4-party alliance to form human chain today
Wednesday, 27 August 2008
The BNP-led 4-party alliance will form human chain today (Wednesday) across the country to press for the release of party's detained chairperson Khaleda Zia and her son Tarique Rahman, reports UNB.
BNP leader Mohiuddin Khan Mohon said the human chain would continue for 45 minutes from 5:00pm. It is their planned second street protest after abortive roadmarch to Chief Adviser's office on August 21 on the same demand.
In Dhaka city, leaders and workers of BNP, its allies and their front organisations will participate in the human chain. The possible spots are: Jatrabari, Tikatuli, Shapla Chattar, Dainik Bangla crossing, Press Club, Shahbagh, Bangla Motor, Farm Gate, Asad Gate, in front of Suhrawardy Hospital, Shyamoli and Gabtoli.
Former MPs of the alliance and senior leaders will lock their hands in the human chain in front of the makeshift jail in the parliament-building complex where Khaleda has been detained.
She was arrested on September 3 last year in connection with GATCO graft case amid a clampdown on the political arena following the 1/11 changeover.
