“His body was cold like ice…”

“His body was cold like ice…” “When I went to the hospital, I saw his body covered with a blanket. His body was cold like ice… swollen. I kept asking — how did this happen? I never imagined the man would return home as a dead body.” — Wife of Ramesh Chandra Sen, former minister who died in custody. She says just days earlier, during a prison visit on the 25th, he appeared well and reassured her that he would be released after the election. But instead of returning home alive, his family was forced to receive his body from a hospital. “I thought he would come back home in good health. Instead, I had to bring back his dead body. How can a wife bear such pain?” Now she asks a question many are demanding answers to: What really happened inside custody? #Bangladesh #JailKilling #BangladeshCrisis
