Witness how a protester was shot in the chest by Hasina's law enforcement. Look, world, you won't have the chance to see the countless bloodshed from your safe distance. We will never forgive your silence, and we will never forget your hypocrisy.

A Dhaka court on Saturday placed Hasnatul Islam Faiyaz, 17, an eleventh grade student of Dhaka College, on a seven-day remand in a case filed with Jatrabari police station, accusing him of killing a cop on July 24 during the quota protest. He just got admitted to Dhaka College after achieving GPA 5 on SSC.
Faiyaz’s uncle Md Shamim, on the premises of the Dhaka chief metropolitan magistrates court, said that Faiyaz was picked up from his house on Wednesday night but produced before the court on Saturday. He mentioned they waited in front of the court everyday, and went to every police station where they denied having custody of him. On the 26th morning, they suddenly spotted him being brought to the court, where he was reportedly being brought from the DB office.
He also alleged that Faiyaz informed them that he was tortured by police at Jatrabari police station after his detention, where he was initially taken into custody.
Faiyaz’s lawyer Md Estiyak Hossain Zipu mentioned that they submitted a petition to the court for holding a hearing at the juvenile court, considering Faiyaz’s age, but the court did not respond to the plea and placed him on a seven-day remand.

Decades later, your story will be one of many remembering the dark day when the government murdered Bangladeshis. But for now, you are the tiger’s twitching paw. You are a fever dream. You are a statistic. You do not exist.

#UN-marked armored personnel carriers and helicopters, which #Bangladesh has in its military inventories, have allegedly been used to suppress quota protests that saw heavy casualties.

Bangladeshi Nobel Peace Price winner Muhammad Yunus, who has been subject to an ongoing campaign of harassment and intimidation over many years, published an appeal to the international community over the crisis in the country.
Millions of Bengalis know that Hasina's regime is authoritarian & she still rules the country since 2009.
Hasina sparked the protests even more by describing the demonstrators with an abusive word known in Bangladesh called "𝑹𝒂𝒛𝒂𝒌𝒂𝒓𝒔 " or traitors, used to refer to those who pretended to help the Pakistani army during the 1971 war !
The majority of our Muslim countries suffer from military or authoritarian regimes, where there is no stability for this Umma before getting rid of these regimes & their dictatorial rulers.

Hundreds of lives have been lost. Your mother, Hasina, ordered the police to use brute force. Her party's general secretary ordered the military to shoot and kill people who defy the curfew. And here you are, chanting the same mantra: 'It's all done by opposition parties.' Are you serious, man? Don't you have the slightest shame? Is there really any opposition in Bangladesh? In the last 15 years, you lot have wiped them off! You have looted the country to the last dime, with no accountability in any sector. People's lives have become miserable. Their voting rights have been snatched away. Enough of all this. It's time to step down.
Members of the Bangladeshi diaspora in Paris and Seoul staged protests and condemned the killings of students in Bangladesh by Sheikh Hasina's government and security forces, demanding her immediate resignation.
Similar protests have taken place in multiple major cities around the world.
From 16th July until today, 168 people have lost their lives. Among the dead are mostly university students, who were shot by members of the Bangladesh police and RAB, while some were hacked to death by ruling party student wing members.
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.

Under PM Sheikh Hasina's AUTHORITARIAN rule, Bangladesh imposes a curfew with a SHOOT-ON-SIGHT order for protestors demanding the end of government job quotas favoring members of Hasina's party.
BANGLADESH 🇧🇩 : The Government must immediately overturn the curfew with a ‘shoot on sight’ order that grants excessive powers to the security forces.
The curfew must be urgently lifted, and all the people detained or arrested solely for exercising their right to protest peacefully should be immediately and unconditionally released.
The authorities are obligated under international law to always exercise restraint and use no more force than is strictly necessary, proportionate and lawful in response to any escalation they may face. #SaveBangaldeshiStudents #ProtectTheProtest
