The Bangladesh Judicial Service Association (BJSA) has withdrawn its previously announced pen-down strike following assurances from the government to meet their two key demands: immediate deployment of adequate security forces at all courts, judges’ residences, and during their commutes. BJSA President Amirul Islam confirmed the decision after a productive discussion with the legal adviser, who promised to address the concerns. The association had earlier announced the strike in response to the murder of a judge’s son in Rajshahi and alleged negligence in ensuring judicial security. As part of their ongoing protest, judges across the country will wear black badges and hold prayer sessions in all courts on Sunday to mourn the incident. The BJSA had warned of a nationwide work stoppage if the demands were not met within 48 hours. The Rajshahi murder case involves Limon Mia, who allegedly stabbed and killed the 15-year-old son of Judge Mohammad Abdur Rahman and injured the judge’s wife.
