State cheating

Says rights boss on secretly charging Limon

Staff Correspondent
National Human Rights Commission Chairman Prof Mizanur Rahman has demanded the withdrawal of all the cases against college student Limon Hossain, who was shot and maimed by Rab last year.
“The state has resorted to
deception to secretly and stealthily
give a charge sheet against Limon," the NHRC boss told a press conference at his office in the capital yesterday.
"The commission was, is and will be with Limon," he said, adding that the rights body would move an appeal to the government in this regard and, if necessary, wage a legal battle.
His comments came after police on July 1 secretly charged the Jhalakathi college student in a second case

for "obstructing law enforcers from discharging their duties”. Earlier in April last year, the 17-year-old was charged in an arms case.
Ironically, the investigation into the case lodged by his mother against six Rab personnel has not been completed even in 14 months.
The rights boss accused the home ministry of "noncooperation" in this regard, and said: “The home ministry is not investigating the [shooting] incident even after the commission repeatedly wrote to the ministry to do so."
Talking to The Daily Star, Limon termed "false" the cases against him.
“I appeal to the government to withdraw the cases so that I can lead a normal life not having to require appearing before the court at the cost of money and sufferings," he said.
The filing of the second charge sheet came to light on July 8, the day the case was heard in a court.
Limon's counsel s Nashimul Hasan, Manik Acharya and Akkas Shikder termed the charge sheet "unacceptable," saying it was submitted without informing the defence.
Nusrat Jahan, magistrate of the court, fixed September 2 for hearing the defence.
Limon, who is now on bail, was not present in court as he had classes at Kawkhali PGS School and Gollege.
He missed his examination last year as Rab, taking him for a criminal, shot him in the left leg on March 23, only a fortnight before the exam. Doctors had to amputate his leg from the thigh to save his life.
The technical team of Centre for Disability in Development in Savar grafted an artificial leg on him on August 29 last year.
