The students were protesting peacefully in support of a blockade called by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) to demand the resignation government’s resignation. The police vehicle rammed into the procession from behind, and the injured were taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for treatment.
We condemn the attack on the student procession in the strongest possible terms. This is a clear violation of the student’s right to peaceful protest. We demand that the government of Bangladesh conduct a thorough investigation into the incident and hold those responsible accountable.
The attack on the student procession is a bad omen for democracy in Bangladesh. It is a sign that the government is increasingly intolerant of dissent and is willing to use violence to suppress it. We urge the government of Bangladesh to respect human rights and allow for peaceful protests.
This incident is a reminder of the importance of protecting democracy and human rights. We must stand up against all attempts to silence dissent and suppress the right to peaceful protest.
