Bangladesh Judiciary

A misguided approach to justice

Concerns about judges must follow due process

We need concrete actions, not mere acknowledgements, to keep the judiciary free of corruption and interference.

Apex court hamstrung by a judge crisis

Appointing more judges key to clearing huge case backlogs

Trial drags on for 24 years: Man has no strength left for legal battle
