‘Intellectuals for Human Rights’ (IFHR) vehemently condemns the arrest of
Common Candidate of the Opposition for the presidential election – 2010 by the
Military Police.
Getting a civilian to be arrested by the Military Police is an instance of
outmaneuveringthe supremacy of the law in the country to give way for military
dictatorship. Also, it is the climax of the sinister move that commenced during
the post presidential election period with the hunting down of democratic forces
including religious leaders, activists of the opposition, journalists and trade
union activists.
‘Intellectuals for Human Rights’ (IFHR) believes that all those who cherish
democracy and freedom should unite forgetting all differences including that of
race, religion and politics to defeat the naked dictatorship that cannot be
concealed by the so called military discipline, state security or any other
‘shawl.’
