Gonojagoron Mancha faction marches again for justice

A faction of Gonojagoron Mancha yesterday brought out a procession demanding arrest and trial of the killers of blogger Niladri Chattopadhyay Niloy.

Some hundred people joined the procession that began in Shahbagh of the capital and also ended there after going through the Dhaka University area.

The protestors chanted slogans criticising negligence of police in arresting Niloy's murderers.

Imran H Sarker, spokesperson of the faction, alleged that the government was insincere in stopping the murders of free thinkers.

He threatened to go for a tougher movement if police fail to arrest the culprits within Friday.

He also criticised Inspector General of Police AKM Shahidul Hoque for his remarks that requested bloggers to not "cross the limit".

Earlier, the faction of Gonojagoron Mancha welcomed the verdict of International Crimes Tribunal-1 which found two Bagerhat Razakars -- Sheikh Sirajul Haque alias Siraj Master and Khan Akram Hossain -- guilty of war crimes during the Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971.
