Bangladesh: Hunger Strike: 4 more Shahbagh protesters hospitalised
Memo demanding Jamaat ban to be submitted to PM online Sunday
Dhaka, Mar 30 (UNB) – Four more members of `Shaheed Rumi Squad` were hospitalised after they fell sick on Saturday, the fifth day of their fast-unto-death programme.
Spokesperson of the protesters Sejuti Sonima Nadi told reporters in the evening that Shahdat Hossain Niloy, Rubayet Adnan Dip, Alif Sadan, Shuvro Mahmud Jyoty and Mehdi Hassan Shuvo were rushed to Birdem Hospital after they fell sick around 5:30pm.
Earlier, on Friday, another protester, Manik Sutradhar, was admitted to the same hospital after he fainted due to weakness.
The members of the ‘Shaheed Rumi Squad’ began their fast-unto-death programme in front of the National Museum at Shahbagh on Tuesday, protesting ‘inadequate’ action by the government to ban Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir.
The bloggers and online activists, who staged a massive month-long demonstration at Prajanma Chattar of Shahbagh on February 21 demanding capital punishment of all the war criminals, gave the government until March 26 to initiate the process to ban the politics of Jamaat and Shibir.
The Shaheed Rumi Squad will submit an online letter to the Prime Minister’s Office at 3:30am on Sunday when their hunger strike will turn 100-hour-old.
Meanwhile, the organisers of Ganajagaran Mancha said they will submit signatures, collected from several lakh people across the country, to acting President Abdul Hamid on Sunday.
