#WATCH| as @UN_Spokesperson responds to my question: "We are closely monitoring the situation in #Bangladesh with deep concern. Peaceful protest is a fundamental human right. We call on the Government of Bangladesh to protect the demonstrators against any form of threat or violence, and especially those who may be in protesting peacefully who may need extra protection, such as young people or children or people with disabilities.â @amnestysasia@meeganguly@State_SCA@TLHumanRights@KerryKennedyRFK@MujMash@gerryshih #HumanRights #BangladeshProtests
