United People's Democratic Front (UPDF) spokesperson Angya
Marma has condemned the arrest of a UPDF member named Sujan Barua in the
Bayezid area of Chattogram.
In the statement released to the media today, Tuesday (1 July
2025), Angya Marma said that Sujan Barua had traveled to Chattogram from his
workplace in Lakshmichhari, Khagrachhari, for medical treatment. He was
arrested last evening by members of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) and Ansar
forces.
The UPDF leader stated that there was no previous case or
arrest warrant against Sujan Barua. He alleged that in order to portray him as
a terrorist, security personnel dressed him in military attire, placed weapons
in his hands, took photographs, and then handed him over to Bayezid police
station.
In the statement, he described Sujan Barua’s arrest as part
of a deliberate campaign of political repression and demanded his immediate and
unconditional release.
