According to sources close to his family, he had previously suffered severe injuries to his leg after an attack allegedly carried out by activists of Jamaat-Shibir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite spending a long period in custody, it is alleged that he has not received adequate medical treatment in prison. As a result, his previous injuries have reportedly worsened, raising serious concerns about his physical condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legal experts and human rights observers say that denying bail to a seriously ill detainee raises important humanitarian and legal questions. \u201cAccess to medical treatment is not a privilege but a fundamental right for any in custody,\u201d one legal analyst noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident has fueled broader criticism of the judicial process, with allegations that legal mechanisms are being used to suppress political opposition. Critics argue that such actions undermine the principles of justice and fairness, particularly when humanitarian considerations appear to be overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Observers warn that if detainees are deprived of basic medical care and legal protections, it could erode public confidence in the justice system. They emphasize that ensuring proper treatment and fair legal processes is essential to uphold the rule of law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The case of S M Touhid Tuhin is now being seen not only as an individual ordeal but also as a reflection of wider concerns regarding human rights and judicial integrity in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Concerns over justice and human rights have intensified following allegations that a seriously ill detainee has been denied bail, sparking debate about the current state of the judicial system under&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":7318,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,20,42],"tags":[77,46,71,54,56,85],"class_list":["post-7317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime","category-news","category-politics","tag-awami-league","tag-bnp","tag-islami-chhatra-shibir","tag-jamaat-e-islami","tag-muhammad-yunus","tag-national-citizen-party-ncp"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7317"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7317\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7319,"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7317\/revisions\/7319"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
