Police atrocity On Jamaat workers
As a result of Police obstructing the Jammate Islami program and subsequent police action and clash about two hundred persons have been injured,one hundred arrested and number of transports have been damaged. We have seen in the Tv footage the merciless beating by police .Reports say that police also raided hospital to arrest the injured. The height of it is that the Superintendent of the hospital was arrested.
Apart from that senior Jamaat central leaders including AZharul Islam, the secretary General of the party ,have been arrested from Jamaat central office
UNB has reported that At least 17 vehicles including three police cars were burnt in the capital on monday as riot police clashed with Jamaat-e-Islami activists demanding release of their top leaders.Witnesses said police charged batons and fired barrage of tear gas shells to disperse hundreds of Jamaat-e-Islami activists who gathered at the Diploma Engineers Institute at Kakrail this afternoon to observe their two-day demonstration program.The pitched battle broke out at about 4pm when police obstructed the demonstrators. Soon the clashes spread out to Paltan, Bijoynagar, Fakirerpool and Malibagh areas.Helmeted police in full riot gear used dozens of tear gas canisters to disperse the Jamaat activists turning the entire area starting from Kakrail crossing to Purana Paltan and Fakirerpool to Malibagh.”
We condemn the police action.The processionists had all the right to hold peaceful protest. Police should not have obstructed the procession. The peaceful space for political action is reducing. This will increase violence for which the authorities will be responsible.The arrest of senior political leaders from their office is unacceptable. So is the arrest of a senior doctor from the hospital
