Human chain before sub-jail tomorrow

Demand for release of Khaleda, her sons, Nizami

Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal will form a human chain in front of the makeshift jail in Sangsad Bhaban complex tomorrow demanding unconditional release of former premier and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, her two sons and Jamaat Ameer Motiur Rahman Nizami.
Jubo Dal President Mia Mohammad Selim announced the programme at a press briefing at BNP Secretary General Khandaker Delwar Hossain's Nam flat yesteray, as a move for the release of Khaleda and her sons--Tarique Rahman and Arafat Rahman--has apparently stalled.
General Secretary of the BNP youth front Abdus Salam Azad in a written statement criticised the government for filing Zia Orphanage corruption case. He alleged the government is trying to destroy Zia family in the name of creating level playing field.
Jubo Dal will also form human chains in Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, Barisal and Sylhet on July 10 and exchange of views with district and divisional representatives from July 20 to July 30.
The press conference was also attended, among others, by Khairul Kabir Khokon, Abul Hossain Khan, Abu Ashraf, Mahbubul Huq Nannu and Meer Newaz Ali.
