Awami League says there is ‘No Rule of Law’ in Bangladesh anymore, cites Supreme Court lawyer

Awami League says there is ‘No Rule of Law’ in Bangladesh anymore, cites Supreme Court lawyer

Dhaka, Apr 29 (UNI) Bangladesh’s Awami League party has sharply criticised the deterioration of the judiciary in the country under the interim government led by Chief Advisor Mohammed Yunus, saying that there is ‘No Rule of Law’ in the country anymore, citing the statement by a Supreme Court lawyer.
In a post on its official X handle (formerly Twitter), the ex-PM Sheikh Hasina’s party cited the video of a Supreme Court lawyer, Barrister Jyotirmoy Barua, who claimed that CA Yunus was "controlling the judiciary", and that there was no protection or justice for victims of false cases.
Barua, a senior Advocate of the Supreme Court and a human rights lawyer, said: “After High Court bail, prisons call law enforcement for ‘further needs.’ Even when the bail order says ‘no other cases', they delay release. As a law student, I feel ashamed. I am exhausted after dealing with this for eight months. The injustice happening is beyond words. Public trust in the system is being destroyed,” the lawyer said.
