There is no retreat: Mirza Fakhrul

He said this after being released from jail on Monday (January 9) evening in front of the Nayapaltan party office. "This fascist government will be defeated through a peaceful movement," Mirza Fakhrul said, pointing out that the more torture, the more people will be angry. Defeat them through movement. The movement must be intensified, through which they must be defeated. 

Stating that the BNP leaders and activists are living inhuman life in the prison, he said, "By the grace of God and your struggle, only two have come out today." Thousands of our leaders are still in prison. They are subjected to inhuman suffering. They are living an inhumane life. 6-7 people are kept in a cell. They are not allowed to go out. Today they have turned the entire country into a prison.

Addressing the government, the BNP Secretary General said that they thought they would stop the movement for the restoration of democracy by arresting, imprisoning, storming BNP offices, torturing, missing and shooting. Earlier about 12 of our activists were killed. But has the movement stopped? Rather, it has become stronger, faster.

Referring to the fact that the whole of Bangladesh has been rocked by protests today, the former minister said that they cannot suppress us by arresting, detaining, torturing and killing us. The people of this country have woken up. People have come down to claim their rights.
