He also asked the Minister of the Interior and the Chief of Police to identify the culprits and give them exemplary punishment.
Lawyers held a protest outside the Bar Association building at the Supreme Court on Sunday over the arrest and torture of a lawyer named Ibrahim Khalil.
Matin Khasru joined the demonstration and said: “It cannot be tolerated that the forces of order go to the limits of the Supreme Court, arrest a lawyer and torture him.”
“It just came to our notice then. We are waiting for Ibrahim Khalil to come out. I will definitely bring a criminal case after hearing it. We will not give up. No one can cross with the hand of a lawyer.”
Addressing the Minister of the Interior and the Chief of Police, Matin Khasru said: “I would like to ask the IG and the Minister of the Interior to identify me. They suspended them and organized their trial. The police cannot be a scoundrel.”
If there were any complaints against attorney Khalil, action could have been taken under the rules, said the president of the Supreme Court Bar Association.
“Lawyers are not above the law. If you have committed a crime, you will be tried in accordance with the customary law of the country. If he had committed a crime, the police could have informed the Bar Association. The Honorable Chief Justice could have reported. You could also be arrested from your home. It was not appropriate to arrest him from the court yard. It’s arrogance, it’s an unforgivable crime. “
Former Law Minister Matin Khasru said a proposal to enact a law for the protection of lawyers would be presented to the government.
Assuring the disgruntled lawyers, he said: “I know the Interior Minister well. I will speak with him today. For one member, the image of the entire force cannot be tarnished.”
Attorney Ibrahim Khalil
On Friday, RAB-10 deputy inspector Enayet Hossain filed a case at the Chawkbazar police station alleging beatings of RAB members and obstruction of government work.
According to the case brief, Ibrahim Khalil was arrested in the Sadarghat area of the capital last Thursday night.
He was brought before the Additional Chief’s Metropolitan Magistrates Court in Dhaka on Friday after the case. There, a request was made to send Ibrahim Khalil to jail.
Meanwhile, some lawyers requested bail on behalf of Ibrahim Khalil. The court left the request for bail for hearing on Sunday and ordered that he be sent to jail.
Ibrahim Khalil spoke with other lawyers while on the court premises. So many people want to know who arrested him and whether he was tortured or not.
Many people recorded videos while talking, which went viral on Facebook on Friday.
In that video, Ibrahim Khalil denounced that last Wednesday members of the RAB picked him up from the Supreme Court facilities, took him to an unknown location and tortured him.
Ibrahim believes that the torture was caused by a third party.
The Supreme Court Bar Association has issued a statement condemning and protesting the incident.
The statement called for the release and investigation of Ibrahim Khalil and action against those responsible.
In the statement, Ruhul Quddus Kajal, secretary of the association, said: “Ibrahim Khalil has been detained in an unknown location and tortured and sent to jail on false charges and conspiracy. The charges against him are ridiculous. “
Ruhul Quddus Kajal told bdnews24.com: “Ibrahim Khalil has informed me that he has been released on bail today.”
