Students of Dhaka University in Bangladesh are holding a solidarity torch march in support of protesting students against the Modi regime in India. These Dhaka University students were in the forefront of overthrowing Hasina dictatorship two years ago.
July 21, 2024 — Two years on.
On this day, Bangladesh was under a nationwide “shoot-on-sight” curfew following clashes between police and student demonstrators that had left more than 114 people dead. Attached is @Channel4News ’ report from that day.
Internet and mobile services had been suspended since July 18 as authorities moved to contain the unrest.
The report was among the first by international media to state that junior officers of the Bangladesh Army had refused orders to fire on protesters — choosing instead to stand with the people.

What Hasina did to her political opponents in Bangladesh, Modi is doing to his opponents in India.
The playbook is the same; probably the writer-director is the same person.
South Asia's democracy is dying
Deeply concerned by reports of force used against peaceful protesters of the @CJP_for_India in Delhi.
The rights to peaceful assembly and free expression are fundamental to any democracy. Allegations of excessive force warrant transparent scrutiny and accountability.
Democratic societies are strongest when dissent is heard, rights are protected, and dialogue prevails.
सोनम वांगचुक जी के एक युवा समर्थक की हिम्मत देखकर वहा मोजूद युवा खुश और जोश के साथ हुए,
आंसू गैस का गोला युवाओ पार फेका, एक छात्र ने अपनी हिम्मत दिखाकर वापस पुलिस की तरफ फेंक दिया #SonamWangchuk#JantarMantar#delhi#janselaab#sansadbhavan
20 जुलाई को हुए कॉकरोच जनता पार्टी के संसद चलो मार्च पर चप्पल पहनकर, बिना वर्दी के एक व्यक्ति प्रदर्शनकारियों पर डंडे भांज रहा था.
लल्लनटॉप के पत्रकार अभिलाष ने सवाल किया तो केवल सवाल पूछने की वजह से ही रिपोर्टर को लाठी मार दी गई.
इसके बाद पुलिस ने भी लाठी मारने वाले का बचाव किया और बदतमीज़ी करते हुए माइक जमीन पर फेंक दिया.

The guy in white shirt, Khakhi pant and with a beard is indeed from @DelhiPolice.

At first glance, it looked like a scene from a war zone.
But it was Bangladesh in July 2024. Two RAB Aviation Wing helicopters launched deadly aerial attacks on civilian protesters, leaving behind one of the darkest chapters in the country's history.
