Bangladesh Government strongly #condemns the deplorable act of #desecrating the national flag of #Bangladesh and the burning of the effigy of the Hon’ble Chief Advisor during #violent #protests outside the Deputy High Commission of Bangladesh in Kolkata

Well said!

What is most disingenuous about the intense Hindutva lobbying effort on #Bangladesh is that it is not really about protecting minorities. By this point it is well established that the alleged “genocide” against hindus in Bangladesh is part of a disinformation effort to undermine the interim government.

The goal of this effort is to rehabilitate @albd1971 and Sheikh Hasina to pave the way for their return to power. Why do they want Hasina back? The answer is simple. They don’t trust the Bangladeshi people to choose their own leaders and instead want to install a government that advances India’s interests.

The other main line of attack for the Hindutva lobby is to brand anyone who supports the interim government and who fought against Hasina as an islamist. It is ironic that those ostensibly fighting for religious tolerance are themselves bigots.

Today, I took the Oath of Citizenship and officially became a CANADIAN CITIZEN.

I landed in Canada for the first time in 2018 (for my MSc) with a Full-ride Scholarship from the Mastercard Foundation at @mcgillu. Canada and Montreal, in particular, welcomed me with joy, and it has been an amazing journey since then.

It's an Honor of a lifetime to say that I'm now a Canadian and am so glad to be part of this beautiful country.

Looking back at my journey, I have received help from many people and am passionate about paying it forward.

A massive thank you to the @MastercardFdn Scholarship, which sponsored my MSc and provided professional development support.

I'm so grateful for the fantastic support of friends and family. A massive thank you to my parents and siblings for all their support over the years—I probably wouldn't be here without them. To my beautiful wife, THANK YOU so much for all your support. We've been through a lot together, and it can only get better from here.

The highlight of my ceremony today was having both my mum and wife present at the event. I couldn't have imagined a better way to celebrate❤️🥰

Many thanks to my PhD supervisor, @com_ecology— I appreciate all your help and support. I'm proud to say I became both a Permanent Resident and a Canadian Citizen in Pedro's lab (2 years & few months apart).

If you're from a humble background (like myself), I hope this encourages and motivates you not to give up; keep pushing, and you'll win. I'm so rooting for you all🙌.

Alhamdulilah🙏

Some still pictures from 18 to 20 July in Bangladesh.

[David Bergman @TheDavidBergman]

The BBC Bengali service (@bbcbangla) are reporting that in the early houses of Saturday 20 July, Bangladesh law enforcing authorities (specifically the Detective Branch of the Police) picked up Nahid Islam one of the student coordinators of the quota reform movement from his friend's house and subjected him to "physical and mental torture". Islam, who is now being treated in hospital, is quoted in the article as saying: "At that time I was blindfolded with three to four layers of cloth [over my eyes] and handcuffed. After some time I was taken out of the car and taken to a room in a house. I was interrogated and then subjected to mental and physical torture. At one point I fainted. After that I have no memory," He was released the following day. He said that when he was taken from his friends house, he saw "three-four cars including police and BGB [Border Guard Bangladesh] cars outside the house."

I’m deeply concerned by the ongoing violence in Bangladesh.

The ongoing loss of life – including attacks on student protesters – is troubling and unacceptable.

Democratic freedoms and the rule of law are essential and must be respected.

As the headlines of a global tech outage humble the world, praying for our brothers and sisters in Bangladesh who are in complete black out and standing with them in solidarity.

BREAKING: Bangladesh has imposed a CURFEW and has deployed the ARMY to control ongoing protests against PM Hasina's authoritarian rule.

The death toll since Monday has climbed to at least 105.

Stay tuned.
