The victim filed a case against three persons named Ismail Hossain Jewel, Javed Mahmud, Ariz Ali in this incident yesterday, Friday, June 21.Incidentally, since the last two months, an organized group has been threatening journalist Roni through various means. At one point, this attack was carried out by some people led by Ismail Hossain Jewell on June 19 at around 10 pm in the Larg da Intendente of Lisbon.It is known that Jewel Portugal is the co-legal affairs secretary of Awami League and Javed Mahmud and Ariz Ali are the ex-officio leaders. Following the case, investigations and legal proceedings against the attackers have been initiated.
Meanwhile, various social and social organizations in Portugal, including the Portugal Bangla Press Club, strongly condemned and protested the attack on journalist Roni.
Bangladesh Daily and Dhaka Times Portugal representative journalist Roni said that for the past three months, some miscreants posing as leaders and activists of Portugal Awami League have been threatening him in various ways. On the night of June 19, some people led by Jewel attacked him with the intention of killing him. After this incident, he filed a case seeking security and justice in his life.
President of Portugal Bangladesh Club Russell Ahmed said, "We are shocked by their behavior and attacks on European soil." They are making opponents of journalists from some group or some trouble at personal level. A few days ago, the same people went to the iftar party of the press club and created a mess. These incidents are very sad. We strongly condemn and protest. I want justice.
Abul Hossain Asad, General Secretary of Portugal Literature Association, said that such an attack is really difficult. We all live outside the country and want to stay together as a team. But for some mischievous people, the name and reputation of the country is being ruined on foreign soil. On the other hand, the image of the party is getting damaged. Soon such mischievous people should be permanently expelled from the community and party.
Masum Ahmed, a young entrepreneur and community figure in Portugal, said, I strongly condemn this attack. They dared to attack with the help of a group of Awami League. According to my knowledge, there are leaders of Portugal Awami League who have more than 10 such cases in their name in this country. Because of these people, Awami League, the most traditional and reputable political party of Bangladesh, is getting a bad name.
President of All Europe Awami League M Nazrul Islam said that if anyone of Awami League is involved in any kind of assault case, action will be taken against them according to the constitution.
