BNP has filed an application with the International Crimes Tribunal for the killing of 2,276 partymen in crossfire across the country and the disappearance of 153 leaders and activists from 2008 to 5 August last year.
Salauddin Khan, a member of the party's case and information committee, filed the complaint on behalf of BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir today (9 January).
According to a recent report of the Ain O Salish Kendra (ASK), a human rights organisation, at least 1,926 people were killed extrajudicially in such "gunfights" or "crossfires" in the 15 years of Awami League government.
