Police have torn down the Ganajagaran Mancha at Shahbagh which has been demanding capital punishment for the war criminals.
”Police asked us to evacuate the Prajanma Chattar about 2am and started to dismantle the media cell and other tents here at around 5am Monday,” Maruf Rasool, one of the organisers of the Mancha, told bdnews24.com.
“The whole area is empty now,” he said.
He said the police action came without notice.
“All the Mancha organisations are coming here to decide the next course of action,” he added.
The massive Shahbagh movement began on Feb 5 when a war crimes tribunal handed down Jamaat-e-Islami Assistant Secretary General Abdul Quader Molla life in prison sentence – the one which sparked off a wave of anger and frustration, drawing people to Shahbagh to form mass protests continuing to date.
The protest struck a popular public chord and galvanised tens of people into putting up unprecedented show of support, with Ganajagaran Mancha replicated in districts and divisions.

This cosmetic public relation gimmick would not do. Hasina government MUST abandon her de-Islamization programme and publicly say so. 3 things she can do immediately to escape the wrath of the people (1) Reinstate TRUST IN ALLAH & DEPENDENCY ON HIM in the constitution (2) Promise to hang the apostates and withdraw the title SHAHID she conferred on the dead apostate (3) Release all political prisoners & revert to caretaker govt to held election.
