Hizb ut Tahrir strongly condemns the brutal police attack upon the party's members, activists, supporters and the pious Muslims who were marching towards Dhaka's Muktangon to join the party's pre-announced Public Meeting and Demonstration on Friday (27th December, 2013). Upon tyrant Hasina's orders, the police shot at them in an indiscriminate manner. They arrested almost forty of them and wounded many more, some of whom were shot at point blank range after their arrest. What is worse is that the police searched out the wounded who were in nearby hospitals undergoing treatment and arrested seven of them. Tyrant Hasina and the police were joined by her entourage in some of the deceitful media outlets who acted as mouthpieces for the government and police by publishing utter lies that the party members, activists, supporters and the pious Muslims hurled bricks, stones and crude bombs at the police.

Hizb ut Tahrir warns tyrant Hasina, her entourage in the security forces and these lying media outlets that you will face a severe punishment for your brutalities and lies. The Khilafah "Caliphate" state, which will be established inevitably with the material support of the sincere Muslim officers (and that will be soon insha'Allah), will not spare you without accounting you strongly.

And Sheikh Hasina together with her aides in decision making will face a severe torment in the Hereafter.

(إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ)

"Verily, those who put into trial the believing men and believing women (by torturing them and burning them), and then do not turn in repentance (to Allah), they will have the torment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the burning Fire." [Surah Al-Buruj: 10]

As for those in the security services, you are well aware that the government's repression against the members and activists of Hizb ut Tahrir is for no reason other than that they believe in Allah (swt) and carry the call towards His Deen. If you think that Allah (swt) will not account you for your actions because you are executing orders, then listen to what Allah (swt) says,

(يَوْمَ تُقَلَّبُ وُجُوهُهُمْ فِي النَّارِ يَقُولُونَ يَا لَيْتَنَا أَطَعْنَا اللَّهَ وَأَطَعْنَا الرَّسُولَ وَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّا أَطَعْنَا سَادَتَنَا وَكُبَرَاءَنَا فَأَضَلُّونَا السَّبِيلَ)

"On the Day their faces will be turned upside down in the fire, they will say: "Oh, would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger." And they will say: "Our Lord! Verily we obeyed our chiefs and our great ones, and they misled us from the (Right) path." [Surah Al-Ahzab: 66-67]

As for the media outlets, we ask you have you no shame in publishing outright lies. Your own pictures and videos do not show a single piece of brick or stone or any traces of cocktails. We call upon you to pay heed to this hadith of Muhammad (saw) if you want to avoid the punishment of the Hereafter, «مِن أفرى الفرى أن يُريَ الرجل عينيه ما لم تريا» "The worst of lies is to pretend to have seen something which he has not seen." [Bukhari]

Finally, we make it clear, once again, that the Hasina regime will not succeed in its attempt to silence Hizb ut Tahrir and the people no matter how many rounds of bullets it fired or by any other means of oppression. Rather the resolve of the party and the people will be strengthened and they will increase their efforts to bring this regime's downfall with the Help of Allah (swt).

(الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمْ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزَادَهُمْ إِيمَانًا وَقَالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ)

"Those (i.e. believers) unto whom the people said, "Verily the people have gathered against you (a great army), therefore, fear them." But it (only) increased them in Faith, and they said: "Allah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us)." [Surah Ali-Imran: 173]
