Ajiran Murder Case: Rights Group Defends Call for Independent Investigation Review

The Centre for Citizens Right Protection has defended its call for an independent review of the investigation into the Ajiran murder case. The group said seeking transparency and accountability does not amount to interfering with judicial proceedings. It rejected claims that public calls for scrutiny are an attempt to influence the court. According to the group, it has not supported a media trial and maintains that guilt or innocence can only be decided by a competent court. The organisation said citizens can question whether investigations were fair and transparent while respecting the presumption of innocence. It urged the police and relevant oversight bodies to address concerns professionally and conduct any review in line with the law. It also called for an inquiry into leaked investigative materials, while warning that the leak controversy should not overshadow wider concerns about the investigation.
