Ban fatwa
A day labourer's 14-year-old daughter Hena was whipped to death after being raped recently following a fatwa passed by the Imam of a local mosque in Shariatpur. In the post-mortem report prepared by Shariatpur Sadar Hospital there was no mention of any injury marks on Hena's body. But a fresh post-mortem found severe injury marks on her body. A report was submitted to the High Court in which a huge difference between the two post-mortem reports was found. Receiving the report the HC has directed the authorities concerned to take action against them who were involved in preparing the first post-mortem report. We are grateful to the high court for this.According to the direction of the high court, the government and the authorities concerned should come forward to make people aware and take action against such unlawful fatwa.
