Ongoing protests intensify in Bangladesh after arrest of Shafiqur Rahman, leader of the country's third largest party, Jamaat-e-Islami
Country's third largest political party, Jamaat-e-Islami, condemns Shafiqur Rahman's detention, saying it was intended to"scuttle" the opposition movement.
Counter-terrorism officers arrested Jamaat-e-Islami party leader Shafiqur Rahman in Dhaka, metropolitan police spokesman Faruq Ahmed said, without elaborating on the charges. "This is just another episode of the unjust oppression continuing against the party for the last 15 years," Matiur Rahman Akand, Jamaat's publicity secretary, told AFP news agency.
They are also demanding the release of Begum Khaleda Zia, the 76-year-old opposition leader and two-time prime minister who has been imprisoned for 17 years on corruption charges.
