A video of Sheikh Hasina's Home Minister, Asaduzzaman, has gone viral. In the video, a police officer is seen telling Asaduzzaman, "When we shoot, one person dies and another gets injured. Only one goes down, sir, the rest don't. This is, sir, the biggest terror."
A secretary is also seen in the video. This secretary, Jahangir Alam, is currently the secretary to the Home Advisor Sakhawat Hossain. This is the first clear, public admission of shooting directly to kill. It happened with the knowledge and approval of the top leadership. There can be no greater evidence of a crime against humanity than this.
Bangladesh: As protests continued today, reports of death of nearly 100 people including 14 police officers is extremely concerning.
The state has a duty to create an enabling environment for peaceful assembly. As such, it must take necessary, reasonable and proportionate measures to de-escalate the violence at protests,in order to protect the right to protest.
Amnesty calls upon law enforcement agencies to act with restraint to avoid further serious injury and loss of life. They may only use the minimum level of force necessary to bring a situation under control where doing so is strictly necessary and proportionate. Even in instances where some parts of a protest turn violent, law enforcement must assess the situation on a case-by-case basis with use of force only where absolutely necessary and only against those engaged in violence. It must be strictly proportionate to the situation, which means authorities must not cause more harm than they seek to avert.

You can tell people think that prime minister Sheikh Hasina is about to be thrown out of power in #bangladesh, because they have started saying what they really think about her and her @albd1971 government knowing she/it can’t threaten or jail them. Here is Professor Yunus (@Yunus_Centre) really, really speaking his mind. Quite something. Worth a read simply for the audaciousness. https://t.co/66Jx0nq0Ws
BANGLADESH 🇧🇩: @amnesty’s Secretary General @AgnesCallamard urges Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to end the ongoing crackdown on protesters and cooperate with the UN to conduct a thorough, effective, independent, and impartial investigation into the deaths and injuries that have resulted from crackdown.
She reiterates that Amnesty’s findings findings point to unlawful use of birdshot against student protesters, dangerous use of tear gas in enclosed student spaces and unrestrained use of lethal firearms, such as AK-pattern assault rifles, by security forces. They also point to violence unleashed by Bangladesh Chatra League (BCL), the student wing of your the ruling party, first against unarmed and peaceful student protesters in the University of Dhaka and then against students receiving medical treatment at the Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
Additionally, the mass arrest and arbitrary detention of student protesters has further perpetuated a climate of fear. All the people detained or arrested solely for exercising their right to protest peacefully must be unconditionally released. #ProtectTheProtest #SaveBangladeshiStudents

BREAKING: Diplomatic sources have confirmed that in light of Bangladesh government's response to the student protests in the country, which resulted in the deaths of at least 200 people, the European Union has postponed the start of negotiations with the Bangladesh government concerning its Partnership and Cooperation Agreement which was launched by the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in October 2023. This was intended to "expand and develop the relationship between the EU and Bangladesh" and at the launch Bangladesh signed agreements worth €400 million for renewable energy projects and five additional cooperation actions, worth €70 million. .... Bangladesh's foreign minister will be meeting senior EU officials tomorrow. Below is the link to EU launch statement in October 2023: @EU_Commission
More to come ....

🚨🚨Bangladesh: Media reports state that security forces have been raiding neighbourhoods and conducting mass arrests, targeting students and opposition activists. Whereabouts of some of those arrested are unknown. Several student leaders have been arrested from the hospital where they were being treated for injuries.
In a virtual press conference held yesterday, a coordinator of the anti-discrimination student movement alleged that over 3,500 students have been detained across the country.
Amnesty International urges the authorities to immediately stop the blanket hunt for students and opposition members.
Peaceful protest is not a crime.

"The Secretary-General is deeply concerned abt reported mass arrests of 1000s of young people & political opposition related to the current student movement (in 🇧🇩). He underscores the importance of due process, right to freedom of expression & right to peaceful assembly."

"The shutting down of the Internet is of concern as it disproportionately restricts the enjoyment of the right to freedom of expression, including the freedom to seek, receive & impart information" - @UNHumanRights Chief @volker_turk on #Bangladesh

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
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.
