Hafez Tarek Reza, Joint Member Secretary of the National Citizen Party (NCP), announced on Thursday that Jannat Akter Rumi, the party’s Dhanmondi Thana Joint Coordinator, has died by suicide. In a Facebook post, Reza claimed that Rumi had been subjected to persistent cyberbullying, threats, and intimidation from individuals linked to the ruling Awami League over the past month. Reza alleged that despite repeated appeals from Rumi’s family and friends, law enforcement authorities failed to provide adequate protection or intervention. He further stated that the incident should not be treated as a suicide but as a politically motivated killing, vowing to seek justice for his colleague. His post has sparked renewed debate about political harassment, online abuse, and the lack of institutional response in Bangladesh. The case underscores growing concerns about cyber harassment targeting political activists and the perceived impunity surrounding such incidents. Authorities have yet to issue an official statement or confirm whether an investigation has been launched.
