[Bangla Daily Star] Former Islami Chhatra Shibir ... the student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh... president Rezaul Karim was sent to Chittagong Central Jail on Monday in a sedition case filed for making "derogatory remarks" about the prime minister and home minister. District and Sessions Judge of Chittagong Abdul Kuddus Mian passed the order after Rezaul surrendered to the court to seek extension of his bail that expired on May 25. The court rejected the prayer and sent him to jail. Earlier, Rezaul granted bail up to May 25 in the case. The case was filed against Rezaul and seven others with a Chittagong court on November 2, 2010. |
