🚨 URGENT CALL TO ACTION 🚨
Help us bring #SheikhHasina to the International Criminal Court. In July 2024, her regime killed over 200 students and injured thousands in Bangladesh for demanding reforms. The judiciary in 🇧🇩 is corrupt, compromised offering little recourse. [1/3]
#WATCH | We are closely following the dire situation in #Bangladesh, where security forces have been ordered to shoot on sight, and internet shutdowns persist. Hundreds have died. We condemn all violence and express unwavering support for peaceful assembly. @StateDept

The UN's stance is forceful @UN_Spokesperson said today: the brutal crackdown on student protests in #Bangladesh is unacceptable. Over hundreds killed, thousands injured. The misuse of UN-marked vehicles is alarming and has been conveyed with Bangladeshi authorities. Accountability and dialogue are essential! #StudentProtests #HumanRights #UN
It's unbearable to watch the videos of police brutality in Bangladesh. Yet, the world must witness what has been done to the students. What does the world expect us to do now? If we fight back, can you blame us? Answer us. Your silence is the greatest strength of Sheikh Hasina. Because of your silence, she has become ruthless.
This Grade 9 kid was killed by security forces in the streets of Dhaka. The Hasina regime would call him a 'terrorist', an 'enemy of the nation'. #StepDownHasina
Do @StateDept, @TheJusticeDept, @DeptofDefense and @INDOPACOM intend to continue business as usual with #Bangladesh security forces who murdered 100s of protestors under the cover of an internet blackout? What about accountability for these GVHRs?
#WATCH | The Pentagon is closely monitoring the situation in #Bangladesh as security forces carry out a ‘shoot on sight’ order, echoing the @StateDept position, according to the @PentagonPresSec in response to my question today. #SaveBangaldeshiStudents#HumanRights
Before the internet blackout in Bangladesh, a number of activists and journalists have said that @Meta removed videos/images showing police firing on students/ protestors. Was this accidental overreach or the result of Bangladesh government instructions? Don't know, but important that Meta does not censor the posting of human rights violations, accidentally or otherwise.
