On Tuesday night, while this correspondent was waiting at the Detective Branch's (DB) office in Minto Road, the distraught family of businessman M. Ahmed* rushed inside. “He was picked up from our Lalmatia house by the DB police around 8:30 pm, for writing in support of Shahidul Alam on Facebook,” claims his wife.

A senior DB officer present on spot was overheard saying this to Ahmed's elderly mother: “It is not our job to teach your son what is right and what is wrong, but when your son 'likes' and 'shares' this and that on Facebook, we have to step in. Couldn't you teach your son the difference between right and wrong?”

Just out of curiousity, we went to his Facebook profile to verify what the police were talking about. M. Ahmed's profile is extremely tame compared to many of the supporters of the movement—he had shared a few news articles all relating to the arrest of Shahidul Alam and a few statuses authored by other people. He himself had authored no posts providing analysis of the movement or criticising the government's handling of it. Ahmed was released the next day after 17 hours of detention.
