The statement was issued by party senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi protesting and condemning the arrest of BNP vice chairman Shamsuzzaman Dudu.

“The police are raiding the houses of our leaders and activists at any time of the day and night to arrest them. When the targeted persons are not found at homes, their fathers and brothers or other family members are being unjustly detained,” the statement reads.

Rizvi alleged that the detained relatives of the BNP leaders are being subjected to indescribable torture when they are taken to the police stations.

He also said the current despotic regime has launched a terrible crackdown across the country to wipe out the BNP. “But the dream of eliminating BNP will remain a nightmare as BNP is determined to ensure the fall of the current illegal regime along with people.”
