Description
Bangladesh releases more than 170 former Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) personnel as they were granted bail after being held in prison facilities across Bangladesh for the last 16 years. The released personnel had been acquitted of murder charges by a Dhaka court, although they still face a case filed under the Explosives Act.
Rampaging troops from the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) murdered 74 people during the two-day revolt that began in Dhaka and spread across the country in 2009, destabilising the government of then-premier Sheikh Hasina weeks after she took office. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
