Bangladesh: Help Release Student Activist - URGENT ACTION by October 14, 2016

 Amnesty International

Dilip Roy, a 22-year-old student activist, has been arrested in Rajshahi in Bangladesh after making two Facebook posts criticising Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. He has been denied bail and could face up to 14 years in prison.

 Write a letter, send an email, call, fax or tweet:

• Calling on the Bangladeshi authorities to immediately drop the charges against Dilip Roy and unconditionally release him;
• Urging them to stop harassing, charging and imprisoning activists who have done nothing but peacefully exercise their right to freedom of expression; and
• Urging them to repeal Section 57 of the ICT Act and other laws that are not compatible with Bangladesh’s international human rights obligations.
