Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son of deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has alleged there is no rule of law in Bangladesh where even the Supreme Court is not safe.
“This is not reform, this is mob rule. There is no rule of law in Bangladesh when even the Supreme Court is not safe,” he alleged in his verified Facebook account.
Joy, who was ICT adviser of Hasina, said on Saturday the protestors threatened to attack the Supreme Court and burn down the home of the Chief Justice of Bangladesh.
In the post Joy said “They demanded the court resign and they provided a list of names of people to be appointed. The interim government gave in to their demand and appointed Justices named by the protestors. How can the Supreme Court of a country be changed without any due process, without elected Parliament?
He also said that the protestors gave a list of 41 journalists to the National Press Club demanding they be expelled.
“After all their allegations of my mother's government’s crackdown on freedom of speech, is this not a more severe attack on freedom of speech? So a mob gets to provide a list of journalists to throw out?”
He said that he would like to hear from the international media and government on this. “You have been so vocal in the past, why are you silent now?”
