Jalladkhana Killing field

Jalladkhana Killing Field (Bengali: জল্লাদখানা বধ্যভূমি), is a mass grave site in Mirpur, Dhaka used in the 1971 Bangladesh genocide by Pakistan Army and its local collaborators during the Bangladesh Liberation war.

The army was aided by members of local Islamist groups and non-Bengali ethnic communities in the persecution of Bengali people.

Jalladkhana was an abandoned pump house in Mirpur, Dhaka that was used as one of the killing fields.

After being detained in various parts of the city, the victims were brought to this site, beheaded and thrown into a water well and several pits dug out for mass graves.

[3][4] In 2013, Abdul Quader Molla, a leader of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, was convicted of the execution of Khandakar Abu Taleb at Jalladkhana in 1971 among five other charges of crimes against humanity,[5] and was given the capital punishment.
