Bangladesh let one hundred and seventy-eight former paramilitary troops walk free from jail Thursday, nearly sixteen years after they were detained over a violent mutiny that massacred dozens of senior army officers.
Rampaging troops from the Bangladesh Rifles, BDR, murdered seventy-four people during the two-day revolt that began in Dhaka and spread across the country in 2009, destabilizing the government of then-premier Sheikh Hasina weeks after she took office.
