The arrest and jailing of actress Nusraat Faria over an attempted murder case has turned the judicial process of the country into a mockery, said the National Citizen Party (NCP) today.

In a statement issued today, the party referred to Nusraat Faria’s recent arrest and subsequent imprisonment, and said, “NCP thinks incidents like this have turned the judicial process into a mockery.”

“We have witnessed how, earlier this month, former president Abdul Hamid, who was accused of orchestrating attacks and shootings during the July uprising, left the country without any obstacles. The identities of 626 individuals who took shelter in various military cantonments following the uprising remain undisclosed. Moreover, the fallen fascist regime and its supporters, who were directly involved in the July massacre, continue to operate freely in public spaces and on social media,” reads a statement of the party.

The NCP said the arrest and imprisonment in such a showpiece case where people were made accused sweepingly, have set a precedent of undermining the judicial process into the July massacre.

“The NCP believes that a faction within the current state structure and administration is deliberately engaging in activities to question the July killing and its judicial proceedings,” the statement added.

The NCP also demanded visible progress into the trial of the July killings by next July, urging the interim government to take immediate and appropriate measures in this regard.

The party also called upon the law enforcement agencies to remain cautious in accepting cases, taking into account the widespread misuse of cases and the growing trend of turning legal proceedings into a commercial enterprise.
