Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK) expresses deep concern and strongly condemns the incident of flogging and the imposition of fines in the name of a salish (informal arbitration) that took place on 26 November 2025 in Ward No. 9 of Burirchar Union, Hatiya Upazila, Noakhali.<\/p>\n
According to reports published in the media, following a dispute over the use of loudspeakers during a wedding ceremony, several influential individuals in the village publicly assaulted members of both the bride\u2019s and groom\u2019s families. Under the guise of a salish, each victim was subjected to 15 lashes. In addition, a fine of BDT 30,000 (thirty thousand) was imposed and when the groom\u2019s family failed to pay the amount, their auto-rickshaw was seized. These actions are entirely illegal, unlawful and unacceptable.<\/p>\n
ASK firmly states that no individual, local salish, or informal authority has the legal mandate to impose corporal punishment or monetary fines. Articles 31, 32 and 35(5) of the Constitution of Bangladesh guarantee the right to protection under the law, personal liberty and freedom from cruel, inhuman, or degrading punishment. Any form of physical abuse, forced fines, or coercive seizure of property constitutes a direct violation of constitutional protections and existing laws. It is noteworthy that the High Court of Bangladesh has, through multiple judgments, clearly declared that village salish or any non-judicial body has no authority to impose physical punishment or fines and that all such practices are illegal and unconstitutional.<\/p>\n
ASK strongly urges the authorities to conduct an immediate, impartial and effective investigation into the incident and to take appropriate legal action against all those involved. At the same time, the State must ensure the safety of the affected families and provide remedies for the violence, humiliation and rights violations they have suffered. ASK calls upon the local administration to take strict and effective measures, in line with High Court directives, to prevent illegal salish, corporal punishment and forced fines, so that no individual or group dares to engage in such unlawful practices in the future.<\/p>\n
