Thousands sent letter to the Home Minister demanding withdrawal of ban on Hizb ut-Tahrir and release of Mohiuddin Ahmed

In the past ten days about 8000 letters were sent by Muslims of Bangladesh to the Home Minister demanding withdrawal of the ban on Hizb ut-Tahrir and the immediate release of the official spokesman of the party, Mohiuddin Ahmed.

In the letter they said on 22 October, 2009 the government banned Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bangladesh, at the behest of the imperialists and since then the official spokesman of the party, Mohiuddin Ahmed, together with his wife and children, have been placed under house arrest. But the government has failed to produce any evidence behind the allegation it made to ban Hizb ut-Tahrir and bring any formal charges against Mohiuddin Ahmed. Such actions of the government are totally anti-Islamic, unjustified, oppressive, and similar in nature to how brutal dictators around the world deal with their political opponents. They ended the letter with the warning of Allah سبحانه وتعالى in the Noble Qur’an,

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ

“Verily, those who oppress and torture believing men and women, and do not repent from such deeds, they shall be put in the Hellfire” [Surah al-Buruj: 10]
