    24 Sraban 1425/8 August 2018

    Over the past week or so schoolchildren and university students in


    Bangladesh have been demanding road safety, rule of law and
    justice. It has been reported that in the presence of the police,
    members of the student and youth wings of the ruling Awami
    League, the Bangladesh Chattra League and Jubo League, have
    been attacking unarmed young protesters, as well as journalists
    and photographers. It is also reported that several hundred
    protesters are being arbitrarily detained and subjected to police
    remand, including a pregnant woman. Freedoms of expression
    association and assembly are being unlawfully and arbitrarily
    suppressed.
    In the late evening of Sunday 5 August 2018, internationally and
    nationally renowned photographer, academic and human rights
    activist, Shahidul Alam, was unlawfully abducted from his home,
    allegedly by law enforcement personnel, and without an arrest
    warrant. Yesterday, he was produced before the Dhaka Additional
    Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court, where the Detective Branch
    of Police submitted a prayer for ten days’ remand. The Chief
    Metropolitan Magistrate, Asaduzzaman Noor, has granted seven
    days’ remand in a case filed against him under Section 57 of the
    Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Act 2006
    (amended in 2009 & 2013). As he was being carried into the court
    room, he is reported to have said to journalists present, "I was hit.
    They washed my blood-stained clothes and then made me wear
    them again". He is also reported to have said: ‘I was not given
    access to any lawyer during detention’ His alleged crime was taking
    photographs of the brutal attacks on peacefully protesting students
    and exercising his freedom of opinion in an interview to an
    international television channel.
    It has been further reported widely in the media that numerous
    innocent students are being subjected to torture in police custody
    and remand as well as various forms of harassment and
    intimidation whereas those allegedly responsible for imposing
    violence upon a non-political and peaceful movement of the young
    students are enjoying impunity.
    We the undersigned strongly condemn such repression by the
    government, including arbitrary police remand under the repressive
    ICT Act against him. We demand that the Government investigate
    allegations of unlawful arrest and torture and immediately and
    unconditionally facilitate Shahidul Alam’s release and punish those
    responsible for his alleged abduction and torture. If anything he has
    done is considered against the law charges could be brought in the
    due process, but nothing justifies unlawful abduction,
    arbitrary remand and especially unconstitutional torture in custody.
    We also demand that the government stop repression of students,
    academics, journalists and human rights activists immediately,
    release all who have been arbitrarily detained and take every step
    to ensure road safety, freedom of speech, freedom of movement
    and freedom of association for all, without discrimination.
