 The Mothers’ Cry for Justice After the 2009 BDR Genocide

A movement of mothers and families seeking truth, justice, and accountability for the mass killing and wrongful punishment of BDR members in 2009.

---

📌 Overview

BDR-er Mayer Dak is a humanitarian and justice-seeking platform formed by the mothers, wives, and family members of Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) personnel who were systematically tortured, executed without trial, disappeared, or wrongfully imprisoned during and after the 2009 BDR massacre at Pilkhana, Dhaka.

We call it what it was:

🟥 The 2009 BDR Genocide

• Over 6,000 soldiers accused without individual investigation

• More than 70 BDR members died in custody—many under brutal torture

• Mass trials held in violation of due process

• Thousands sentenced after forced confessions

• Families denied information, access, or justice

🕯️ Our Loved Ones Were Labeled Enemies Overnight

In the span of days following the 25–26 February 2009 mutiny, the State turned its guns on thousands of low-ranking soldiers—most of whom were unarmed, unaware, and uninvolved. The response was not justice. It was collective punishment, revenge, and cover-up.

BDR soldiers became victims of:

• Mass arrests without evidence

• Incommunicado detention

• Systematic torture and custodial death

• Secret burials without family notification

• Militarized show trials held in batches of 100s

❗This was not justice. This was a state-sanctioned massacre.

We are:
