Bangladeshi authorities say three leaders of recent protests who were forcibly removed from the hospital by plainclothes detectives on Friday have been taken into custody for their own safety.
The three students include Nahid Islam, the head of the protest group Students Against Discrimination, and two other senior members. Islam earlier this week told AFP news agency he was being treated at the hospital in the capital, Dhaka, for injuries police inflicted on him during an earlier round of detention.
The trio coordinated recent nationwide street rallies that triggered a police crackdown during which at least 200 people are estimated to have died.
When a government announces they have 'arrested someone for their own safety' its a lie. They've been arrested because the government sees them as a threat to their rule. Its straight from the authoritarian governing play book.
