Police yesterday used water cannons and fired sound grenades to disperse dismissed members of Bangladesh Rifles, now Border Guard Bangladesh, and their family members after they blocked the road in front of Kakrail Mosque.
The Bangladesh government should agree to new trials that meet international standards for members of the former Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) accused of mutiny and murder, including 139 whose death sentences were upheld on November 27 by the High Court, Human Rights Watch says.
Ex-BNP lawmaker Nasiruddin Ahmed Pintu, who was serving life-term for carnage at Pilkhana headquarters of paramilitary Bangladesh Rifles force, dies of heart attack.
