Hasina condemns police action on nurse

In a statement last night Hasina protested baton charge by police on the agitating nurses. The 'barbaric police attack' on the nurses exposed the ruling party's autocratic character, she said.

She demanded of the government to meet the legitimate demands of the agitating nurses immediately.

"The nurses also faced such police atrocities earlier… the autocrat alliance government is trying to make their grip of misrule steady by gagging the voice of people," she said.

Hasina said the government of Khaleda Zia could not stay in power through torture and repression in the past when people's united resistance had forced her to quit power.
