Another tragic death has occurred in Dhaka, by Hasina's security forces. The true extent remains unclear as the hospital's death register is confiscated by police. This pattern of killing and erasing evidence means we may never know how many people were killed by Hasina.
While exchanging views with the businessmen today, instead of admitting her crimes and apologizing to the martyrs and the nation, dictator Sheikh Hasina praised the killersâthe terrorists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL)âand politicized members of the police who have been committing mass murder in the last week. Not once did she mention the lives lost, the families suffering, and their shattered dreams. Her astonishing lack of repentance and absence of remorse shows the psychopathic nature of her character. Wrongfully politicizing and threatening to kill the protesters, she has provided another evidence of her involvement in mass murder. Every involved member of the Chhatro League and the perpetrators in the law enforcement agencies should be put on trial for following Hasinaâs orders to kill. I urge the international community to enlist Chhatro League as a terrorist organization worldwide.
Hasina boasted to businessmen about improving the economy. However, after more than a decade of endemic corruption, money laundering, and bank looting, Hasina has destroyed the backbone of our economy. This destruction is evident through increasing inflation, price hikes, and a reserve crisis. Apart from some corrupt oligarchs close to her family, no other businesspersons are faring well.
The dictator Hasina and her thugs from Chhatro League and the police have been conducting killings, committing enforced disappearances, and making hundreds of targeted arrests. Senior leaders of BNP and other political figures have either been arrested or become victims of enforced disappearances. Nahid Islam, the student leader of the movement, bravely informed the nation how he was abducted, and dictator Hasinaâs police took his statement under duress. Reflecting the will of the citizens, he and other student leaders have vowed to continue their movement against dictator Hasinaâs tyranny.
I urge all members of the international community to stand beside the protesters and our entire nation. The dictator, Hasina, must go. Her crimes against humanity must be punished.
