He could be anyone’s son.
Lying helpless on the cold, wet road of Gopalganj, Bangladesh.
His only crime? Possibly raising his voice.
And above him — a military boot, ready to crush not just his face, but the very soul of a nation.
This is not security. This is state terror.
📢 We demand global attention. We demand justice.

Statement of the Interim Government on the attacks on peaceful NCP rally in Gopalganj
DHAKA, July 16: The use of violence today in Gopalganj is utterly indefensible. Preventing young citizens from peacefully holding a rally to commemorate the one-year anniversary of their revolutionary movement is a shameful violation of their fundamental rights. Members of the National Citizen Party (NCP), police and media were subjected to brutal attacks, with their cars vandalised and individuals violently assaulted.
This heinous act—allegedly carried out by members of the banned Awami League’s Chhatra League and AL activists —will not go unpunished. The perpetrators must be swiftly identified and held fully accountable. There is no place for such violence against any citizen of Bangladesh.
We commend the Army and police for their prompt intervention, and we applaud the resilience and courage of the students and people who carried on with their rally despite these malicious threats.
Those responsible for this brutality will face justice. Let it be made absolutely clear: violence has no place in our nation. Justice must and will prevail.
