[Mustafa Kamal Akanda]

Dear Friends in Media,

Greetings from Equity & Justice Working Group (EquityBD).

Attached, please find the Bangla and English Press Release and some photos
of today’s event organized by EquityBD along with other Civil Society
Organisations
in solidarity with this event. The speakers criticized IMF Mission's loan
conditions and demanded rationalized subsidies amid inflation. The speakers
also urged resistance against IMF advice that undermines the financial
interests of ordinary people and they also emphasized that subsidies for
electricity, oil, and gas are crucial for the country's people.


We have given the title of the press release as:


Rights-based Civil Society Organizations Criticized IMF Loan Conditions

*Rationalize Subsidies Rather Than Cut*


We are looking forward to your cooperation in covering the event in your
esteemed news agency for the circulation of the demand. You can find
elaborate position papers in both Bangla and English at www.coastbd.net and
www.equitybd.net

For clarity and details please feel free to contact me.


Sincerely
*Mustafa Kamal Akanda (Mr)*
