Governments must protect the rights and provide opportunities for all their citizens. The right to protest is a human right. I call on the government of #Bangladesh to correct course. Countries cannot live in the past! https://t.co/W6CZX6WfJS
Tens of thousands of students in Bangladesh are demanding an end to “discriminatory” government hirings.

Death of a hero in Bangladesh. How Abu Saeed, a young man in Bangladesh protesting restrictive quota in government jobs in a stagnant economy, faced armed police alone with his mortal body. A hero who is as brave as the lone protester in Tiananmen Square facing rows of tanks. But while the tanks of the Chinese regime did not hurt the lone protester, the police of the Bangladeshi regime did not hesitate a minute to shoot the unarmed and non-threatening young man.
