Lawyers today (17 November) staged a protest over alleged irregularities in the appointment of lawyers in the Faridpur District and Sessions Judge Court.
The protest programme, organised by a section of the District Lawyers Forum, was held at the District Bar Association building this afternoon.
The speakers alleged the list of appointments of government lawyers or counsels as PP, APP, GP, and AGP in the court included more than 10 cohorts of the previous fascist Sheikh Hasina government, which is a "betrayal of the blood of the students and people who were martyred during the July-August uprising."
