Paris, France; March 2, 2025: France-based human rights organization, JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF), strongly condemns the recent discriminatory and hateful remarks made on social media targeting Muntasir Mamun and the LGBTQI+ community. These remarks, made by Hasnat Abdullah (southern region), Sarjis Alam (northern region), the newly formed National Citizens’ Party (NCP), and anti-discrimination movement leader Mahin Sarkar on March 1, 2025, blatantly violate fundamental human rights. Such statements fuel bigotry and intolerance and directly oppose the principles of justice, equality, and human dignity.
JMBF is deeply alarmed by the unjust exclusion of Muntasir Mamun from the National Citizens’ Party (NCP)based on unverified allegations and under pressure from religious extremists. This decision sets a dangerous precedent of intolerance and exclusion, contradicting democratic values and human rights principles that any responsible political entity should uphold.
