It is worth noting that during the fascist Awami League government, in rhe name of military operation on April 8, 2024, 49 innocent men and women were arrested from Bethel Para by Joined forces led by Bangladesh Army In this long-running campaign, more than a hundred Bawm men, women and children have been arrested and sent to prison in various bank robbery cases without any proof. They were transferred from Bandarban District Jail to Chittagong Central Jail in several phases. Four minor children are also still living in prison with their mothers.
They applied for bail in the court several times through their lawyers, but the court did not grant them bail. As a result, they have been forced to live an inhuman life in prison for more than a year.
After the fall of the Awami League government in the July 24th mass uprising, when an interim government was formed in the country, many notorious terrorists including convicted militants were released from prison in the country, but innocent men, women and children of the BAWM ethnicity are not being released.
