Bangladesh's High Court has made a significant decision by acquitting former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia's son, Tarique Rahman, and 48 others in connection with a deadly 2004 grenade attack on a political rally. The attack, which targeted a rally held by supporters of then-opposition leader Sheikh Hasina, resulted in the deaths of two dozen people and left around 300 others injured.
The 2018 verdict that found Rahman and the others guilty has been overturned by a two-member judge panel following an appeal lodged by the defendants. The defense lawyer declared the trial and verdict as 'illegal,' leading to the acquittal of all 49 men involved in the case.
