Rule of law is dead, mob violence new normal in Bangladesh: Media

Dhaka, Sep 20 (UNI) “The lack of visible legal consequences” for the heinous acts of mob lynching in Bangladesh was sending a “dangerous message” that “the rule of law is dead, and mob violence is the new normal," claimed an article in the country’s leading media outlet.
With close to two dozen citizens reportedly falling victim to mob lynching in the last 40 days after the Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus-led Interim Government took over on August 8, the signed article published in Bangladesh’s popular English newspaper Daily Star has rued that “no visible action has been taken” by the relevant authorities in response to these incidents.
“In recent weeks, Bangladesh has witnessed a terrifying surge in mob justice, exposing both the lawlessness in certain segments of society and the utter failure of the interim government to ensure basic security.
