Paris, France; October 7, 2023: JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF) is deeply concerned and outraged over the tragic death of Nurul Islam (55), a poultry businessman, due to alleged torture by plainclothes policemen following their raid on his home in Sonargaon, Narayanganj on November 6, 2023.

committee, led by a judicial magistrate, to investigate this incident, ensuring
the highest levels of integrity and transparency in the proceedings. JMBF also
calls for exemplary punishment for the alleged culprits through a fair and
transparent trial under the Prohibition of Torture and Death in Custody Law
