Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch has echoed Amnesty to urge the government to protect the rights of Hasnat and Tahmid. The law enforcers yesterday finally confirmed that they were interrogating Hasnat Karim and Tahmid Hasib Khan in connection with the July 1 Gulshan terror attack. The puzzle cannot be solved without interrogation,” DMP Commissioner Asaduzzaman Miah told reporters. The rights group also called upon both the UK and Canadian authorities to press for consular access to ensure their safety and well-being. UK citizen Hasnat, a former teacher of North South University, and Canada resident Tahmid, a student of the University of Toronto, were released by the militants just before the operation.
