Enamul freed, alleges police torture

Staff Correspondent
After 82 days of detention, journalist Enamul Haque Chowdhury was finally freed from the Dhaka Central Jail yesterday.
One of his colleagues received him at the jail gate at 8.00am and brought him to the Reuters office in the city. He is a stringer of Reuters.
Sharing his jail experience, Enamul told The Daily Star, "Initially I used to cry. I was not allowed to meet anyonenot even my family members and lawyers."
"I was kept in the prison like a chicken is kept in a cage. I was even put inside a condemned cell," he added.
Replying to a question whether the police tortured him while he was on remand, he said, "Who does not know that police torture? I was also tortured. I am still bearing those marks even after treatment two and a half months ago."
The Reuters journalist added, "I was blindfolded during the interrogations. So I did not see the men who questioned me."
Enamul was released as the High Court on February 26 granted him bail in the Ajanta cinema blast case. But the bail order took six days to reach the jail. Earlier on January 26, he got bail in the Chhayabani cinema blast case.
After being released early yesterday morning, he moved to the High Court to seek anticipatory bail apprehending that he might be implicated in two other cases of
bomb blasts in Mymensingh. The court granted him anticipatory bail in those two cases till the filling of the charge sheet.
Dr Kamal Hossain appeared for Enamul and he was assisted by Barrister Tanjibul Alam and Sajawar Hossain.
Police arrested him without warrant on December 13 under Section 54 of the CrPC by virtually holding his wife hostage, following filing of a Reuters story on December 7 bomb blasts at four cinemas in Mymensingh.
Enamul quoted the home minister in the story, but the home minister denied having talked to the Reuters journalist on the issue. Later, it transpired that Enamul had talked to a different person on phone, mistaking him to be the home minister.
Enamul was put under a three-day remand upon his arrest under Section 54 of the CrPC. His confessional statement was recorded in the court on December 17.He was shown arrested in the Chhayabani Cinema bomb blast case on December 19.
When he obtained bail in the Chhayabani Cinema blast case, he was again shown arrested on January 28 in the Ajanta Cinema case.
