and Sayeedi would be killed.[95]
 In March 2013, the Economist made criticisms of the
tribunal, mentioning government interference, restrictions on public
discussion, not enough time allocated for the defense, the kidnapping
of a defense witness and the judge resigning due to controversy over his
