ATM Azharul Islam

politician Bangladesh

ATM Azharul Islam is a prominent Bangladeshi political figure and a leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami party. He has been a controversial figure in Bangladesh's political landscape, particularly due to his long imprisonment, which has lasted over 13 years. His incarceration has sparked significant debate regarding human rights and judicial processes in the country, with his supporters claiming that he has been subjected to physical and mental torture during his detention. Recently, calls for his release have intensified, as party officials like Secretary General Mia Golam Porwar criticized the government's actions and labeled them as unjust, drawing attention to the ongoing political repression in Bangladesh under the current administration.
