Posters in Barguna demand Hasina's freedom
Sunday, 29 July 2007
BARGUNA, July 28 (bdnews24.com): Scores of handwritten posters demanding Sheikh Hasina's release have covered many walls in the coastal town of Barguna, witnesses said Saturday.
Content of the posters criticises two caretaker advisers, Mainul Hosein and MA Matin, apparently for their recent comments on the arrest of the former prime minister.
But police said they were not aware of such posters and had no clue about who could post them, a claim that contradicts the witnesses' statement.
The posters were visible in prominent places of the small town, such as the Press Club, Municipality Market, Zila School, Girls' School, Government College, Women's College and Lawyers' Association office.
Slogans such as "We are still on the streets", "We want Sheikh Hasina's freedom" and "Prices of essentials are too much" are part of the content.
Many other posters branded Mainul and Matin as "traitors".
