Paris, France | 17 November 2025: JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF) expresses profound concern and outrage over the orders issued on 16 November by Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Sheikh Md. Sajjad Ali and, on 11 November, by Chittagong Metropolitan Police (CMP) Commissioner Hasib Aziz to “shoot on sight,” “fire in brushfire mode,” and use lethal weapons by patrol teams.

These directives are not only reckless, threatening, and legally indefensible but also represent a deliberate misuse of state power and a blatant violation of both international human rights law and the Constitution of Bangladesh.
