Narayanganj's young rapper, Hannan Hossain Shimul, made headlines with his explosive rap song "Awaj Uda," which led to his arrest and subsequent imprisonment for 12 days. He was released after the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government, brought down by the student-led uprising.
Rapper Hannan Hossain Shimul, who has recently come into the spotlight for his hit rebel rap "Awaaz Utha", was arrested on July 25 in Narayanganj's Bhuighor area.
Under the platform titled “Artistes Against Genocide and Oppression”, a diverse group comprising visual artistes, photographers, performance artistes, musicians, poets, writers, researchers, architects, and art organisers, organised this rally of resistance. Their gathering was a response to the recent turmoil surrounding the quota reform protests, which have led to wholesale arrests and indiscriminate killings.
Confirming the arrest, the officer-in-charge (OC) of Fatullah Model Police Station informed The Daily Star that “Hannan was presented before the court and has been granted a two-day remand.” However, specific charges against him were not disclosed by the police.
