Mamunul files GD against Facebook

Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis chief and Joint Secretary General of Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh Mamunul Haque has filed a General Diary (GD) with Mohammadpur Police Station in Dhaka against Facebook for their "unilateral, undemocratic and discriminatory treatment" towards him.

Kazi Rafiq, officer-in-charge of the police station, confirmed the matter.

Mamunul alleged that his personal Facebook account and official page are being repeatedly removed and suspended.

In the GD, Mamunul said: "For the past several months, my name, statements, and photos have been unfairly restricted and blocked on Facebook."

According to a statement issued by Hasan Junaid, publicity secretary and media coordinator of Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis, whenever Mamunul's name, statements or photos are published, party pages, media outlets and personal accounts face unreasonable restrictions.
