Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh leader Azizul Haque Islamabadi, arrested in a case filed over the Shapla Chattar violence in 2013, has been freed from jail.
Another Hefazat leader, Mohiuddin Rabbani, confirmed Islamabadi's release to Bangla Tribune on Sunday.
He was arrested on April 12 last year from Hathazari of Chittagong.
The release of the organizing secretary of Hefazat comes a day after the organization at a program in Dhaka demanded that all its leaders, who are currently in jail, be freed as soon as possible.
Hefazat leaders placed seven demands and called on the government to address the issues immediately.
