A Dhaka court has ordered the imprisonment of Sheikh Tasnim Afroz Emi, former general secretary of Slogan ’71, along with two others in a case filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act. The order was issued on Sunday by Metropolitan Magistrate Jewel Rana after the three were produced before the court by Shahbagh police.

The other accused are former employment secretary of the banned Dhaka University Shahidullah Hall Chhatra League unit, Md Asif Ahmed Saikat, and organization leader Abdul Al Mamun. According to the case details, police detained Saikat on Saturday afternoon near Shahidullah Hall crossing when he allegedly attempted to flee after a gathering where ruling party affiliates were playing the March 7 speech. Later that night, Emi and Mamun allegedly led a group of 10–15 unidentified persons near the National Museum.

Police claim the accused delivered provocative slogans facing the Shahbagh mosque during prayers, attempted to revive activities of a banned organization, obstructed law enforcement, and tried to snatch Saikat from custody. Students then detained Emi and Mamun and handed them over to police, leading to the case filing under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
