Introduction
Legal Assistance to Helpless Prisoners And Persons (LAHP) is a bureaucratic nonprofit
and nonpolitical organization, which was established in the year 2009 with the philosophy
is to provide aid to the Poor and Helpless prisoner’s in the Court of Law. This is to act
as the contribution for the betterment of the society along with the National Legal Aid
Program of the government. Effective access to justice is not available to the poor.
Constitutional guarantees of human rights, freedom, equality, justice and the equal rule
of law is available for the citizens and it is clearly mentioned in Article 27. Before law and
equal protection of law to all citizens and person remain meaningless for vast majority
of persons since they live below the poverty line and consequently have little or no
access to justice. There is obviously an evident need for a legal aid scheme that would
eventually meet the needs of the poor and create confidence of citizens in the rule of
law and democratic process. The present improvised, adhoc and in the line national
perspective, quite inadequate private efforts in the fi eld inescapably point to the need
for a national institutional effort for providing free legal services.
We are passing every single day with an ever-accelerating pace of the technological
improvement. In simple words we call it the 21st century, a time that only focuses on
the segment for ‘INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY’. The more an individual or an
organization is updated the better it will perform. It could be on anything starting from
policy making, strategic plans, management and co-ordination, program, implementation
or benefi ciary selection, etc. Although the government has provided the system with
the facilities for the helpless prisoners to obtain legal assistance, but due to not being
able to collect proper information regarding the issue, we often fi nd the prisoners serving
prison for what he/she is not liable for. It has been found that the information about
the LEGAL AID for the prisoners has no form of system maintained, to keep the public
informed, and so accordingly there are prisoners serving for years doing nothing but
letting their lives to head towards despair. Such lives lead to mental instability, which is
very natural because it only comes from depression. Not only that but also the condition
even lead the prisoners choose a life that will contribute the society with all the possible
negative trials it may require.
Reaching the law and justice system has always been a challenge for the majority of
the population as the governance towards it has been extremely weak and vulnerable.
As a consequence, obtaining a fair trial in case of the court proceedings seems very
restricted. Because of the outdated colonial laws, the judicial segment couldn’t cope
up with time along with the poor fi nancial structure and human resources. The ones
who require the cooperation of the judicial body are often found to be spending more
than they are required to. Of course, again it is because they are not aware of the right
information and their deserving rights as citizens. As a result, there comes a point where
they tend to loose complete interests or the poor system on the other hand stores a
huge amount of backlog of cases. Majority of the population is not aware of the long
detentions without conviction and fair trial, which may constitute a serious violation in
human rights law.

Case story of Sheikh Mohammad Polash Miah
Panel Lawyer: Adv. Md. Abu Yousuf
District: Brahmanbaria
In 6 December, 2016 a feature was published. In the daily star under the headline “
Mentally ill man languishes in Jail”. From that news headline a panel lawyer of
Brahmanbaria came to know about sheikh Md. Polash Mia, who is a mentally ill
person and has been framed for the riot happened in Nasirnagar Hindu area. After
that occurrence the team of LAHP went to Nasirnagar, Brahmanbaria and fi nd out
that man, Sheikh Md. Polash Miah and did a case story on him.
After investigation we came to know that Polash Miah is a mentally ill and poor
person. For his illness he always been captured in home. His father Ohid Miah is a
70 years old ill man and he earns his bread and butter by day labouring. There are
six members in his family. As he is a day labour so it’s very hard for him to maintain
his family and in this condition he can’t afford a lawyer for his son’s case. He borrowed
some money from his relatives and that money has already in the initiate
stage of the case and now nothing left to him. Basically he (Ohid Miah) even don’t
know with his mentally ill son. what to do or where to go to solve the case or how to
hire a lawyer for the case.
31 years old Polash Miah has been arrested on 7 October, 2016 from his home dathmondol.
A facebook post related with an issue which goes against Islam and by
centralizing it an occurrence took place in Nasirnagar, hindu area and in accordance
with Polash Miah has framed for rioting in houses and temples and for that
reason has been arrested and took him to the jail.
Mentally ill Polash Miah has been transferred to the Comilla Central Jail in 18 November,
2016 when his mental condition has degraded. There his treatment was
done under the authorization of the Jail authority. It has been mentioned in the
general diary that, a boy named Rashraj Das (30) son of Jogonnatgh Das, Village-
Horinber, Horipur Union, Thana- Nasignagar, District: Brahmanbaria has been
posted in his facebook a mockery post relating “Kaba Sharif”. By centralizing this
issue Ahle Sunnahtul Jamayet, Bangladeshi Islami Font and Gausia Jubo Songhoton
and all the Muslim people of Nasirnagar Thana and the neighbouring thana
Sorail and the other villages under these two thana, there took place an assembly
11

