The High Court has granted bail to Shafiur Rahman Farabi, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in the high-profile murder case of blogger Avijit Roy. Farabi's lawyer, Muhammad Hujjatul Islam Khan, stated that the High Court accepted Farabi's appeal against the lower court's verdict in 2021. The court granted interim bail citing the absence of his name in the confessional statements of four accused, none of whom implicated Farabi. Additionally, no other witness, apart from the investigating officer, mentioned Farabi in their testimonies. Farabi himself never confessed. He has been in custody since March 3, 2015. These arguments were presented before the court, leading to the bail decision.
