At the press conference Alam told to the journalists that if someone threatened a citizen in front of the police in daylight that is really shameful for our system. And after this threat he is forced to ride in a Microbus instead of the bi-cycle.

I am very sorry for such a threat, no one has the right to threaten the life of someone who exposes his photographs, his art or his thought, that is barbaric.
Maestro, you have my support and respect, also has my sympathy.
