I have a friend here who came from Bangladesh and did a law degree here. He recently qualified here and returned to Dhaka to persue politics (fathers wish/orders)...he just had fake charges put on him and got locked up. Came running back to the U.K.

That's how Nazi Germany used to function.

Government has started a block raid at the Basundhara area. Police surrounded the area completely. Even though police is saying it is just a normal raid to capture criminals and suspected terrorist and has no connection with the student protest but people were suspecting it is to crush the student protesters. Some of the big private universities are located there and students of those universities live there and they had a clash with police on Saturday.



BBC News বাংলা



বাংলাদেশের রাজধানী ঢাকার বসুন্ধরা আবাসিক এলাকা সম্পূর্ণ ঘিরে ফেলে পুলিশ এক অভিযান চালাচ্ছে, যেটা তাদের ভাষায় ‘ব্লক রেইড’ বলা হয়।

এই এলাকায় নর্থসাউথ বেসরকারি বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের ক্যাস্পাস এবং এখানে শনিবার ছাত্র-পুলিশ সংঘর্ষ হয়েছে।

ছাত্রদের অনেকে এই এলাকায় ফ্ল্যাট ভাড়া নিয়ে থাকে।

তবে পুলিশ বলছে, তাদের অভিযানের সাথে নিরাপদ সড়কের দাবিতে সাম্প্রতিক ছাত্র বিক্ষোভের কোন সম্পর্ক নেই।

ডিএমপি মুখপাত্র মাসুদুর রহমান বিবিসি বাংলাকে জানিয়েছেন, এটি একটি ব্লক রেইড, এবং অপরাধী ধরার জন্য এ ধরণের অভিযান তারা প্রায়ই চালিয়ে থাকেন।

বসুন্ধরার অভিযানটিও অপরাধী ধরার জন্যই চালানো হচ্ছে বলে জানান তিনি।

Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid has said ‘no’ to a call for general amnesty for private university students who joined protests for safe roads.





When the vice-chancellors of several private universities in Dhaka made the call at an emergency meeting with the education ministry and the University Grants Commission on Wednesday, Nahid said those who ‘commit crimes’ must be brought to justice.

“Please forgive those whoever among the students had committed crimes. They will return to the right path if you announce a general amnesty,” World University of Bangladesh VC Prof Abdul Mannan Choudhury said to the government.

“Find out the outsiders who instigated and misled the students,” he added.

Students from high schools and colleges waged the movement for safe roads after two of their peers were killed in a road accident in Dhaka on July 29.


Students of private universities clashed with the police and pro-government youths on the ninth day of the protests on Monday.

The law enforcers detained at least 75 protesters and took 22 of them in their custody for questioning.

“We want to see the remanded students released,” Eastern University VC Prof Aminul Hoque said.

North South University VC Prof Atique Islam, ASA University VC Dalem Chandra Barman and several other VCs of private universities also urged the government to pardon the students.

Prime Asia University Prof Abdul Hannan Chowdhury demanded the law enforcers take permission of the authorities of the private universities before acting against the students like they do in case of the students of public universities.

In response to the VCs’ demands, Nahid said he would take steps to ensure that no innocent student is harassed.

“But who can pardon if any student is found to have done any misdeed?” he asked.


“We can’t stop legal actions against those who tried to worsen the situation deliberately by spreading rumours,” the education minister said.

Nahid claimed the students of schools and colleges did not hit the streets after the ministry sat with college principals on Aug 5.

“But the private university students took to the streets amid attempts to advance some other objective. You’ve seen that orders were given on phones, which means some people tried to hijack the movement.

“Now the demand for amnesty has been made. Who are we to forgive? If someone continues protests after the problems are solved, he or she will be dealt with legally,” he added.

Judge Satyabrata Sikder of the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court passed the orders rejecting bail pleas of 20 students on Thursday.

He set Sunday to hear bail appeals of two others. No-one of the accused were produced in the court.

Defence lawyers, including former Dhaka Bar Council chief Abdur Rahman Howlader, argued that the identity of the accused as student was not mentioned in the case documents.

In addition, the charges against the students were not specific, they added.

Court police’s General Recording Officer Sub-Inspector Md Abu Hanif opposed the bail pleas at the hearing.

“They did not act like students. They created disorder to topple the government and will do it again if they get bail,” he argued.
