Left-leaning organisations to besiege home ministry tomorrow
Bangladesh
The left-leaning political organisations will besiege the Home Ministry on Monday demanding the release of cartoonist Ahmed Kabir Kishore and abolition of Digital Security Act.
Leaders and activists of the organisations will start a procession from Raju Memorial Sculpture of Dhaka University (DU) at 11am.
They made this announcement after the arrest of seven protesters from processions in the Shahbag area and filing of a case against them on Friday midnight over the custodial death of writer Mushtaq Ahmed.
Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) arrested cartoonist Ahmed Kabir Kishore and writer Mushtaq Ahmed from Kakrail and Lalmatia on May 5 last year under the Digital Security Act for posting anti-government posts on Facebook.
Mushtaq Ahmed died at the Kashimpur jail in Gazipur on 25 February.
