Bangladesh: Death sentences for former police officers are not the answer to Abu Sayed killing

Responding to the death sentences handed down today, to two former police officers by the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) for the killing of Abu Sayed during student-led protests in July 2024, Rehab Mahamoor, Amnesty International’s Regional Researcher and Campaigner, said:

“Abu Sayed and the many other victims of police violence during the July 2024 protests deserve justice and accountability. However, the death penalty has no place in any courtroom. It’s the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment and its continued use by the ICT undermines efforts to deliver a just and lasting reconciliation to Bangladesh.

“In the past, Amnesty International and several other human rights organizations have also raised serious concerns that the ICT has not observed international fair trial and due process standards in many instances. Any proceedings undertaken by the ICT demand stringently impartial and transparent judicial proceedings.

The death penalty has no place in any courtroom

Rehab Mahamoor, Amnesty International’s Regional Researcher and Campaigner

“We urge the Bangladeshi authorities to take steps to establish a moratorium on the use of the death penalty, with a view to completely abolishing the punishment.”

Background

The ICT today handed death sentences to former assistant sub-inspector Amir Hossain and ex-constable Sujan Chandra Roy for their role in the killing of Abu Sayed, a student at Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur, during the July 2024 uprising. A further 28 former officers were also given prison sentences, including three who were sentenced to life in prison.

In July 2024, Amnesty International verified evidence of unlawful use of lethal and less lethal weapons by Bangladeshi authorities against student protesters including the killing of Abu Sayed, and called for accountability without recourse to death penalty.

Amnesty International opposes the death penalty in all cases, without exception as it violates the right to life enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
