A
few hundred people have gathered in Hathazari upazila headquarters in
Chittagong to stage a demonstration Tuesday afternoon demanding death
penalty to “bloggers who insult Islam”.
The crowd, who gathered under the banner of ‘Bangladesh Khelafat Andolon’ termed the bloggers as ‘atheists’ and demanded capital punishment for this, our Chittagong correspondent reported quoting Nurul Hakim, a sub-inspector at Hathazari Police Station.
Asked whether the organisation had taken permission for the rally, Liakat Ali, officer-in-charge of the police station, told The Daily Star that prior permission is not required for all types of programmes.
“We are aware about the rally,” he said.
According to a post on a Shahbagh movement Facebook page, the Hathazari agitators distributed leaflets carrying the photos of some frontline bloggers of the Shahbagh movement terming them as atheists.
"Banners hung there say the Shahbagh movement has been organised to insult Islam," the post reads.
