Naurin Speaks Out Against Harassment During e-CAB Polls
- Candidate blocked during nomination collection
- Mob creates chaos and political accusations
- Demands neutral investigation and strict action
Hosne Ara Nuri Nawrin, a general secretary candidate for the E-Commerce Association of Bangladesh (E-Cab), faced physical harassment and obstruction while collecting her nomination form. The unpleasant incident occurred on Tuesday, November 11, in front of the E-Cab office. Expressing deep concern and outrage, the victim candidate condemned this planned incident surrounding the professional organization's election held on Friday, November 13.
According to the victim Hosne Ara Nuri Nawrin, she was never involved with any political party. Her complete identity remains that of an entrepreneur, professional, and active worker in the country's e-commerce sector. When she arrived at the office on November 11 to collect her nomination form for the general secretary post, a group of individuals surrounded her and created a mob. Displaying pictures from various e-commerce association programs, they framed political accusations against her and obstructed her nomination collection. Eventually, she had to seek shelter at a police station for her safety.
Hosne Ara Nuri Nawrin further alleged that this incident was neither common nor sudden, but a deliberate attempt to defame her and obstruct her participation in the E-Cab election. Such a disgraceful incident in front of a professional organization's office poses extreme concern for the democratic environment and electoral culture. She demanded a neutral investigation to uncover those instigating behind the scenes and strict action against the culprits under existing laws.
