"Hundreds of martyrs’ sacrifice enabled free Eid celebration in Bangladesh: Nahid Islam

Opposition Chief Whip and convener of the National Citizen Party (NCP), Nahid Islam, on Friday extended Eid greetings to the country’s people, saying the opportunity to celebrate Eid in a free environment came through the sacrifices of hundreds of martyrs.

In a message issued in the evening, Nahid greeted Bangladeshi muslims at home and abroad on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, saying, 'Eid Mubarak.'

Referring to Eid-ul-Fitr as the largest religious festival of the muslims world following a month of fasting and spiritual discipline, Nahid said the festival fosters unity by bridging social divides and strengthening bonds of harmony, UNB reports.

'This festival teaches us peace, compassion and brotherhood, removing hatred and division, and bringing tranquility to our hearts,' he said.

Describing this as the second Eid-ul-Fitr in a post-fascist era, Nahid said many leaders and activists of anti-fascist political forces had been deprived of the true joy of Eid for over a decade and a half. 'We must not forget that it is through the sacrifices of hundreds of martyrs that we can celebrate Eid today in a free environment.'

He urged people to stand beside the families of those who sacrificed everything for a ‘fascism-free Bangladesh’ and to support injured activists, calling it a moral responsibility."

In the #KedichemAntiFascistRiot, #ThisDayInHistory in 1986, Dutch #antifa disrupted a meeting to reconcile two #FarRight factions, burning them out. A smoke-bomb was thrown in and a fire started. 72 #antifascists were arrested but few were prosecuted, and merger talks collapsed.

If you wanted to, you could count all the blobs in this video to get an idea of how wrong the The Met's "only 50,000 people" bollocks is.
If they're so bad at judging crowds is that why Hillsborough happened? /s

In #WellingStation on #ThisDayInHistory in 2009, 40 members of an #antifa group in #London attacked #neonazis on their way to a gig organized by #BloodAndHonour. In addition to six #antifascists arrested then, dozens more were picked up in raids later due to #police infiltration.

Headquarters for the #BritishUnionOfFascists were attacked by 300 #communist #antifascists on #ThisDayInHistory in 1933, who gleefully used iron bars to wreck the offices until police arrived to save them. The #fascists were subsequently asked to vacate the building by its owner.

How do we turn more "not fascists" into #AntiFascists?

The #ArdeatineMassacre was on #ThisDayInHistory in 1944. A #Nazi reprisal policy said that ten civilians would die for every #fascist killed, so when 33 soldiers were killed by #partisans the day before, 335 prisoners, many #antifascists, were marched to #ArdeatineCaves and shot.
