The BNP on Sunday expressed concern about the prolonged legal proceedings in the Pilkhana mutiny case.
A BNP delegation led by Standing Committee Member Abdul Moyeen Khan paid homage to those killed in the mutiny, at Banani graveyard in the morning.
"We have heard about the judgment in the Pilkhana carnage case, but what is the status of the judgment? Has there been any appeal in the judgment, and why has the hearing not been completed in 15 years? Furthermore, another explosives case was filed in 2011... Why is the trial in the case still lingering?" he said.
“Today we will say only one thing: every citizen of Bangladesh should get justice through good governance, through law... That is what we expect.”
On February 25, 2009, several hundred Bangladesh Rifles (now BGB) men staged an armed revolt at the Darbar Hall of the force's Pilkhana headquarters during the three-day "BDR Week.”
A total of 74 people, including 57 Army officers, were killed in the massacre beginning on this day.
The mutiny finally ended the following day with the surrender of firearms, ammunition and grenades through a negotiation between the government and the BDR rebels.
