Public lynching: Maltreat bears the legacy of past

Utpal Dutta, Editorial Assistant, The New York Times, Bangladesh National Section : 
Every society in the past has seen to shape, practice of extrajudicial punishment including murder called ‘lynching’. Lynching is an alleged offence without a legal trial, especially by hanging that has had its long-held evidence almost in all society or state around the world. It seems the inclination for preconception is almost a prehistoric portraying group violence that came into sight recently in Bangladesh.
This year from January to June, 2018 about 44 people were injured and nearly 22 people were reportedly killed on account of public lynching in a total 36 incidents, demonstrates Human Resources Society, HRSS.
To simplify ‘lynching’ is the practice of murder, killing in other words by extrajudicial action featuring an extreme form of violence by an informal group.
In different corners of Bangladesh a shocking, frightful figure of people are killed in public lynching. Impaired respect for law, mistrust or suspicion on the existing security forces leads to develop this trends, well described by Human Rights Support society, HRSS.
People are found to be shouldering law from fear that they will be deprived of justice either. This syndrome eventually results in the incidents of public lynching that increased later on. Until and unless proven as guilty by the court everyone has right to be treated as innocent or blameless, believes human rights defenders.
Lynching is considered an extra-legal trial and punishment by an informal group. Lynching is mostly used to trait informal public executions by a crowd.
Lynching take place frequently in times of social and economic tension that has often been a means for a dominant group to overturn the rivals.
Nonetheless, it has also resulted from long-held prejudices and practices of discrimination that have conditioned societies to accept this mal practice as normal practices of popular justice.
Racial oppression and the frontier mentality in the United States have given lynching its current familiar face.
The phenomenon is not exclusive to North America, but it is also found around the world. Indeed, instances of it can be found in society dates long before European settlement of North America.
And now for Bangladesh over the last few years the people being failed to trust the law enforcement agency, LEA, from fear of being deprived of justice clutches the age long prejudices violently that thrust the human rights, anticipate the human rights defender.
