Zainul Abdin Farroque is a politician and a former member of parliament for Noakhali-2 and Noakhali-1.[1] [2]
Zainul Abdin Farroque was born on 10 December 1949.[3]
In 2009, Farroque was elected to parliament as an opposition member and appointed the opposition whip. On 6 July 2011 he was injured by members of Bangladesh Police in an opposition demonstration near the Bangladesh Parliament.[4] He sued the police officers involved and filled a 100 million taka lawsuit against the government. The case was dismissed after investigators submitted a Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Hasibul Haque blaming Farroque for the incident.[5]
Farroque was arrested on 3 July 2017 by Bangladesh Police on cases that accused him of sabotage during protests against the government.[6] He was granted bail on 6 September 2017 in two cases over protests against the Bangladesh Awami League government.[7] He is an adviser to former prime minister and chairman of Bangladesh Nationalist Party, Khaleda Zia.[8]
