Earlier on September 25, Human rights organization Odhikar’s Secretary Adilur Rahman Khan and director ASM Nasir Uddin Elan were appealed in the High Court against the two-year rigorous imprisonment. They also asked for bail.
Earlier on September 14, Secretary of human rights organization Odhikar Adilur Rahman Khan and director ASM Nasir Uddin Elan were sentenced to two years rigorous imprisonment in the case of spreading confusion about the number of deaths in the operation to remove the leaders and activists of Hefazte Islam from Shapla Chattar in Motijheel, Dhaka. At the same time, they have been fined Tk 10,000, which in default will be another 1-month imprisonment.
The accused in the case, filed in 2013, are Adilur, the Secretary of Odhikar, and Nasir, the director of the organization.
Both of them were on bail. On May 5, 2013, Adhikar claimed that 61 people were killed in the evacuation of Hefazat Islam activists from Shapla square. However, this number is reported as 13 by the government. The Intelligence Branch (DB) of the police made a General Diary (GD) on June 10 of that year for spreading confusion about the numbers. Later it was registered as a case under the Information and Communication Technology Act.
