“What kind of program is this that blocks roads?” — a student, affected by the chaos, was seen protesting against NCP’s program with a poster carrying this slogan. That was his only “crime.” And for this “crime,” the police deceitfully told him they would drop him home, but instead tried to take him to the station. Sensing their malicious intent, the young man quickly got out of the vehicle.
Due to NCP’s road-blocking program, there were no cars or rickshaws available, and the student had to walk a long way. His mother is ill at home. Thinking about his mother and thousands of others like her, he had written his protest against NCP’s public-harassing program on a piece of paper. But in this so-called free country, freedom of speech has been held hostage since August 5th.
The July conspirators — militants and war criminals — are now leaders of the King’s Party. They’re protected by the Yunus-occupied police force. Citizens are being silenced by top-down orders if they speak out. What else can you call a ruler who interferes with the people’s right to free speech just to protect an unregistered militant political group, and resorts to unethical arrests whenever someone disagrees — if not a tyrant?
