@vishy64theking Long-shot question! I bought this used chess book at 17 in Dhaka ~32 years ago, printed in New Delhi. While passing it to my 10yo son, I noticed “Anand” handwritten inside. You inspired our generation. Could this have been yours? It would hugely inspire him!

Hasina's police are relentlessly hounding the protesters, even killing them in their homes. Watch the disturbing footage.

I’m deeply concerned by the ongoing violence in Bangladesh.

The ongoing loss of life – including attacks on student protesters – is troubling and unacceptable.

Democratic freedoms and the rule of law are essential and must be respected.

[DR. Mostafa Faisal Parvez @FaisslParvez]

This night Bangladesh is totally isolated from the world. Now Awamikig fesist government killing mass people.

Dozens were killed in protests against Bangladesh’s quota system, which favours the children of fighters in the 1971 war of independence from Pakistan. Students are also demanding justice for those who have been killed during three weeks of protests.

[Sami @ZulkarnainSaer]

It's been 8 long hours since Bangladesh, a country of 170 million, has been out of communication with the rest of the world. The authorities in Bangladesh shut down the cellular network and internet service across the entire country following violent clashes between security forces and students. The students have been demanding reforms to a controversial quota system that gives advantages in job placements to family members of freedom fighters.

Thirty-two people, mostly young students, have lost their lives and the number of death is likely to increase. This disturbing video from Dhaka exemplifies the police brutality in Bangladesh. Shykh Yamin, a computer science student at the Military Institute of Science and Technology, was dragged inside a police APC from the protest. He was shot and then his body was tossed onto the road. Do you see any regard for human life in this video? Yamin was still alive when the cops tossed him onto the road; he later died from his injuries.

BANGLADESH 🇧🇩: @amnesty has analysed and authenticated witness testimonies, video and photographic evidence which confirms that the police used unlawful force against student protesters.

Further witness testimonies confirm the continuation of a multi-year pattern of violence against protesters, allegedly committed by members of the Bangladesh Chatra League (BCL), a group affiliated with the ruling party.

Our analysis finds that the shooting of student protestor Abu Sayed in Rangpur, was a seemingly intentional, unprovoked attack on an individual posing no threat to police officers, using ammunition designed for hunting which is extremely dangerous and unlawful for use in the policing of protests.

"We urgently call on the Government of Bangladesh to rehabilitate all those injured and ensure they receive proper medical treatment. The authorities must also ensure that all those engaged in the attacks on peaceful protesters are held to account, and that an impartial, independent, and swift investigation is conducted against these attackers as well as the police officers who have directly perpetrated or failed to prevent such breaches of the law" said Taqbir Huda, Regional Researcher for South Asia at Amnesty International.
