The High Court has granted bail to Sheikh Hafizur Rahman Karzon, a professor at Dhaka University’s law department, in a case filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act. The bench of Justice Md Rasheduzzaman Raja and Justice Md Rezaul Karim issued the order on Monday, November 24, confirming that there are no legal barriers to his release. Professor Karzon was arrested on August 29 from a discussion organized by the group 'Moncho 71' at the Dhaka Reporters Unity. He had been in custody since his arrest. The case was filed by Sub-Inspector Md Amirul Islam of Shahbagh Police Station, alleging that former minister Abdul Latif Siddique made provocative remarks at the event aimed at destabilizing the country and overthrowing the interim government. The Appellate Division had earlier granted bail to Latif Siddique and journalist Manjurul Islam Panna in the same case. Sixteen individuals were detained from the meeting attended by around 70 to 80 people.
