Limon applies to ICT demanding abolish of RAB

Limon Hossain from Jhalakathi, who lost his leg after being shot by Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) officers in 2011, has filed a complaint with the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT), seeking abolish of the elite force.

He has also sought punishment to nine people which included Major General (Retd) Tarique Ahmed Siddique, security adviser to former prime minister, former military and RAB officer Ziaul Ahsan.

The complaint was filed on Tuesday (12 November) at the office of ICT Chief Prosecutor Mohammad Tajul Islam.

The shooting incident occurred on March 23, 2011, when RAB-8 members from Barishal shot Limon in Saturia village, Rajapur upazila, Jhalakathi, taking him for a notorious criminal they were looking for.
He was 16 years old at the time.

He was then picked and sent to a hospital. On the same day, RAB filed two cases against him.

Four days after the shooting, Limon's leg had to be amputated.

His mother had filed an attempted murder case with a Jhalakathi court on April 10, 2011.

Since then, Limon has pursued his education, completing his HSC in 2013, a Bachelor's degree in Law in 2018, and a Master's degree (LLM) in 2019.
