এবার প্রকাশ্যে যুবককে ধা*রালো অ"স্ত্র দিয়ে খুঁচিয়ে খুঁচিয়ে হ**ত্যা করলো বিএনপি মব সন্ত্রাসী।
সারা দেশে এই ভাবে জামাত শিবির ও বিএনপি জোট বেঁধে খুন হত্যা লুটপাট অপহরণ ও নারী ধর্ষণ কর যাচ্ছে!! থানায় মামলা নিচ্ছেনা, মামলা নিলে পুলিশের চাকুরি থাকেনা।

This page, which is a prominent source of communal disinformation in Bangladesh, now hits a new low by posting this photo of @Yunus_Centre and his daughter with a caption that clearly identifies her as his 'ex wife'.

[Qadaruddin Shishir @Qshishir1]

This man who was holding the Pakistani flag is Mohammad Tahir, a Pakistani student studying in a Bangladeshi University. He is a known rights activist who has been working for years for the Bengali community stranded in Karachi.

[Arifa Rahman Ruma @ArifaRahmanRuma]

Protests against Israel are taking place in Bangladesh with people holding the flag of Pakistan. Can you connect the dots?

@LittonOfficial @Mashrafee

[Qadaruddin Shishir @Qshishir1]

This claim is false. It is not @LittonOfficial's house. The footage shows @Mashrafee's residence burning.

[Baba Banaras™ @RealBababanaras]

This burning house belongs to Bangladeshi Hindu cricketer Liton Das. If an international cricketer is not safe in Bangladesh,think the situation of common Bangladeshi Hindus.

Divide Bangladesh in 2 parts. Make a separate country for Bangladeshi Hindus. This is the only solution.

[Qadaruddin Shishir @Qshishir1]

Although there are media reports about homes of minorities have been torched or vandalised by mob in last 24 hours in BD, no credible reports of any Hindu was killed or raped. 'killing of over 500 Hindus' is untrue.

[Baba Banaras™ @RealBababanaras]

Reportedly Over 500 Hindus have been killed, 100s of Hindu women r@ped, Dozens of Hindu temples have been burnt in ongoing attacks of terrorists of Jamaat-e-Islami in Bangladesh.

Where are those Urduwoodiyas were crying on Gaza, Rafah & Palestine ?

BREAKING Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned: army chief

[Qadaruddin Shishir @Qshishir1]

This profile is fake, as confirmed to me by a high official in the Italian embassy in Dhaka. "We are taking measures against this profile", he told me.

[Nazmul Ahasan @the_nazmul]

Facebook is partially shut down in Bangladesh following a violent crackdown on a student protest by police and ruling party members, resulting in at least six deaths. This echoes past incidents where internet blackouts preceded harsher responses.

[CPJ Asia @CPJAsia]

CPJ condemns the recent smear campaign by Bangladeshi pro-government and Hindu right-wing outlets targeting @AFP’s Bangladesh fact check editor Qadaruddin Shishir (@Qshishir1).

These attacks are apparently aimed at undermining Shishir’s credibility as a journalist and must come to an immediate end.

[Amnesty International South Asia, Regional Office @amnestysasia]

Bangladesh: After verifying evidence of reports of violent attacks against protesters, and speaking to eyewitnesses that shed light on the human rights violations by the law enforcement authorities, @amnesty calls on Bangladeshi government to urgently end the use of unlawful force against protesters.

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

The Bangladesh government is making international pledges on holding free and fair elections even as it unleashes autocratic and abusive attacks.

Police have indiscriminately fired rubber bullets and tear gas, and beat opposition party supporters. https://t.co/7P4QpOcxr4

[Qadaruddin Shishir @Qshishir1]

It's irresponsible for a lawmaker to publish old photos with false captions to delegitimize the protest of an opposition party. (3 of the 4 photos here are old and unrelated to Saturday's protest).

[Mohammad Ali Arafat @MAarafat71]

A glimpse of #BNP’s terrorist activities today. They are coming back to their original character!
