Amra Sylhetbasi, a local social organisation, on Saturday
called a daylong hartal in the district for Monday protesting against the
inclusion of Sylhet City Corporation mayor Ariful Haque Chowdhury in the
supplementary charge-sheet in the Shah AMS Kibria murder case.
Amra Sylhetbasi president Abdur Razzak announced the shutdown
from a mass rally held at the Court Point in the city in the afternoon. He said
they will observe the strike from 6:00am to 6:00pm.
After the rally, a procession was brought out in support of
the hartal.
Earlier, on Thursday Senior Assistant Superintendent Meherunnesa
Parul of Habiganj Criminal Investigation Department (CID), also the
investigation officer of the case, submitted the supplementary charge-sheet
against 32 people, including former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia’s political
secretary Harris Chowdhury and SCC mayor Ariful Haque Chowdhury, in the case.
Five people, including Kibria, were killed and 70 others injured
in a grenade attack on a public meeting of local Awami League at Baidder Bazar
in Sadar upazila of Habiganj on January 27, 2005.
