DHAKA: Jamaat-e-Islami alleged the government has been oppressing their leaders and activists across the country and threatened to avenge every drop of blood.

Acting secretary general of the party Dr Shafikur Rahman, in a statement on Monday night, issued the threat to the government.

The statement said police have ravaged the house of Satkhira District Jamaat Ameer Principal Abdul Khalek and shot dead two people when they came forward to protest the matter.

He also said law enforcers, after killing Dr Foyez in Laxmipur, killed another four of the grief stricken people. In Noakhali, police, with the help of Jubo League cadres, shot dead nine Jamaat activists. Eight people were shot dead in Nilphamari district.

Jamaat leader Shafikur Rahman warned the government saying that you would be brought to book for every drop of blood you shed.

He also urged the UN, local and foreign humanitarian organizations and world community to raise voice against the ‘killing’.

He also urged people to make the 72-hour blockade across the country a success.
