This is how @StateDeptSpox
responded to #Bangladesh’s autocrat #Hasina’s departure. The US will support the upcoming interim government of Bangladesh, which should be based on democratic principles, the rule of law, and the will of the people.
I am Hindu, and my friends from every religion in Bangladesh are here to protect me.
We built this Bangladesh together. We are united.
It’s Loud and Clear

Can you imagine what is happening here in #Bangladesh at midnight?
Police and govt. Agencies are going door to door to find the students and protesters, torturing and abducting them. Finally, either killing or disappearing them!

Over 160 people have been killed as students and other protesters clashed with security forces in Bangladesh.
Students peacefully protesting job allocation quotas were attacked by government supporters and security forces, sparking the deadly clashes. https://t.co/tElA9d2dr2
I hesitated to share this video, but it's important to witness this Police brutality. The right side of the victims face ia completely blown away by a bullet, and the poor fellow was still breathing. It appears to be a close-range shot, possibly from a shotgun. Incredible!!! https://t.co/LcpjGhHCyw
How can a regime be so extremely brutal and inhumane? Just look at Sheikh Hasina- this video shows the extent of her barbarity in her absolute power. This footage is from just after a ‘shoot on sight’ order.
THREAD: Bangladesh has used at least one UN-marked vehicle to quell student quota protests. We found pictures taken in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, on July 21st showing the UN insignia on an armored personnel carrier.
US Ambassador questioned #Bangladesh Foreign Minister on omitted police violence footage against protesters. #UN rep inquired about alleged misuse of UN vehicles in crackdown. Minister silent on UN query, as per #AFP@nytimes@washingtonpost@hrw@Reuters

Bangladesh’s PM Hasina is using the tyrant’s handbook with armed troops, digital blackout, and “shoot-on-sight” orders to crush student protestors. Bangladeshi Americans are blocked from determining safety of loved ones. Hasina must face consequences for the “busloads” of the dead on her hands.

The Supreme Court of Bangladesh has scaled back a controversial government job quota system, which triggered deadly nationwide unrest over the past week.

This is what Sheikh Hasina and Police are doing to the protesters. She has turned off all phone networks so that no one can share these videos in social media. Bangladesh is in need of serious help. Sheikh Hasina is a war criminal.
