The verdict in the August 21 grenade attack case will be executed as soon as possible following all legal rules and procedures. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said this in a message commemorating the scandalous day of 2004.

He hoped that the verdict would put an end to terrorism and militancy in Bangladesh. In this case, 19 people were sentenced to death, 19 to life imprisonment, and 11 to various terms of imprisonment.

Stating that anti-independence communal groups are still vocal in various ways, the Prime Minister called upon them to be ready at all times to face any malpractice-conspiracy of this evil force unitedly.

Incidentally, on 21 August 2004, a grenade attack was carried out at an Awami League anti-terror rally on Bangabandhu Avenue in the capital. The horrific attack killed 24 people, including female Awami League leader Ivy Rahman. Hundreds of leaders and activists were injured.
