Blogger Ahmed Rajib Haider, 35, was hacked to death near his home in the
capital Dhaka Friday night. He was known to be actively involved in the Shahbag protests demanding the
execution of Jamaat-e-Islami party leaders who are on trials for war
crimes. The police said that Rajib, hacked in the face and throat, was found dead about 9:30pm in a dark place near his house.
Right after the murder was confirmed by police, netizens on Facebook and Twitter went wild, flailing accusations wildly at Jamaat-e-Islami and Shibir. To prove this, they posted a picture of a post on the Sonar Bangla blog, which pointed out at the fact that Ahmed Rajiv Haider Shuvo, known on cyber space as Thaba Baba, was an organizer in the Shahbagh movement. The page pointed out that Thaba Baba was an atheist with an unusual flair for spreading hate speech against Islam. That was all.
Local Awami League lawmaker Elias Molla and blogger Imran H Sarkar alleged that Jamaat and Shibir activists might be behind the killing. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed on Saturday launched a broadside against the Jamaat-e-Islami stating that the Islamist party has no role to play in Bangladesh's politics. She said this while shedding crocodile tears to console the bereaved family of Rajib.
In a surprise move Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) on Saturday shut down the ‘Sonar Bangla’ blog, following demand from the demonstrators at Shahbagh and family & friends of the deceased. BTRC Assistant Director (Media Wing) Jakir Hossain Khan told bdnews24.com: “The blog site has been shut down since Saturday noon.” BTRC directed all International Internet Gateway (IIG) operators to close the Sonar Bangla blog earlier in the day, he said.
Officials of the telecom regulator told AFP that the Sonar Bangla blog site had been shut down since Saturday for spreading “hate speech and causing communal tension”.
But still, that was not all.......
Editor of the blog, Aminul Muhaiman has been detained by plain dressed Detective Branch (DB) police Saturday evening from his resident at Dhanmondi, reports his wife Asia Muhaiman. DB police also seized Aminul’s computer, mobile phone, bank cheque book, educational certificates and passport. Asia does not have any information regarding Aminul since his arrest.
So much for freedom of speech in a democracy of 160 million.
Wikipedia points out that Freedom of speech is the political right to communicate one's opinions and ideas. It is recognized as a human right under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).
I end this piece with these demands,
Free Aminul vai.
Free the Sonar Bangla blog.
Give us back our freedom.
Give us back our voice.
And Allah know best...............

ঢাকা: মুশফিকুর রহিম অধিনায়ক থাকছেন না নতুন অধিনায়ক আসছে তা সোমবারে নির্ধারন হয়ে যাবে।জিম্বাবুয়ে সফরে মুশফিক অধিনায়কত্ব ছেড়ে দেবার ঘোষণা দিয়ে হইচই ফেলে দিয়েছিলেন । বাংলাদেশ ক্রিকেট বোর্ড (বিসিবি) কর্মকর্তরাও উদ্বিগ্ন হয়ে উঠেছিলেন তার এমন সিদ্ধান্তে। টি-টোয়েন্টি সিরিজ শেষে সেই মুশফিকই সংবাদ সম্মেলনে জানালেন, ভুল সিদ্ধান্ত নিয়েছিলেন তিনি।
দেশে ফিরে হযরত শাহজালাল আন্তর্জাতিক বিমানবন্দরের সংবাদ সম্মেলনেও এনিয়ে বিস্তর প্রশ্ন করা হয়েছে মুশফিককে। তিনি বার বার একটাই উত্তর দিয়েছেন, আবেগে অধিনায়কত্ব ছেড়ে দেওয়ার ঘোষণা দিয়েছিলেন। যাকে তিনি ভুল হিসেবেও দেখছেন।
মুশফিকের কথায় বিসিবি সভাপতি নাজমুল হাসান ্য বিষয়টি তদন্তের জন্য দায়িত্ব দেন বোর্ডের কর্মকর্তাও জাতীয় দলের সঙ্গে জিম্বাবুয়েতে থাকা আহমেদ সাজ্জাদুল আলম ববীকে। তিনি খোজ খবর নিয়ে দেখেছেন, মুশফিকের পদত্যাগের পেছনে দলের কোন ক্রিকেটার জড়িত,নেই।ববী বললেন,‘আমাকে এবিষয়ে খোঁজখবর করার দায়িত্ব দিয়েছেন সভাপতি। খেলোয়াড়, টিম ম্যানেজমেন্ট এবং সংশ্লিষ্ট সবার সঙ্গে কথা বলে কোন দোষ খুঁজে পাইনি আমি। আমার কাছে মনে হয়েছে হারতে থাকায়,সে চাপ নিতে পারছিল না। এজন্যই আবেগের বশে সিদ্ধান্তটা নিয়েছে।’
সোমবার কার্যনির্বাহী কমিটির মূলতবী সভা ডেকেছে বিসিবি। ওই সভাতেই বিষয়টি তোলা হতে পারে। ডাকা হতে পারে মুশফিকুর রহিমকেও। আর এদিনই হয়তো বিষয়টি নিষ্পত্তি হয়ে যেতে পারে।
