Mosharraf Hossain, President of Intern Doctors’ Association, said they decided to boycott Ibn Sina medicines at a meeting on Sunday night, responding to the call from Shahbagh’s ‘Ganajagaran Mancha’ to reject products and institutions linked to Jamaat. Mir Kashem Ali, who is behind bars on charges of ‘crimes against humanity’ in 1971, is a member of the board of directors of Ibn Sina Pharmaceuticals. He is also the marketing director of the company.
