Gono Odhikar Parishad Convener Reza Kibria and Member Secretary Nurul Haq Nur said in a joint statement, "Engineer Inamul Haque was physically assaulted for talking about democracy and voting rights.
"Every citizen has the right to speak, criticise and hold public meetings about the country's politics. But the brutal physical assault and harassment to which M Inamul Haque was subjected is clearly a violation of a citizen's right to freedom of expression and right to hold meetings," they added.
The leaders called upon the law enforcement agencies to immediately find the culprits and ensure punishment.
