The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has submitted a new complaint to the International Crimes Tribunal, alleging enforced disappearances and killings of its leaders and activists between 2008 and August 5, 2024, during the Awami League’s tenure. The complaint was lodged on Monday afternoon by Salahuddin Khan, a central executive member of the BNP and coordinator for case and information preservation, to Chief Prosecutor Aminul Islam.

According to the complaint, BNP and its affiliated organizations faced systematic repression, with members allegedly abducted, tortured, and killed under the guise of crossfire operations. The document claims that 2,276 people were killed in such incidents, including 1,776 BNP activists. The party had earlier submitted a 243-page complaint with supporting evidence to the then Chief Prosecutor Mohammad Tajul Islam on January 8, 2025, but no visible progress has been made despite repeated written reminders.

The BNP reiterated its demand for a fair investigation and prosecution of those responsible, stating that families of the victims are still waiting for justice.
