Hizb ut-Tahrir organized a demonstration today protesting against the arrest of the party's Official Spokesman. The demonstration started outside the High Court and ended at the main gate of National Press Club. At about 2.00am today (April 20, 2010) the corrupt oppressive Awami League government, agents of US-India-Britain arrested Hizb ut-Tahrir's Official Spokesman in Bangladesh, Mohiuddin Ahmed. Hizb ut-Tahrir strongly condemns this arrest and demands his immediate and unconditional release. The government arrested him after their failure to deter the party by banning the party, false propaganda, harassing and imprisoning its members and activists; and keeping Mohiuddin Ahmed under house arrest for the past six months. The party continued its work of bravely speaking on behalf of the people's interests, and exposing US-India-British designs regarding Bangladesh. The imperialists and their loyal regime in Bangladesh know that Hizb ut-Tahrir is the only obstacle in the way of their evil plans against the Muslims and it is the only party that is serious in its work for removing the imperialist influence from the country by uprooting their agents, and the corrupt capitalist system; and re-establishing the mighty Khilafah "Caliphate" state. 

The imperialists are going full steam ahead with their plans to subjugate Bangladesh. Particularly the leader of the crusaders, the avowed enemy of Islam, America after creating destruction in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan and with her hands drenched in Muslim blood has now set her sight on Bangladesh. This is clear from the military exercises by her murderous soldiers being conducted in the country, one after another. In fact the arrest of Mohiuddin Ahmed comes no less than a week after the Hizb ut-Tahrir protested against the planned US military exercise, ‘Tiger Shark-2' which will take place late May. Similarly the banning of the party came no less than a week after the party protested against US plans to hold ‘Tiger Shark-1' which took place in November, 2009. They do not want any further voice of protests against their plans for ‘Tiger Shark-3' in July and ‘Tiger Shark-4' in September and numerous others that they are planning.

The Americans, the British and the Indians should know and their loyal regime in Bangladesh should know that the Mushriks of Quraysh also put sanctions on the Prophet of Islam (SAW) and his Sahabah (RA) before they did and Allah (SWT) freed them. And He made the deen of Islam victorious over all other deens. And they should know that Allah (SWT) and the Muslim Ummah are Hizb ut-Tahrir's support and strength whereas their support is Shaitan. The enemies of Islam all over the world have not succeeded in silencing Hizb ut-Tahrir by banning and repression. Instead the party has become the voice of the Muslim Ummah and hundreds of thousands of Muslims are uniting with Hizb ut-Tahrir to liberate the Ummah. The party will continue its struggle together with the Ummah. Allah (SWT) willing the Khilafah "Caliphate" will be re-established and the disbelieving imperialists will not succeed in their plans.

"Indeed, they planned their plot, and their plot was with Allah, though their plot was not such as to remove the mountains from their places" [TMQ Ibrahim: 46]

Today Hizb ut-Tahrir conducted press conferences in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. Lahore press conference was addressed by the spokesman of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Pakistan Naveed Butt whilst Hizb's deputy spokesmen Shahzad Shaikh and Imran Yousafzai addressed the conferences in Karachi and Lahore respectively.

      The US embassy in Bangladesh issued a press release on 11 April, 2010 stating that "the U.S. and Bangladesh militaries are participating in a joint "Tiger Shark" exercise in the Chittagong and Sylhet divisions through late-May." Members and supporters of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Chittagong organized a demonstration today against the planned exercise. They chanted slogans that the United States is an enemy state and called upon the Muslims to raise their voice against the joint exercise. Indeed the US works round the clock to subvert the interests of the Islamic Ummah. This joint exercise and other so-called security cooperation are nothing less than a malicious design by America to prevent the rise of Islam and subjugate the Muslims so that she can implement her strategic design for the region. America considers Bangladesh's strategic location between China and India as vital to her regional plan. Therefore America wants to consolidate her foothold in Bangladesh and subjugate its Muslims which would allow her to achieve her own selfish interests to contain China and closely monitor India.

On top of that we are witnessing how America is relentless in her crusade against the rise of Islam in the world including this region. Thus American presence in the region is part of her design to delay the re-establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" in Pakistan, Bangladesh or Indonesia where the call for Khilafah "Caliphate" by Hizb ut-Tahrir has gained strong support among the people and the party is close to achieving its goal. America knows very well that the return of the Khilafah "Caliphate" would be the beginning of her end - the end of her crusade against the Muslims and her dominion in the world.

The people participating in the demonstration called upon the Muslims to protest against the government's subservience to America; and to work for the re-establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate". They urged the people of power to refuse to cooperate with the colonialist political and military officials. If the American enemy is not stopped immediately and decisively she will achieve an upper hand and inflict great harm upon the Ummah. Allah (SWT) warned the Muslims,

"Should they gain the upper hand over you, they would behave to you as enemies, and stretch forth their hands and their tongues against you with evil, and they desire that you should disbelieve." [TMQ Surah Al-Mumtahanah: 2]
