5 jailed without trial for 12-years get bail

Staff Correspondent: Five people including an indigenous youth who were in prison for over 12 years without trial have got bail from High Court.

 

The HC bench of Justices Md Nuruzzaman and SH Md Nurul Huda Jaigirdar granted their bail on Thursday.

 

The five prisoners who got bail are Liton, a Garo youth of Netrokona, Rasel Sheikh of Kushtia, Masud of Dhaka's Motijheel, Babu of Gazipur's Board Bazar and Parvez of Brahmanbaria.

 

The court did not accept bail to two other prisoners and ordered to complete their trails within next 3 months. They are Saidur Rahman of Badda and Rajib Hossain of Keraniganj.

 

Earlier in the morning, authorities of Kashimpur Jail produced the seven prisoners before the High Court following a rule issued on 15 December.

 

The HC issued the rule after a private television channel aired a report on the seven who were in Kashimpur Jail for over 12 years without trial in various cases.
