Shaykh Delwar Hossain Sayeedi, the vice president of Bangladesh’s opposition Jamaat-e-Islami party and a former member of parliament, has died whilst in jail.
Sayedee, 83, was a prominent Islamic scholar and speaker in Bangladesh, and was taken to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University in Dhaka on Sunday afternoon after suffering a heart attack. He passed away yesterday and his subsequent janazah was attended by huge crowds.
Shaykh Sayeedi had been in prison for 13 years and was facing several health complications. He passed away at hospital while undergoing treatment, Brig. Gen. Md Rezaur Rahman, the director of BSMMU, confirmed to the media.
Shortly after, thousands of Jamaat supporters began gathering at the hospital and chanting slogans against the government for keeping him in prison in “false” cases and due to “motivated” court verdicts.
They chanted “Allahu Akbar,” with large numbers of police deployed. “We won’t let the blood of Sayeedi go in vain,” supporters shouted, with many blaming the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Jamaat-e-Islami said in a condolence message that “a grave injustice has been done to him by imprisoning him for life in a false and fabricated case.”
They added in a statement: “One of the leaders of the world Islamic movement, internationally renowned mufassir Quran, famous alim deen, Bangladesh Jamaat Islami naib amir, and international renowned Islamic scholar and multiple author Allama Delawar Hossain Sayeedi Rahimahullah ended his world tour tonight at 8pm in response to the call of great the Rabbi Karim… We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return…
