Govt protecting war criminals
The faction of Gonojagoron Mancha led by Imran H Sarker yesterday accused the government of protecting the war criminals and suppressing the anti-war crimes protesters.
Addressing a rally at the capital's Shahbagh, its spokesperson Imran said the ruling party had infiltrated its activists into the Mancha so that no one could speak in favour of the movement.
Around 7:00pm, when the protesters brought out a procession, police barred them, saying they received instructions about this from their high-ups, said Maruf Rosul, an organiser.
Later, the activists continued their protest in front of the National Museum till 9:30pm. The faction will stage a public rally at Shahbagh today at 4:00pm.
Meanwhile, another faction of the Mancha, under the banner of Shahbagh Andolon, brought out a torch procession and staged a separate rally at Shahbagh, demanding the capital punishment for Sayedee, who was sentenced to jail till death on Wednesday.
They too would hold a separate programme at the same venue at the same time.
Although both the groups were demanding the capital punishment for Sayedee, they ended up in a mud-slinging, criticising certain members of the other faction.
