Shocking violence in #Bangladesh must stop. Excessive force, disinformation & incitement to violence must cease.
Deeply worried more lives will be lost at planned mass march on Dhaka. Political leadership + security forces must protect right to life.
Accountability is crucial.
Yesterday, 5 PEOPLE WERE KILLED in Bangladesh, and 100+ were injured as student protesters clashed with police over Hasina government-mandated job quotas which favor PM Hasina's supporters.

Students are being killed in Bangladesh, and many are injured for protesting the job quotas being imposed by the government. SOLIDARITY WITH THE PROTESTORS! Victory to the students!

#Bangladesh: @volker_turk urges authorities to engage w/ student protesters. All acts of violence & use of force, esp. resulting in loss of life, must be investigated & perpetrators held to account. Freedom of expression & peaceful assembly are fundamental human rights
