Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire). Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel. Behold! They sat over against the (fire). And they witnessed what they were doing against the believers (i.e. burning them). And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, Worthy of all praise! [TMQ Al-Buruj: 4-8]

Those in the ruling regime and the government of Sheikh Hasina who are leading and directing the repression against Hizb ut-Tahrir will face their predetermined decree, a severe torment in the Hereafter. The government’s repression against the party members and activists is for no reason other than that they believe in Allah (SWT) and carry the call towards His deen. Hizb ut-Tahrir condemns the arrest and remand of thirteen more party members and activists, in the past three days, among whom are a lecturer in a private university and two principals in reputed private schools.

Hizb ut-Tahrir calls upon the Muslims to voice their protests against the government’s tyrannical actions. It is no longer a secret to anyone that the government is going after the party for speaking on behalf of the people of this country and the Muslim Ummah. In particular, we call upon the people of power to stop the government from going after the sincere sons of the Ummah and to fulfill their Islamic obligation of giving the nusrah to the beloved of RasulAllah (SAW).

O the People of Power!

The repression against Hizb ut-Tahrir is part of the conspiracy which the government is hatching at the behest of the imperialist US-India-Britain, against the country and the Muslim Ummah.  It is part of the same conspiracy which made the government execute the orders of their masters to carry out the massacre of our officers in Pilkhana. You are well aware of this. Do not to stay silent as if what is happening to the Ummah doesn’t concern you. And we remind all of you, this also includes those in the security forces and the intelligence, that you took an oath to protect this Ummah, not to protect the treacherous rulers and government. If you do not stand by the sincere sons of the Ummah and the beloved of RasulAllah (SAW), then you will lose in this dunya when the Khilafah, which is about to return soon insha’Allah, will account you. And in the Hereafter you will be with the treacherous rulers.

On the Day their faces will be turned upside down in the fire, they will say: “Oh, would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger.” And they will say: “Our Lord! Verily we obeyed our chiefs and our great ones, and they misled us from the (Right) path. “Our Lord! Give them double penalty and curse them with a very mighty curse!” [TMQ Al-Ahzab: 66-68]
