• The Civic group warns special tribunal could delay trials, infringe judicial independence.

Seoul, Sept. 5.– People’s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy has called for a cautious approach to the Democratic Party’s push to establish a special tribunal for insurrection cases. 

They argue that, given the current situation where the first trial of the insurrection case has significantly progressed, pushing for a special tribunal could instead lead to trial delays.

In a commentary released on the 4th, People’s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy pointed out: “At this point, if legislation is enacted to change the trial court, trial delays are inevitable due to legislative procedures and trial renewal processes.” 

Dhaka, Aug.31.– Academics, researchers, and activists on Saturday said that institutional and legal reforms in the post-uprising era would not sustain unless the political parties institutionalise participatory democracy with youth engagement.

They made the remarks while addressing the Bengal Delta Conference 2025 organised by a Dhaka-based think tank, Dacca Institute of Research and Analytics, at a hotel in the capital.
