A Dhaka court has rejected a remand petition for cartoonist Ahmed Kabir Kishore, one of the accused in the Digital Security Act case against late writer Mushtaq Ahmed.
Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Jashim passed the order after Barrister Jyotirmoy Barua submitted an application before the court on Sunday. In the application, the lawyer informed the court that Kishore has been “inhumanely tortured” following his arrest last year, and said steps should be taken against those responsible for the torture.
