Tangail, Jan 6 (bdnews24.com) – Amnesty International seeks to know from the government about the death of indigenous people's leader Chalesh Richhil. "We will ask the government to explain how Chalesh Richhil was tortured and how he died. We will seek explanations on whether investigations are on," Irene Khan, secretary general of the human rights watchdog, told reporters Sunday while visiting BRAC projects in Tangail. Khan said Amnesty International had taken up the case of Chalesh Richhil. On the trial procedure of two detained former prime ministers Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina, she said: "Not only the two leaders but every human being has the right to get justice. It is applicable for every citizen. The government has the responsibility in this regard so that people get justice." The rights leader appreciated people's efforts amid the state of emergency for the protection of human rights. "It's a great thing," she said. On the trial of war criminals, Khan said, "I talked about the matter earlier. We will urge the government to try war criminals and the trial should take place in line with the international law." Khan spoke to the women who took small loans from BRAC in Khudiram village under Korotia union of Tangail Sadar upazila. Later she visited human-rights education classes and oversaw health education activities conducted by BRAC in Jalfoi area. bdnews24.com/corr/mi/su/eh/ad/1626 hours http://www.bdnews24.com/details.php?id=34993&cid=3 Unheard Voices » Choles Ritchil After few days some of us went to meet Chalesh Ritchil asking his moral support against eco-park ....
