Headlines suggesting that (categorically) Hasina's red passport has been revoked by the interim government are misleading. The government has decided to cancel all diplomatic (red) passports, including those issued to former ministers and members of parliament (MPs). Anyone with a diplomatic passport who wishes to obtain a new passport must first surrender their diplomatic or red passport, after which an ordinary passport will be issued according to the rules.

Bangladesh is under internet blackout again. Government has completely shuntdown the internet.
Just before the blackout, We have seen footages of police firing in different parts of the capital.
Internet is again blocked and jammed by the government of Bangladesh! People who are outside of Bangladesh please start to reach out to all international media, your local government and representatives of foreign countries! It’s time to raise our voices again.

Bangladesh has been cut off from all international communication. The authoritarian regime has shut down the cellular network and the internet. Fixed landlines are not working—it's a total blackout.

Hasina's regime continues its violent crackdown on students. Court dismissed the writ on “Direction NOT to
Fire” on Students. Public demand is clear: the government must step down.

নিরস্ত্র আন্দোলনকারীদের দমন করতে বাংলাদেশের ইতিহাসে এত বেশি শক্তি প্রয়োগের বিষয়টিকে অনেকেই নজিরবিহীন ঘটনা হিসেবে উল্লেখ করছেন নিরাপত্তা পর্যবেক্ষক এবং মানবাধিকার কর্মীরা।