near Nasirnagar College turning point and Nasirnagar High School Ground from
10:am to 2:30 pm. In every point of the assembly there gathered approximately
2500/3000 people. The occurrence basically happened during the assembly when
everyone was busy in protesting the post of facebook, while doing so some disrestraine
people came and start making nuisance over there, not only that but also
they wrongfully entered into the temple and start destroying the idols which is contempt
of religion as well as it hurts the feeling of religious. The losses of such destruction
of idol is not less than fi fty thousand (50000) and they also ravage the
decoration and other equipments which cost thirty thousand taka (30000).
It is also mentioned in general diary that unrestrained people also tried to wrongfully
and forcefully entered into the house of the server of the temple but when the
police tried to restrain them they become more furious and burst into the police
and started throwing stone, paddle and the piece of bricks and came with the
sticks towards the police. After that police started to charge the sticks and threw
rubber bullet and After 30 minutes of their attempt the police fi nally can controlled
the aggrieved people.
Police has arrested so many people randomly from that crowd and framed them
into this case and Sheikh Polash Miah was there in that list. As we have mentioned
above he is a mentally ill man and he has no connection with this occurrence still
he has been framed into this case. Not only that but also it has been mentioned in
the police list that there have enough evidence against Polash Miah that he has
direct involvement into that occurrence and if he came out in bail he might cause
damage and a threat for the case. But for a mentally pure person like Polash Miah,
it is impossible to involve in such a case. So after investigating and justifying about
Polash Miah it has been cleared that he is a mentally disabled and a innocent
person. And he is a real helpless and poor person. After that by proving him innocent
Adv. Mohammad Abu Yousuf, Panel Lawyer of Brahmanbaria district has
bailed him out at 13/03/2017 that means after 4 months and 8 days of his arrest.
Finally he has set free from the dark and horrifi c imprisonment

Panel Lawyer: Md. Moniruzzaman Khan
Helplessly, acquitted truck helper Suruj Miah had suffered imprisonment for 13
years. One of the panel lawyer of Legal Assistance To Helpless Prisoners and Person
(LAHP) Adv. Md. Moniruzzaman has bailed out this helpless prisoner after 13 years
of imprisonment.
The truck was fully loaded while it was on its way to the assigned destination. On
the way to Dhanmondi Thana, the police confi ned the truck and after that they
investigated the truck. After investigation the police had found drugs or drugs
related products inside the truck and Dhanmondi Thana police arrested Suruj Miah,
the helper of the truck.
After arresting him Dhanmondi Thana Police fi led a case under Special Power Act,
1970 and he was then send to the jail.
Truck helper Suruj Miah had no idea about how the drugs reached his truck. There
was also no one available from his side. He had suffered imprisonment for 13 years

After 13 years of imprisonment, the panel lawyer of the Legal Assistance To Helpless
Prisoners and Persons (LAHP) came to know about the accused.
A ordinary but real helpless person have been lost 13 years old for false case. After
losing an unusually long period of time how can a person live or survive? After
losing valuable 13 years, how can fi ght Suruj Miah against the reality of life? Can we
repay those valuable moments which he could be used for the race of his life?
No, actually no one can.
Though LAHP couldn’t return those 13 years of his life but LAHP has able to overcome
from that false & fabricated allegation. By bailing him successfully the accused set
free from the allegation and could able to lead a normal life in the society. Not only
that but also LAHP helped him by giving the opportunity of employment.

Panel Lawyer: Adv. Sharmin Jahan Shimu
Kodomtoli situated on the south part of the map Daniya, Md. Khokon (60), son of Yaseen

its inception on 15/09/16 LAHP the Dhaka Bar Panel lawyers Sharmin Jahan Shimu has
helped and released on bail two of defenseless prisoners of the ten recorded. The reason for
the attacks and hijacking attacks at the end of the case was fi led. A total of 10 accused in
the case as the charge was fi led.
As it was mentioned in the complaint fi led that at 11:40 am when Johnny (18) son of Md.
Khokon, got out of the house heading towards Shonir Akhra. At around 12 noon Daniya cemeteries
Kadamtali under way as Johnny proceeded, he was attacked and was hit by iron rods
carried out by the group they held the enmity against his father. After that Johnny was
stepped on with the motive to be more injured even after being already injured and was
profusely bleeding.
As mentioned in the charge sheet, Sohail (18) and Rasel Sikder (18) with a knife, wounded
Johnny fl ed away with all the money (20000 taka) he had in his pocket. Later, local people
took Johnny’s injured body to Dhaka Medical College Hospital in Dhaka.
As it was mentioned, in the charge sheet there were 10 accused and among them accused
no.9 named Kajol and accused no.10 named Anik has no specifi cally with proper attention
allegation.
On the basis of charge sheet among the 10 accused, accused no.9 Kajol, who was basically
a day laborer got arrested by police near from the Daniya cemeteries Kadamtali, when he
was returning from his day-to-day working place to home at 10:30 pm. Police also arrested
accused no.10 Kajol, who was also a day laborer and returning from his working place to his
home. Both of them didn’t know anything about the fact of the case which they were alleged
for.
Later they were sentenced for the allegation. But they were incapable of seeking justice due
to their fi nancially insolvency, destitution, helplessness and there was no one who can stand
by them. For that reason they had to spend 2 years 17 days behind the prison bars. After that
long term imprisonment, the panel lawyer of LAHP, Adv. Sharmin Jahan Shimu came to know
about their situation and she was able to bail both of them out successfully.
Only because of the insolvency, destitution and helplessness two innocent people have lost
2 years 17 days from their lives just like that. Though LAHP can not compensate those valuable
times of their lives by any means hence other innocent and deprived lives like Kajol and
Anik can be rescued from the darken nights spent in the prison cells and so help them able
to lead a normal life. The aim of LAHP is to help improving the society and consequently
represent the country in a better and standard form.
