AFM Sayed, the mastermind behind the incident of taking the bodies in a van and setting them on fire after killing 46 people during the student movement in Ashulia, has been arrested.

He will appear before the International Tribunal on Thursday (October 31).

Earlier, he was arrested from Cox's Bazar and sent to Dhaka on Wednesday (October 30) night. Sayed is currently kept in Shahbag police station.

Until now police officer AFM Sayed had been hiding from the fear of arrest. He was known as a close man of former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal. Sayed resorted to various tricks to avoid his responsibility in this incident, but the end was not saved.

The Awami League government fell due to the resignation and departure of Sheikh Hasina on August 5. Later that afternoon, several videos of more bodies being removed from a pile of dead bodies in Ashulia and then burnt, caused an uproar across the country.

Volker Turk, head of the UN Human Rights Commission, has said that all killings, including police killings and mob justice, before and after the popular uprising in Bangladesh should be tried fairly.

He made this comment at a press conference at the prestigious Intercontinental Hotel in the capital at 6 pm on Wednesday (October 30).

He said that the criminals should be brought to justice through the formation of a commission. An investigation is required to prosecute any killing. In this regard, our goal is to help Bangladesh. Our job is to fully support this change in Bangladesh. We have full confidence in the new government; they can do everything if they get everyone's support.

Regarding the current human rights situation in Bangladesh, Volker Turk said that human rights have changed a lot since the previous period. Bangladesh is going through a change. We will provide all kinds of assistance to improve the human rights situation.

Regarding attacks on minorities, he said that the issues of atrocities on religious minorities should be thoroughly examined. Everything will come under our investigation. We are interested in opening an office in Dhaka to support Bangladesh in the changing situation.

Regarding the help for the Rohingyas, the head of the UN Human Rights Commission said, "We are asked for a lot of help from all over the world, like Bangladesh. We have many examples. Although it is difficult to help the Rohingyas, we are helping."

The interim government has requested to remove Saima Wazed Putul, daughter of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, from the World Health Organization due to allegations of corruption.

Apurba Jahangir, Deputy Press Secretary to the Chief Adviser, said this at a press briefing organized on contemporary issues at the Foreign Service Academy in the capital on Wednesday (October 30).

He said, Saima Wazed Putul, the current Regional Director for Southeast Asia, is dysfunctional for us. A case has been filed against her on charges of criminal offences and financial crimes, due to which the World Health Organization has been informed not to communicate through her.

He also said that the Bangladesh government has sent a letter to the World Health Organization. The letter mentioned that Bangladesh can communicate directly with the World Health Organization and not through the regional director.

He also said that the government has requested the World Health Organization to take action against Saima Wazed Putul. In this regard, Shafiqul Alam, the press secretary of the chief adviser, said, "We have also asked the World Health Organization to inform us about the measures being taken in this regard." Earlier, in November last year, Saima Wazed was elected as the director of the World Health Organization (WHO) South-East Asia Region. The election was held at the WHO regional conference held in New Delhi, India. She will serve for a period of five years.
