Dear Honorable Minister,

Greetings from JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF)

I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to you on behalf of JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF), a human rights organization deeply concerned about a recent incident of police brutality in Narayanganj, Bangladesh.

According to a news report published on August 25, 2023, on the online news portal www.narayanganjtimes.com, a student leader by the name of Ashraful Islam Babu was subjected to physical assault by a police team led by ASI Labu on August 16, 2023. The incident transpired at a checkpoint in Sonadanga, Narayanganj, where the police officers allegedly demanded a bribe of Tk. 2 lakh from Mr. Babu. When Mr. Babu refused to comply, the police officers resorted to violence, assaulting him with a rifle butt and a baton.

The CCBE places great emphasis on respect for human rights and the rule of law and is particularly concerned with the situation of human rights defenders around the world.

The CCBE would like to reiterate its serious concern over the death threats against lawyer Shahanur Islam.

According to information we have received, following our letter of early October expressing our concerns about the safety of lawyer Shahanur Islam, we understand that the threats against him have intensified due to his continuous work as a lawyer in defence of human rights.
