The BNP has formally lodged a complaint against the investigation agency of the International Crimes Tribunal, accusing it of failing to act on the party’s allegations. On Sunday, BNP leader Salah Uddin Khan, coordinator for enforced disappearances, killings, and data preservation, submitted the written complaint to the tribunal’s chief prosecutor. The letter claims that despite numerous complaints about enforced disappearances and killings of BNP leaders and activists over the past decade and a half under the Awami League government, no charge sheets have been filed and no suspects arrested. The BNP alleges that 2,276 of its members were killed in staged “gunfights” and that 526 of the 848 people killed during July’s mass uprising were BNP activists and supporters. Nine formal cases have been filed so far, the party said.
