On 6 March, the deputy leader of Jama'atul Mujahideen and leader of another Islamist group, Jagrata Muslim Janata (Awakened Muslim Citizens) Bangladesh, Siddiqul Islam (known as Bangla Bhai [Bangla brother]) was arrested in Mymensingh District.
Similarly, the government's recent statement that the bomb blasts in four cinemas in Mymensingh in December 2002 were carried out by the Jama'atul Muhaideen group must be seen as a clear vindication of those writers, academicians and opposition politicians who were subjected to arrest and ill-treatment on allegation of involvement in the bomb blasts.
Their detention and the government's persistent denial that Islamist groups were responsible for the blasts appeared to be not only a move by the government to intimidate its critics, but also helped to divert the course of justice and, effectively, provided impunity from prosecution to the actual perpetrators of the bomb blasts.
