The Bangladesh Awami League has strongly protested the unjust arrest of former Chief Justice ABM Khairul Haque, who delivered the Bangabandhu assassination verdict.
The party also demanded the immediate and unconditional release of Justice Khairul and all other political prisoners who have been unjustly detained.
In a statement on Saturday, the party said that the 81-year-old jurist was arrested as part of the ongoing repression by the illegitimate, usurping, murderous-fascist clique led by Yunus.
They are systematically stripping people of all classes and professions of their fundamental and human rights across the country.
Former Chief Justice Khairul Haque arrested by DB police, sent to jail in murder case
How Attorney General Asad is abusing power to justify injustice
โThe nation is witnessing how this illegal occupying regime is indiscriminately arresting and imprisoning journalists, lawyers, teachers, intellectuals, judges, government officials and employees, cultural activists, and professional leaders from all walks of life.
โThis murderous-fascist Yunus clique is conducting unprecedented acts of persecution, torture, and suppression.โ
The arrest of Justice Khairul is a glaring example that they have no intention of upholding the rule of lawโthis was done with utterly malicious intent.
โA murder case against a former Chief Justiceโwhat an absurd and outrageous accusation! The people of this country are being robbed of even the slightest confidence in the judiciary under this illegitimate, fascist government.โ
