Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’s women’s wing organized a human chain protest in front of the National Press Club in Dhaka on Wednesday, demanding the withdrawal of a case filed against Bibi Sauda Sumi, a female Jamaat activist from Bhola municipality who was arrested from her home. Around a hundred women participated in the demonstration, carrying placards and chanting slogans, which briefly made the area lively.
During the event, the organization’s general secretary Nurunnesa Siddiqui called for resolving the country’s fuel and gas crisis, ending extortion, and ensuring judicial independence. She also urged effective measures to stop cyberbullying. Siddiqui alleged that criticism of the government previously led to lawsuits and that similar authoritarian behavior is recurring, citing arrests of opposition voices including workers.
She further claimed that although a controversial cyber law had been repealed due to misuse, its provisions are again being used for arrests. Other speakers included the group’s law and human rights secretary Advocate Sabekunnahar Munni and publicity and media secretary Nazmun Nahar Nilu.
