The rule of law in Bangladesh has been obliterated, shredded into a nightmarish mockery of justice. The government doesn’t just manipulate the judiciary—it has transformed the legal system into a weaponized instrument of terror, systematically silencing lawyers, persecuting minorities, and crushing any semblance of legal resistance.
No one expects any rule of law from this fascist, authoritarian, and unconstitutional government—a regime so drink on power that it no longer even pretends law exists in the country. The acquittal of the 21 August grenade attack perpetrators—despite damning confessions and irrefutable evidence publicly available online—stands as a grotesque testament to this judicial perversion.
In the Chinmoy Das case, seventy Hindu lawyers in Chittagong were systematically framed with false cases to prevent them from mounting a defense. When lawyers from Dhaka attempted to intervene, Jamat-BNP goons publicly threatened violence against any legal representative.
Consequently, bail hearings were strategically postponed because no one was permitted to submit a bail application. Cultural activist Shariar Kabir is not only facing multiple fabricated charges but has been denied divisional status in prison—in direct violation of court orders. Examples are countless.
The regime’s hollow claim that “anyone can file cases and legally, we cannot stop them” is the biggest barefaced scam ever. If this were true, why have thousands of Awami League supporters and minority victims been unable to file a single case?
Bangladesh’s justice system was never pristine, but transforming the legal system into a Kafkaesque instrument of political persecution is unprecedented—not just in Bangladesh, but arguably in any modern legal system. This is raw, unadulterated authoritarianism: justice perverted, law weaponized, human rights eviscerated.
