Allegations have surfaced regarding the confinement of political party leaders and activists in prisons alongside notorious criminals and militants. Sajjadul Miraj, the member secretary of Dhaka Metropolitan North Juba Dal, who was recently released from incarceration, raised concerns about such cohabitation in a formal complaint.

He stated, "Following an arduous 90-day period, I was released from Kashimpur High-Security Jail, yet I find myself far from emancipated under the grip of this oppressive and fascist government. I was confined in a prison that accommodates some of Bangladesh's most notorious criminals and militant organisations, subject to continuous surveillance even within the jail premises. During family visits, which were limited to 15 minutes, interactions were closely monitored by NSI, CID, SB, and correctional officers. Despite these challenges, my wife and sole child remained steadfast in visiting. This government is exceeding the bounds of permissible torture."

Miraj conveyed, "Political prisoners are housed in Kashimpur-1, Kashimpur-2, and Keraniganj prisons. Despite my classification as a political prisoner, I was confined to a room on the fourth floor of a five-story building within Kashimpur High-Security Jail, with no permission to venture outside. Any attempt to leave the room prompted searches by agency personnel, resulting in threats to the prisoners."

He expressed, "I want to emphasise that as the oppression of the current fascist government escalates, the BNP movement will intensify correspondingly. Lawsuits and attacks cannot suppress BNP's resolve as we take to the streets in response to the severity of torture and persecution. No one will retreat until the fall of this illegal government. Our democratic movement persists, impervious to attempts to quell it through baseless cases and imprisonment. Under the leadership of BNP Acting Chairman Tariq Rahman, the country's people have awakened. This government, having siphoned off crores of taka, dismantled democracy, and curtailed people's right to speak, has delivered our once-golden Bangladesh into the hands of imperialists. Today, our politics, economy, education, culture, and the people's freedom of speech and values are all in decay. The only way to overcome this is continuous movement."

BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi raised concerns, alleging, "Throughout the agitation and struggle leading up to the 12th Parliament elections on January 7, egregious human rights violations have been perpetrated against BNP prisoners, stripping them of essential facilities. The current Inspector General of Prisons has purportedly verbally instructed all prison authorities to withhold basic amenities from BNP prisoners to appease Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Jails nationwide have been likened to Hitler's gas chambers and concentration camps, where imprisoned BNP activists endure torture and severe violations of their rights. BNP leaders and activists, already incarcerated due to mistreatment, now find themselves facing additional challenges."

He asserted that incarcerated BNP leaders and activists are being unjustly confined to their prison cells, with restrictions on leaving, meeting relatives, receiving clothing, and engaging in phone conversations. Since Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina assumed power, prisons have become overcrowded with BNP leaders and activists, transforming them into spaces that no longer solely house genuine social criminals. According to him, the methods of oppression employed in jails now reflect the principles of fascism. Sheikh Hasina, he claimed, has appointed officers who align with her ideals to oversee the prison system.

Rizvi further stated, "Sheikh Hasina desires the harassment, oppression, and torture of BNP leaders and activists both before and after their arrest, perpetuating abuse throughout their time in prison." He vehemently condemned and protested against such inhumane treatment of prisoners. Simultaneously, as a prominent BNP leader, he strongly urged the relevant authorities to guarantee the fair rights of incarcerated individuals.
