Police Removed the Gonojagoron Moncho from Shahbag

On 06/05/2013 early morning police has removed the stage that was set by Gonojagoron Moncho at the heart of the city shahbag junction. Almost about 3 months the road was blocked by the stage.

Gonojagoron moncho has been demanding for death execution  of the charged persons by the controversial International Crimes Tribunal formed by the current Government,  and their other demand has been to band the country's third largest political party and the coyntry's  largest islamic party,  duly registered,  Bangladesh Jamate Islami.


Since its (The Gonojagoron moncho) formation Government provided food,  water, sanitation facilities for the activists of the Gonojagoron moncho from Government fund. During This long time the road (shahbag junction) was blocked by the police and Rab. The activists occupied the road 24 hours a day,  7 days a week, non stop,  Unlike any other party including country's largest opposition party BNP who are only allowed to continue their protest or gathering for couple of hours of a day.



The junction was a important one in the capital city. There are couple of hospitals (country's largest ones) namely Bongonondhu Sheikh Mujib Medical college & Hospital,  Birdem Hospital, and a five star hotel Hotel Ruposhi Bangla, public library and also the National musium just at the Shahbag junction.
During this long time people had to suffer a lot to reach to the hospital even to get out of it. Roads surrounding shahbag had extra traffic, and extra jam adding the woes of the dhaka's citizens. The 5 star Hotel (Ruposhi bangla) lost a lot of its customers. During this long time citizens suffered but could not utter a word against it. Because of the direct Government support.


At last thankfully Government decided to wrap it up. And the citizens are relieved.
