Dhaka, Feb 4: Bangladesh police arrested two people for distributing leaflets of deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League party, a day after the interim government warned of punitive actions for such a campaign.
Police arrested them on Monday night following a video of leaflet distribution published on the Facebook page of the Awami League, Dhaka Tribune newspaper reported on Tuesday.
“They were arrested at an autorickshaw garage in the Sonakanda area of Bandar upazila, Narayanganj, on Monday night,” the paper said, quoting a police officer.
It added that they had been distributing leaflets for the past two days in line with a “central directive of the Awami League”.
Police said the two activists were in their custody awaiting subsequent legal procedures as the leaflets had “content that could cause a disruption to law and order”.
The arrests came hours after Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus’ Press Secretary Shafiq Alam said that anyone distributing leaflets in support of the “fascist” Awami League would be arrested. “The cohorts of the fallen fascist are trying to create issues and distributing leaflets. Our strong message to those who will distribute leaflets (is), they will be arrested,” Alam said on Monday.
He said that action would be taken because the content included issues that could destabilise law and order as the cohorts of the fallen regime were spreading disinformation online.(PTI)
