Bangladesh, July 10 -- A Supreme Court lawyer has served a legal notice on top law enforcement officials demanding comprehensive official data on people killed in so-called "crossfire," "gunfights," "encounters" and similar operations by law enforcement agencies during the three consecutive terms of the Awami League government.
Advocate SM Zulfikar Ali, a Supreme Court lawyer and chairman of the National Lawyers Council, told the media on Thursday that he had sent the notice to five officials: the home secretary, the inspector general of police, the director general of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), the director general of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), and the Dhaka Metropolitan Police commissioner.Maps
