Emdadul Haque Milon was arrested for a Facebook post expressing his concern about the decision to extend a State invitation to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit Bangladesh. Accused under the draconian Digital Security Act, he could face up to 7 years’ imprisonment on vague charges of “deteriorating law and order”. Detained solely for exercising his right to freedom of expression, Emdadul Haque Milon is a prisoner of conscience and must be immediately and unconditionally released.
