Fakhrul demands impartial, international probe into killings

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has demanded an international probe into the casualties of the anti-quota movement.

He alleged that the judicial investigation formed by the government is an attempt to cover up the bloodshed.

In a statement, he also demanded proper compensation for the families of those who were killed, including members of the police and Ansar, during the movement.

He, meanwhile, claimed that the law enforcers are mistreating the family members of innocent BNP men, and are vandalizing their furniture and valuables.

Fakhrul also urged the government to release the arrested leaders and workers of BNP and other opposition parties unconditionally after immediately withdrawing the politically motivated cases filed against them.

He expressed sorrow over the killings of members of the policemen and Ansar in the student movement and conveyed deep sympathy to their family members.
