Bangladesh rally demands justice for jailed baul singer Abul Sarkar
A cultural rally in Bangladesh has demanded justice for attacks on religious sites, artistes, and performers. Speakers called for the immediate release of baul singer Abul Sarkar, who was convicted and detained on the same day in November 2025. The event also highlighted concerns over security and government accountability.
On November 20, 2025, Abul Sarkar was arrested by Detective Branch officers in Madaripur. The detention followed a case filed by Mufti Md Abdullah, leading to Sarkar’s conviction at the Old Bailey court in London later that day.
The rally ended with repeated calls for Sarkar’s freedom and broader reforms. Organisers insisted on stronger security measures for cultural events and religious gatherings. They also stressed the need for accountability within government institutions to prevent future attacks.
