From unlawful arbitration to murder: State must set example of justice

A 15-year-old girl from Narsingdi displayed remarkable bravery by pursuing justice for her rape. Tragically, her life was abruptly ended while she sought that justice. Allegations state that she was abducted in public while attempting to reach safety with her father, and her lifeless body was discovered the following day. This incident transcends mere murder; it highlights a profound crisis within our law enforcement, human rights safeguards, and social justice systems. When an individual striving for justice loses their life, it raises a critical question – does the legal framework of the state truly provide a secure environment for its citizens?
