The brutal attack on Rahat Hossain in Sylhet, where his tendons were deliberately cut, must be condemned in the strongest terms. This kind of calculated cruelty has no place in a society that aspires to democracy and the rule of law.
Such violence is not just an assault on one individual but an assault on civic life itself. Bangladesh must act decisively by ensuring swift investigations, strict accountability, and exemplary punishment for those who commit these crimes.
Failure to respond with firmness will only embolden attackers and deepen a culture of fear and lawlessness.
