Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has protested and condemned the death of writer Mushtaq Ahmed in prison.
“People from all walks of life across the country have become outraged by Mushtaq's death. The death of a freelance writer on Facebook, a non-political, innocent like Mushtaq, is not a normal occurrence. The state power is involved with it. I strongly condemn and protest the death of Mushtaq Ahmed in jail under government custody,” he said, in a written statement, on Friday.
Expressing deep shock and praying for the departed soul of Mushtaq, Fakhrul said, “At the same time, we are demanding transparent, independent and neutral judicial investigation into the death of Mushtaq Ahmed during his imprisonment.”
