United People's Democratic Front (UPDF), an anti-peace treaty organisation, yesterday demanded immediate release of its central committee member Sachib Chakma who was arrested by army from Bagachhara in Rangamati district on charge of killing and abduction on February 06. UPDF demanded this through a press statement signed by District Pahari Chhatra Parishad secretary Arpon Chakma. Terming Sachib innocent, the statement said previously many innocent indigenous people were arrested in a similar style. It has threatened to launch a greater agitation if the UPDF leader is not freed soon.
