The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Director General (DG) Benazir Ahmed on May 2 said that 300 of the 512 militants arrested after the Holy Artisan attack are at large after they were released on bail, reports Dhaka Tribune. He referred to the lawyers who represent militants in courts, and said: “Those who are advocating for militants can also be attacked by them. Militants have attacked lawyers on court premises in the past.” Meanwhile, Supreme Court lawyer Jyotirmoy Barua repudiated the RAB chief’s remarks, saying: “The Constitution of Bangladesh guarantees every citizen the right to justice. It is the court’s decision to grant bail, not lawyers. A person only becomes a criminal when convicted by the court. Pointing fingers at lawyers is completely unjustified. The lawyers are just fulfilling their functions by providing legal assistance to those who seek it.”
