All she wants is punishment

BANGLADESH - After doctors in Bangladesh and India have failed to restore Rumana Manzur's eyesight, the Dhaka University teacher now has just one option open: waiting for a miracle. "I don't know what will happen with my eyes. Now everything depends on Allah," a crying Rumana said yesterday. She was talking to journalists at capital's LabAid Hospital, where she was readmitted on Monday after her return from India. She demanded punishment of her assaulter husband Hasan Sayeed Sumon. An assistant professor of International Relations Department at DU, Rumana sustained severe injuries as Sumon pushed his fingers into her eyes at their Dhanmondi residence in the city on June 5. After initial treatment at LabAid, she was taken to Sankara Nethralaya, an eye hospital in Chennai in India, on June 14. Later she was shifted to Arvind Eye Centre in Pondicherry. Ophthalmologists there confirmed that her left eye has gone blind permanently while the retina of the other one is not responding to her brain. "Only some miracles can bring back the vision of my daughter," her father Manzur Hossain said quoting Indian doctors. Recalling the torture by her husband, Rumana broke down into tears. "He assaulted me before my five-year-old daughter and left the room leaving me in a pool of blood. "My daughter was crying. I could not see anything at that moment. My head was hit against some furniture when I tried to get out of the room with my daughter," she said. Full Story>>
