They were officially released at approximately 10 PM Dhaka time on Friday September 10, at the start of the Eid Festival, which marks the end of Ramadan.
We would like to thank everyone who supported the BCWS, and contributed to the release of Kalpona, Babul, and Aminul. This is, however, only the first step towards justice for the defendants.
They still face the charges brought against them by the government of Bangladesh. Furthermore, the BCWS’s non-governmental registration has yet to be restored and the organization is still not functioning. Please stay tuned for further updates and action requests.
