Using their Facebook page “Basherkella”, Jamaat-Shibir activists are exchanging instructions about how to spread violence in the country as well as keep track of where their activists were demonstrating and fighting law enforcers.

With no less than 90,000 followers, the page is being updated every hour with news on their protests and “actions” in

every district and also with video clips and news clips that suit their purpose.

A member in one post said, “I request all brothers in various divisional towns: shut all rail and road links between Dhaka and the district towns. Remove rail lines and dig deep and straight holes in roads. Shut down communication with all land ports and the Chittagong port. The hartal will be successful and the government will automatically fall."

In another post, another member shared the link of a piece on The Economist's blog Banyan about the war crimes trials and asked all followers of the page to post as many comments on the write-up as possible so that their opinion appears dominant.

A post contains statement of the Jamaat ameer in-charge Makbul Ahmad denying the party's attack on Hindu and other minority communities and accusing the ruling party of carrying out the attacks and arsons and then blaming those on Jamaat.

One follower posted a picture of condemned war criminal Delawar Hossain Sayedee superimposed on the moon saying that between late Friday night and early Saturday, people from Bangladesh to Saudi Arabia saw Sayedee's face on the moon and that it was an omen.

The Basherkella page is a support page of Jamaat-Shibir's original news website basherkella.com. This page was opened on February 12, after or around the time Bangladesh Telecom Regulatory Commission shut the original website along with about a dozen sites that were inciting religious sentiments against the Shahbagh movement that demands capital punishment to all war criminals.

The Facebook page says, “We have another page named basherkella. But unfortunately due to our honesty in sharing what is going on in Bangladesh, it has been taken off in Bangladesh. We are still accessible in other parts of the world."
