"The killers in the anti-fascist
movement will be tried in a transparent, impartial and credible manner following the due process of law," Rahman said in a brief address while unveiling the museum's plaque. "Justice for every crime is essential to ensure rule of law" Rahman said as the Interim government chief Muhammad Yunus stood beside him.
