Take action against arbitration cruelty
Arbitration adjudication is a symbol of an ancient society that still exists in Bangladesh. While many social issues may be resolved through arbitration meeting, it never establishes the rule of law. More importantly, arbitration decisions almost always favour the powerful. Even more alarming is that arbitration proceedings often turn into violence and murder. A recent example of this was seen in the Hathazari upazila of Chattogram. According to information published in the media today (3 August), a father was allegedly beaten to death during a arbitration meeting convened over the 'abduction and marriage' of his teenage daughter in Chattogram.
Ensure punishment for crimes committed by political party leaders, activists
The practice of occupying others’ property to establish party political offices has long been prevalent in Bangladesh. Numerous incidents of murder, killing, and violence have occurred over this issue. Recently, the nation witnessed yet another brutal killing of this nature. According to news reports, in an area of Narayanganj, a local office of a political party had long been set up inside an individual's personal shop. The actual owner of the shop, despite repeated requests, could not get the office removed. Eventually, when he demanded the rightful rent for the shop, he was brutally beaten to death.
