LDP General secretary Dr. Redwan sent to jail; Acting Secretary General demands immediate release

-Maulana ATM Masum

Acting Secretary General of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, Maulana ATM Masum has issued the following statement on 11th May 2022 demanding the immediate release of Liberal Democratic Party’s (LDP) General Secretary and former state minister Dr. Redwan Ahmed.

“On last 9th April, centering a Post-Eid reunion program, local Chhatra League, Jubo League and Shechashebak League leaders and activists attacked the vehicle of Liberal Democratic Party’s (LDP) General Secretary and former state minister Dr. Redwan Ahmed without any provocation. At that time, for saving his life, he took shelter in the adjacent police station. But local policemen, instead of taking action against the attackers, showed Dr. Redwan Ahmed arrested in a false case and sent him to jail. Subsequently, the district court dismissed his bail plea yesterday. Such harassment and arrest of a top politician is really regrettable and unfortunate. It does not make any sense of political courtesy and manners. We are vehemently condemning the incident.

I am urging the concerned authority to withdraw the false case which has been filed against Dr. Redwan Ahmed and also to release him immediately.”
