Dear All,
I do not believe politics should be intertwined with religion. It
may give rise to an explosive concoction that the state may not be
able to control eventually. I, however, feel that freedom of speech
has been violated. Protom Alo has been alleged at masterminding this
drive to take revenge of what this group had gone a few months back
to them. If this statement is true then it becomes ironic to think
that the very institution that is epitomizing freedom of press is
actually subverting freedom through oppressive powers. This is also
a dangerous predicament to think about. Should not the press be an
advocate of freedon to speak???
I think the government should reconsider its views while I strongly
believe that religious fervor should not be mixed with statecraft
because the state belongs to all and not to a few.
Thanks for the patience reading.

Bangladesh is staunchly anti-American and very much against Saudi
Monarchy, Sheikhdoms and other pro-western Moslim governments,
which it wants to overthrow. In November 2007, when an American
warship arrived in Bangladesh to help deliver food and dissaster
relief, the Hizb ut-Tahrir, protested the American military
presence in our

> You are rihgt. they may be behind it. they daily star
(on 19/9/08) published report that ask govt to impose a ban on this
party.the star report also say that the party is financed by middle
east countries.. it is ban in many middle east counttries..
> This party was in a propaganda against 'prothom alo' for its
anti bangladesh and anti islam role.
> the daily star report brought many alligations against the
party but with out any document.

> Musfique Prodhan <chena_kew@.
> Though I am not quite a fan of this organization
or its ideology, yet since they are not an outlawed party, the
POLICE shouldnot have arrested them for arranging a press
conference. Perhaps, such order to arrest them might have decended
from Daily Prothom-Alo / Daily Star. Because P-Alo sure do have some
unresovled issues with Hizboot Tahri.

sets and huge leaflets and posters of the party from the possession
of the Tahrir activists.

JMB militants' march through this city at the height of their
vigilance operation in the district and their eventual nemesis.

> Hossain said the university teachers and others were arrested
as "suspected militants" in apprehension of their "subversive acts".

> Carrying leaflets with anti-government statements in violation of
the state of emergency was also cited as a ground for taking them in.

> Arrested DU teacher Golam Mawla said they convened a press
conference
>
> at Rajshahi City Press Club a day before the party's central press
conference at the Engineers' Institute Auditorium in Dhaka.
>
> The DU teacher also named Mohiuddin Ahmed as their party's central
leader.
>
> Prior to arranging the press conference, the party activists
distributed leaflets in the city-heart Saheb Bazaar area after
Tarabi prayers on Sept 9. The party leaflets also carried anti-
government slogans.
>
> The party undertook steps to spread and propagate its activities
by holding the press conference in Rajshahi for the first time,
sources said. But police forestalled the move.
>
> In the leaflets the group also urged the Muslim Ummah to unite
during the holy month of Ramadan and "regain the lost glory".
>
> They also made a call for what they said "toppling the government
for restoration of Khilafat (caliphate)"
>
> Especially, Rajshahi's Bagmara area was a stronghold of Islamic
militants under JMJB, the operations wing of JMB, and Sarbahara
outlaws in the last few years.
>
> Back then, JMB's second-in-command Siddiqul Islam alias Bangla
Bhai had launched a cleansing operation in 2004 against the outlaws
in a bid to eliminate them. After the deadly drive, the terrorist
activities were somehow under control.
>
> Bangla Bhai and JMB chief Shaikh Abdur Rahman and four other
leaders were hanged in two judges' killing cases of Jhalakati last
year.
