Arrest of Moja Losss? admin
The recent arrest of an admin of the satirical Facebook page Moja Losss? drew huge flak from its fans. Refayet Ahmed, the admin of Moja Losss?, has been accused of carrying out anti-state and anti-government propaganda. Moja Losss? is basically an entertainment page that seeks to amuse people. I don't think that there's any reason to take it so seriously.

Being a regular follower of the popular Bangladeshi satirical Facebook page Moja Losss?, I believe that it is one of the most entertaining satirical pages I've come across. From making humorous Facebook posts to boldly attempting to catch a wanted culprit, Moja Losss? was unique in the way it tackled social issues. Apparently the admin of this particular page got arrested for making “anti-government posts”.  The news is indeed outrageous and it has already created a stir on social media.

Moja Losss? has always committed to doing the right thing. Capturing an admin of this page would only obstruct freethinking and lead to a violation of freedom of speech in a democratic country. The moment the government attempts to put a stop to the activities of freethinkers, they are no longer a practicing democracy. The government must realise that there is a fine line between mockery and humour.
