Angry protesters chase Rokeya Prachi at Dhanmondi 32

Entertainment Report :

On August 14 evening, National Award-winning noted actress Rokeya Prachi accused miscreants of attacking her while she attempted to light
candles at the memorial outside the Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi 32.
She further claimed that the attackers especially targeted her.
Rokeya Prachi took up a position at the charred site, announcing her peaceful vigil on social media. “I am here at Dhanmondi 32,” she wrote, “Let justice be served for all murders, all chaos. Let there be justice for the erasure of Bengali history. I am here. We also want justice. I will remember the history of independence and Bangabandhu in this peaceful protest. I am at the burned Dhanmondi 32.
Joy Bangla. Joy Bangabandhu.” In commemoration of Bangabandhu’s death anniversary on August 15, Prachi planned a candle-lighting ceremony for the evening. However, the actress confirmed that she and those with her were attacked during the event to media.
The actress herself verified this to media stating, “At around 7:15pm, we were suddenly ambushed. We were carrying out our protest, but then we were surrounded and viciously beaten.”
Prachi, speaking through tears, accused the attackers of specifically targeting her. “They came for me,”
she said, her voice breaking. “Each one of them seemed educated, they spoke in refined language. From their manner, I knew they were not
ordinary criminals,” she explained.
Despite the attacks faced by the actress, few artistes or technicians have publicly supported her or protested on social media. Nonetheless, celebrities such as Mahiya Mahi, Ipshita Shabnam Srabonty and Symon Sadik have condemned the attacks on the noted actress.
After learning of Rokeya Prachi’s injury, Symon Sadik posted on Facebook at around 9:00pm on August 14, saying, “I strongly
condemn and protest the shocking attack on actress Rokeya Prachi
at Dhanmondi 32.”
Actress Mahiya Mahi posted, “The attack on National Film Award-winning actress Rokeya Prachi at Dhanmondi 32 is unacceptable.
I condemn and protest this incident.”
Actress Srabonty condemned the attack and criticised those who remained silent during the protest. She stated, “I condemn the attack on Rokeya Prachi. This incident is unacceptable! If those same people had condemned the shooting of the protesting students, it would have shown that they are truly human.”
