Attorney General Mohammad Asaduzzaman has said that ongoing trials for crimes against humanity are being conducted with the sole aim of ensuring justice, not targeting individuals.

“What matters to the law is the crime and its nature, not the person,” he stressed. He also claimed that in the past 17 years, the Awami League government was responsible for over 700 enforced disappearances and 4,500 extrajudicial killings, along with widespread harassment through fabricated cases.

However, he noted improvements in law and order over the past year, stating that no disappearances or politically motivated cases had been reported during this period.
