The family of Felani Khatun, who was killed by Border Security Force (BSF), has given authority to human rights body Ain O Salish Kendra, to move the murder case before the Indian higher court.
“After being deprived of justice twice in BSF court, I have given the written approval to the Ain O Salish Kendra so that it can take this case to a higher court for a fair trial,” reports our Kurigram correspondent quoting Nurul Islam.
“We will put forward an application to the Indian High Commission on Wednesday or Thursday, seeking their full cooperation to start the case proceedings in the Indian higher court,” Tipu Sultan, senior deputy director of the Ain O Salish Kendra, told our correspondent.
“I did not get any justice of the killing of my daughter. Human rights have been violated as the BSF court again acquitted one of its troopers over the killing of
Felani Khatun,” he added. “I want the trial at an international court instead of BSF court. I am urging all local and international human rights groups to stand beside me so that I get justice of my daughter’s killing,” he added.
A special West Bengal court of Indian Border Security Force (BSF) has upheld its previous verdict that acquitted one of its troopers over the killing of Felani Khatun. A BSF General Security Forces court gave the verdict on July 2 after the hearing of the revision trial, our New Delhi correspondent reports.
“The court has reached the same conclusion as it did the previous time and acquitted him on the same grounds,” he reports quoting sources inside the BSF.
Fifteen-year-old Felani Khatun was shot dead by the BSF while she, along with her father, was returning home from India through Anantapur border along Phulbari upazila of Kurigram on January 7, 2011.
