Sheikh Hasina vows ‘no mercy, full justice’ for jail killings and nationwide atrocities 

In a gut-wrenching virtual programme titled “Daymukti—Episode 56,” Awami League President and exiled Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina declared an uncompromising war against what she called the “Yunus-led fascist killing machine,” promising that every murder, every torture, and every act of minority persecution will be accounted for the day she returns.

Speaking directly to five devastated families who lost loved ones in jail custody or staged “suicides,” Sheikh Hasina’s voice shook with controlled fury: “I am keeping the name, address, and crime of every single perpetrator. The day we return—and that day is not far—we will take full accounts. Not one murderer will escape. I give you my word.”

The programme turned into a national courtroom of tears as family members recounted systematic custodial killings:

– Dhaka North City Councillor and freedom fighter Murad Hossain was shackled with iron rods on swollen legs, denied dialysis despite kidney creatinine hitting 5.5, and deliberately poisoned through prison food until he died in Kashimpur High-Security Jail on November 28.

– Gaibandha leader Tarique Rifat suffered two heart attacks after being rearrested at the jail gate moments after receiving bail; he was tied to a hospital bed with ropes and denied transfer to Dhaka for an angiogram. He died on November 23.

– Lakshmipur Chhatra League General Secretary Alamin Hossain Rayhan was tracked by phone to his Bashundhara flat, murdered, and then hanged with knees still touching the floor in a staged suicide. The family says the suicide note was forged.

Sheikh Hasina responded: “These are not suicides and not natural deaths—these are cold-blooded murders dressed up by a regime that has mastered forgery. Every night on Daymukti, I hear these heartbreaking stories. But I promise you: the same hands that tied ropes around your sons’ necks will one day be in handcuffs.”

Comilla Mahila Awami League leader Sadia Hossain described how BNP men beat her with bamboo sticks and tried to hang her upside down simply because she refused to accept Tarique Rahman’s election leaflet and shouted “Joy Bangla.” When her elderly father tried to save her, he was hacked with a ram-da and left bleeding. The attackers later stormed the hospital to finish the job.

Sheikh Hasina, visibly enraged, told her: “Never speak to these uncivilised beasts again. They have no manners, no respect for elders, and no humanity. Your treatment and your father’s angiogram—I am arranging everything personally.”

In her closing address, Sheikh Hasina painted a grim picture of a Bangladesh sliding into anarchy under the Yunus administration:

– Factories shut, millions jobless, farmers denied fertiliser 

– Tk3 lakh crore in bank loans declared wilful default in just months 

– Daily extortion from launch ghats to crop fields 

– Systematic persecution of Hindus, Christians, Ahmadis, Bauls and cultural activists

Yet her final message was one of iron resolve: “I lost my father, mother, brothers, everything in one night. I know what it is to live with emptiness. But I also know Allah has kept me alive again and again for a reason. The same Allah who saved me on August 21, 2004, and again on August 5, 2024, will bring us back. 

“When that day comes, we will not just rebuild roads and bridges—we will rebuild justice. Every drop of blood that has fallen since August will be answered for. 

“Hold on a little longer. The dawn is closer than they think.”

The fight, Sheikh Hasina made clear, has only just begun.
