Police in Muktagacha, Mymensingh, arrested a man named Azizul Haque on Thursday night for allegedly sharing a Facebook post involving Prime Minister Tarique Rahman. The post, originally uploaded from an account called 'Tarique Rahman Blog', placed the Prime Minister’s image beside that of an unidentified woman. A case was filed the following day under the Cyber Security Act and the Anti-Terrorism Act, naming Azizul as the sole accused. He was later produced before court and sent to jail.
Local sources told Deutsche Welle that tension had arisen among BNP supporters before the arrest, though police denied any political pressure. The Muktagacha police chief said Azizul was detained under Section 54 before the case was filed, citing confirmed evidence of wrongdoing. Azizul’s relatives claimed he was illiterate and that someone else might have used his phone to share the post.
Human rights activist Nur Khan Liton questioned the urgency of the arrest, noting the Prime Minister’s generally tolerant stance. The Prime Minister’s press secretary stated that freedom of expression does not justify posting indecent images and that the administration acted independently under the law.
