Bangladesh Film Directors Association speaks up on Pori Moni, 25 days after arrest

Bangladesh Film Directors Association released a statement on August 30, demanding  the release of popular actor Pori Moni, 25 days after her arrest in a case filed under the Narcotics Control Act. The statement was signed by Sohanur Rahman Sohan, President of the association.

It noted that Bangladesh Film Directors Association has refrained from making any instantaneous comments on the case.

It also stated that as Pori Moni is a well-known public figure, it was difficult to find out the truth about the incident so quickly, and those who made immediate statements in this regard, were opposite by various parties.\

"We want to say this loud and clear: Pori Moni is one of our favourite artistes; we all value her inclusion in our film community. Whether she is guilty or not is a matter of the courts. But she should definitely be released on bail. Like every other citizen in the country, Pori Moni is also entitled to her due legal rights," read the statement.
