Mass Demonstrations in Bokakhat
Thousands of concerned citizens recently gathered in the town of Bokakhat to voice their strong opposition to the ongoing detention of prominent indigenous and human rights advocate Pranab Doley. The large-scale mobilization brought together a wide array of participants, including community leaders, political figures, and representatives from numerous regional organizations.
Demands for Unconditional Release
The central focus of the massive street demonstration was to urge authorities to grant an immediate and unconditional release to Doley. Protesters expressed deep concern over his current legal status and the decision to keep him confined under the National Security Act. Organizers of the event emphasized that his continued detention is unjust and represents an alarming suppression of civil liberties and peaceful advocacy.
Background on the Detained Activist
Pranab Doley has built a long-standing reputation as a dedicated defender of indigenous populations, land rights, and environmental justice within the region. His tireless work on behalf of marginalized communities has made him a widely recognized figure.

Speakers at the gathering called for continued mobilization and peaceful pressure until authorities review the case and restore Doley’s freedom.
