The event, titled “Our Great Liberation War and the Constitution of Bangladesh”, was organised by the platform Mancha 71. Speaking out against the denial of constitutional safeguards to the accused, Karzon said: “We were not given the right to appoint our lawyers, nor informed of the charges in proper time. “For speaking about the Liberation War and the Constitution, they were mobbed, humiliated and then falsely accused,” said lawyer Farzana Yasmin Rakhi. `WE ARE VICTIMS`As he was being led away to prison, Karzon told reporters he feared for their lives.
