⚠️ Update: Network data show #Bangladesh has now been offline for over 48 hours after authorities impose a nation-scale internet shutdown in a bid to quell student protests ⏱️
The blackout continues to hinder human rights observers and independent media at a critical time.
We, the Bangladeshi students at institutions all over the USA, are signing this statement to condemn the atrocities against Bangladeshi students and citizens by the government.

#Bangladesh has now been cut off from the world for over six hours, with a nation-scale internet shutdown in effect amid student protests.
The disruption prevents communication and efforts to document human rights violations.

Tens of thousands of Bangladeshi citizens joined students who have been protesting a quota system for government jobs that benefits certain groups, including the descendants of those who fought for independence from Pakistan. Here's what to know. https://t.co/4eN5ZHmgwE
Presented my research on community-based water management through the lens of design principles, collective action and moral economies for water at the 7th Ostrom Workshop Conference at Indianan University Bloomington.
#WOW7
Getting water from a kitchen faucet is a tremendous privilege. Remember that. The #climate crisis is a water crisis. And the impacts will be global. What is happening in the global south is only the beginning. Adaptation is urgent.
Cyclone Remal hits coastal #Bangladesh last night, with wind speeds ranging from 90 to 130 km per hour, whipping tidal surges of 8 to 16 feet above normal tides. Dams burst, flooding vast regions in the coastal districts leaving millions out of food, water, electricity!
Honored to be the John Hope Franklin Asst. Prof. of Environmental Justice at the Nicholas School. Deeply thankful to my mentors, colleagues, community partners, and friends. Excited to continue advancing projects centering social and environmental justice.
Pa’ lante! 🌸✨
