I have studied Iftekhar Murtaza from 2011 onwards. He has been nothing but a wonderful person inside out since the time we met through PenPal website. I encountered him while searching for another friend on the web. If he had committed those crime I feel he should be given a second chance in life mainly because he was too young who was madly in love. Throughout the year I have seen him consistent in his behaviour as an outsider. The man he is now is nothing compared to the kid back in 2007 the time he was convicted. He has developed his skills in college and promised to be a good man which he is and I have no doubt in my mind. He is a humanitarian anything he sees that injustice and cruel he will try to get his message across. Iftekhar is from a loving family whose parents are still desperate to bring their youngest child home. He kept himself busy in prison doing college (child development), working out and socialising whenever he had the opportunity. Iftekhar has a heart of gold and all he has is LOVE for others. All I wish he be out soon and contribute his skills in the community. If Bangladesh government can make a treaty then deport him so he can live rest of his life from where he originally came from. I feel for others who are in similar position as Iftekhar who need a second chance in life, they are not serial killers, child molesters or rapist. I think serving 10-15 years is enough for a person to fix himself from the experience they have in prison. American government should look into this and give me community work and analyse their behaviour.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for taking the time to post your experiences.
DeleteYou say that you have studied him since in 2011...then you must know the atrocities that he has committed including burning an innocent family to death. Normal "young people that are madly in love" don't do that, let alone even THINK ABOUT doing that. He is simply a sociopath and I am glad to see that he is on death row. It doesn't matter that he has "changed." He has killed people and he wasn't a kid like you say, he was in his 20s which is old enough to realize that murdering someone and burning them to death is not right in any way or form. Can the people in this family that have died come back to life? No? Then why should he be given a second chance? Justice needs to be served. 10-15 years isn't enough to "fix" someone. You can't fix a lot of people. You can't "fix" a sociopath.
DeleteTo be honest it doesn't matter what you think and I don't blame you for writing what you did as UNKNOWN as you mostly get your information what is based online and visible to you. Have you studied his case Mr. Anonymous!!! There are thousands of innocent people still serving time across the state, do you have anything to say about that?? When was the last time you helped an innocent inamte other than writing negativity online. At least we are reaching out psychically, mentally and virtually to the state to help such prisonors serve prison time smoothly rather have them go more crazy in that isolated surrounding. Do you know the pain and the frustration of being locked for life and not able to see, feel touch another human/ family for some the crime they didn't committed? You can't judge a book by its cover. Get to know someone from prison as a human being. People make lot of mistakes in life and lot of crimanals are still luring outside today but not caught yet. My point is don't make a comment based on what you read without knowing that person personally or his actual case.
DeleteI am not the same as 'Unknown' but prefer to remain anonymous. I knew Iftekhar in HS and college. We were all good friends. But he killed our friend and her father. People break up, you move on. You do NOT stab someone multiple times, slit their throat, light their house on fire, light them on fire, and destroy an entire family in an effort to get your ex gf back. He was in his 20s and more than mature enough to know how wrong his actions were. It was not a moment of insanity where he snapped. It was planned and calculated. He had asked friends/others for assistance in carrying out these heinous acts. So @samiaislam, you may know Iftekhar since 2011 and the person he has become today, and how "sorry" he is, but it means nothing. He is only sorry he got caught- he tried to flee before he was arrested. Actions have consequences. Taking the lives of 2 people and almost a third, will and should cost you your own life. So as far as I'm concerned, he should not be released into this community ever again(.) A lifetime of him being in prison will never make up for his gruesome and ruthless acts on May 21, 2007. No amount of time will heal or fix what he did.
