BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir yesterday said incidents of torture and death in the custody of law enforcers must be stopped.
He said this in a statement issued yesterday on the eve of the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture.
Fakhrul expressed his deep condolences and sympathy to the oppressed and persecuted individuals, na-tions, groups, castes and linguistic communities of Bangladesh and the world.
He said for a long time, people in many countries have been oppressed by tyrannical rulers, barbaric dictators and one-party rulers.
Stating that bloodthirsty dictators around the world have destroyed the ideals of world peace, security, democracy, human liberation and progress with terrible cruelty, the BNP Secretary General said, even yesterday, violence and conflict are going on in different parts of the world over language, caste, eth-nicity and community.
Illegal powerful people are wreaking bloodshed and violence in society to spread immoral dominance, he said, adding people are being oppressed in various ways as victims of the inhuman revenge of the state.
Although the world has advanced towards mechanical civilization, human civilization has not been able to advance much, Fakhrul said.
