Bangla: Galib denied bail again
2005-03-20
A weary looking Asadullah Al Galib, chief of Ahle Halith Andolan, was denied bail yesterday by the Gaibandha magistrate court in two consecutive bomb blast cases. He was later sent to Gopalganj, where he will face a nine-day remand. It was the second time Galib appeared before the Gaibandha magistrate court in connection with the bomb cases. At the same time, 15 other militants arrested in the same cases were also produced before court.

Galib's defence laywer, Sirajul Islam Babu, had prayed for bail, but after it was denied the court fixed a bail hearing date on March 20. Appearing sick and depressed, Galib appealed to the magistrate for three days of rest. The Magistrate denied, however, ordering him to submit a petition through the jailer. Galib was brought to Gaibandha from the Joint Interrogation Cell (JIC) in Dhaka on March 19, ending a ten-day police remand as granted by the Gaibandha Magistrate court on March 9. Sirajul Islam Babu, Galib's lawyer, met briefly with him in the court hazat to discuss the progress of the cases. Galib was also visited at the court hazat by his son, Ahmed Abdullah Najib. Shamsul Alam, the former president of Ahle Hadith Jubo Sangha, Rajshahi University said, "He (Galib) is the victim of a conspiracy from his opponents and also incorporated in false cases."
