We want those involved in the killings to be put on trial," said BNP Vice-Chairman Abdullah Al Noman while speaking at a discussion at the National Press Club in Dhaka on Monday. He said: "We think a judicial probe body, headed by an Appellate Division judge, should be formed to investigate these killings." Noman said the family members of those subjected to extrajudicial killings would not get justice if the investigation was done by magistrates or the administration. BNP leader Noman on Monday said human rights bodies at home and abroad had become vocal against the extrajudicial killings urging the government to stop it. Under the circumstances, he said, BNP must intensify the party's movement to have Khaleda freed from jail.
