Considering the recent events in Bangladesh, an Australian legal firm has filed a communique with the International Criminal Court @IntlCrimCourt to consider the matter for preliminary examination, claiming that crimes against humanity have been committed in the country. The petition also seeks to accuse a total of 26 individuals, including Sheikh Hasina, of being involved in crimes against humanity.
You as an individual can also assist in this petition by directly submitting all evidence to the ICC's OTP link. The link and instructions are mentioned in the following thread.
On Friday, July 19, 2024, near Rampura Police Station in Dhaka, residents of the Banasree area took to the streets to protest against the student killings. A clash ensued between the Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB), the police, and the general protesters.
At one point, unable to withstand the continuous shooting from the BGB and police, several teenagers climbed a nearby under-construction four-story building. When the BGB and police regained control of the area, a few police officers entered the building.
While everyone else managed to escape, one teenager got trapped. He tried to hide by climbing down the side of the fourth-floor roof. However, two police officers spotted him and fired six rounds from a revolver, ensuring the teenager's death before leaving. The video captures this very scene.
What an egregious violation of human rights!

Watching Pickford play it long fifteen times in the second half of the Serbia match I realized something very important about English football. [thread]
