The family members of those killed during the BDR mutiny in Dhaka’s Pilkhana 15 years ago say they are going to the International Crimes Tribunal, or ICT, to seek ‘proper justice’ for their killings.
Advocate Saquib Rahman, son of victim colonel Quadrat Elahi Rahman Shafique, said he would file a complaint with the ICT within the next two weeks to uncover the ‘true’ facts of the killings and ensure the trial of the “behind-the-scenes conspirators,” reports bdnews24.com
The demand was made at a media briefing held at Raowa Hall in Dhaka’s Mohakhali on Thursday, seeking ‘justice for the deaths of 74 people, including 57 officers, in Pilkhana and Martyred Army Day’.
The bloody mutiny at the BGB Headquarters in Pilkhana occurred on Feb 25 and 26, 2009, causing a stir in the global arena.
