Bangladesh Government Withdraws 458 “Politically Harassing” Cases


Bangladesh government has decided to drop 458 more “politically harassing” cases including those against former Awami League Minister Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, ABM Ruhul Amin Hawlader, MP of the Jatiya Party, former AL lawmaker Ali Reza Raju and his wife, and former chairman of Prosika Dr Kazi Faruk Ahmed.

State minister for law Kamrul Islam, the head of a scrutiny committee that recommended quashing of the cases, told journalists on Thursday about the decision. The state minister said many harassment cases were filed during 2001-2007 against Awami League leaders and activists.
