BBC BanglaAccording to what the BBC understands, three scholar protest leaders who organized the current rallies in Bangladesh have been forcibly taken from hospitals.
Nahid Islam, Asif Mahmud and Abu Baker Majumder were taken from Gonoshasthaya Hospital in the capital, Dhaka, medical team said on Friday.
Staff users said the soldiers, who were dressed in police, had forced their release despite the concerns of doctors at the hospital.
The three people claimed that the injury they received in earlier police custody were the result of torture and beatings they had experienced.
Anwara Begum Lucky, the head of Gonoshasthaya doctor, told the AFP reports company,” They took them from us.”
” The guys were from the Detective Branch”.
She continued, adding that the hospital’s chief had been under pressure to let the students leave despite the fact that she had never wanted them to.
Fatema Tasnim, Mr. Islam’s older girl, reported to AFP from the hospital that six police police had taken all three guys.
Nahid Islam stated to investigators last week that he was concerned for his career.
Last year, he was taken from a friend’s house, interrogated, and subjected to physical and mental abuse by those who claimed to be police.
He claims that he went into the hospital after he fainted and returned to consciousness after going home because he had blood clotting on both his left knee and his arms.
Information Minister Mohammad Ali Arafat alleged that in response to his claims, Mohammad Ali Arafat informed the BBC that the event would be looked into but that he had a suspicion of” damage” and that someone was trying to discredit the officers.
Since the unrest broke out next year, authorities have made more than 4, 000 arrests.
The organization that coordinated this week’s street demonstrations against legal service hiring regulations is Students Against Discrimination, which comprises all three students.
Due to the violence, the couple’s student party had suspended a deeper wave of protests at the start of this week.
In response to at least 150 fatalities allegedly caused by officers and college students, security forces have used excessive force.
Activists had been calling for the elimination of restrictions on federal jobs.
About 30 % of Bangladesh’s high-paying government positions were reserved for friends of those who fought in the nation’s struggle for independence from Pakistan in 1971.
The majority of these quotas have now been reversed by Bangladesh’s best court, which has now decided that 93 % of jobs will now be filled on merit, which is in line with a pressing need of protesters.
The government imposed an extraordinary communications blackout at the start of the protests, limiting telephone service access and shutting down the computer.
Earlier this week, Bangladesh’s leader Sheikh Hasina was accused of crying “crocodile tears” after she was photographed weeping at a train station that was destroyed during anti-government protests.
Instead of blaming her political competitors for the wave of violence, she has refrained from criticizing how her safety forces use excessive force to quell the unrest.
Some student leaders have pledged to continue the protests and demand justice for the new victims and detained protesters.
Additionally, they want Ms. Hasina’s explanation and the withdrawal of cabinet ministers.
