Let’s not forget the HUGE NUMBER OF STUDENTS wrongfully arrested from their house. We don’t know their whereabouts

[sljami]

I never saw Mussolini, I saw Hasina!!

[shakilchowdhury]

Sheikh Hasina is a ruthless, psychopathic dictator who has ruled Bangladesh for 15 years without legitimacy. This oppressive regime has caused significant suffering for us, the Bangladeshi people. This bloodthirsty monster should be removed from power as soon as possible.

1000+ Students killed

1. When the students were protesting peacefully, the government ordered the police to fire indiscriminately on the students. Police have killed 972+ Killed
25000+ Injured
61000+ Arrested students so far. Many bodies have been lost by the police due to which the exact number of dead cannot be said. The massacre lasted from 15-20 july. 🇧🇩


2. Then sheikh hasina imposed curfew across the country. Internet services were shut down across the country so that no one outside the country could reach the news. And Sheikh Hasina deployed police, army, air force, Bangladesh Border Guard and to stop the student movement. 🇧🇩


3. Internet connection is kept off for a long week. In these times, the government does a terrible thing. Those who were coordinators of the anti-discrimination student movement were arrested from their homes and subjected to inhumane torture in their jails. Threatened to kill them and also threatened to kill their parents. 🇧🇩

4. Sheikh Hasina has instructed the news channels of the country not to broadcast any truth. even we are still threatened not to tell about this massacre outside the country.🇧🇩

I'm from Bangladesh, where AIUB is an American international university.Three students from our university died in this incident, and there were more than 1200 dead overall among university, college, and school students.
After this incident, the maximum number of students injured was over 20, 000.
In Bangladesh, we are not safe.

Save Bangladeshi students, please.
After roughly six days, we had internet. Furthermore, the government of Bangladesh has stopped the media from disseminating any of this information.

[salmanbinhabib]

This brutal dictator is on a killing spree!

[raoha]

Hasina is one of the most brutal dictators in history. She must go.

[habeburrahaman]

I'm a Bangladeshi student.
Please stay with us
1000+ dead, 2000+ injured. Officially countless people are arrested just for this issue (People are not even safe in their own home) We want justice.
We want to step down Hasina.

[missuraj]

Dictatorship has been going on in Bangladesh for 15 years. Injustice, tyranny, oppression, violence, corruption, discrimination are the characteristics of Bangladesh. Please people of the world save our common people from this oppression.

We (Bangladeshi) students were peacefully protesting against quota, but the Bangladesh Student League (BSL), an organization of the government, along with Police protection launched attacks on us and are continuously doing so. Nearly three hundred students are already injured and many were killed in the attacks. A student was shot by the police on his chest, and achieved martyrdom. At this point, we need you very much because the journalists of our country are with the government. The ruling party called us Rajakars for seeking our rights! (Rajakar is a taboo term in Bangladesh used to refer to those who collaborated with the enemies during our Liberation war). The media of our country are not covering the whole real issue. No one's standing on our side, and we need you to stand for us and be our voice worldwide. Seeking freedom has now become a crime for us in Bangladesh.

at least 2000 students are killed more injured 56000 arrested. save Bangladeshi students, it is time to step down sheikh hasina

[ahmedrafin]

2500+ students and peoples has been tortured all night by shutting down the network across the country, Where did the human rights commission go today?😅

[abdulmomin-yqmt]

How many people have to kill to be a genocide?
1) Dhaka Medical College Hospital - 370 bodies
2) Mitteford Hospital - 450 bodies
3) Kuwait Maitri Hospital in Uttara - 60 bodies in one day
4) Jatrabari Anabil Hospital - 39 dead bodies
Total: 859 bodies
Here are Thursday and Friday calculations of only 4 hospitals. The records of which were taken by the police.
In this way, all the hospitals in Dhaka and hospitals all over the country think about the picture of the whole 4 days, how many people has Hasina killed?
Besides, no list of dead bodies has been made in Mugha General Hospital. There are many such hospitals. If you calculate them. What do you think? What will be the number?

They stopped the For 4-5 days....what kind of human rights is this....we can't communicate and cut off from all news

[abdullahaltauhid]

Step down Hasina.
We want democracy 😢

[ahasanhaque]

I am wondering how come an 11 years old boy who was closing his room window and shot dead could be a militant? How come a 6 years old girl who was playing on her house rooftop and shot dead could be a terrorist? How come a journalist who was on his duty to report the protest and shot dead could be an anti-nationalist? My university junior was distributing drinking water to the protestor when he was shot dead from behind and he died on the spot could be hampering national peace? How come a vegetables retailer on van who was in a dire state to feed his poor family and had to sell his items amidst the crisis and shot dead could be a member from oppositions?
Our city roads were marked red with students blood. They were treated as insects! It's the darkest chapter of history after our liberation war in 1971.

I live outside Bangladesh. Today I received a text from my aunt.

She wrote from Dhaka, “I hope the world knows about the abuse torture and killings of young students by the police and army. Arrests still going on in a large scale. That is why we have curfew and internet blackouts.”

[Ardinkamtec]

1000+ students killed by police and 25000+injured

[shamsmiah]

Hasina is not only dictator, she is the owner of Bangladesh according to some of her party members.

[freebird]

My younger brother was killed he was just 16 years old. He didn’t work for any party😊

[abrarshahariarhossain]

She sheds her tears for burnt stations and buses when thousands of parents mourn their lost sons. Guess, the lives of our brothers cannot compare to those buses and stations.
