Bangladeshi female student having a seizure in shock of being beaten in University of Dhaka

It's been 240 hours. I keep watching as my country turns into those dystopian fantasies I love reading about. Except there's no happy ending, there's no epic good vs evil fight.

It's my government, my police, my law enforcement units beating and killing my fellow students without any remorse, any judgement.

I love my country. Without any kind of doubt. I have been taught patriotism since my childhood. But how can I love my people and motherland any further when all it wishes to do is to kill, kill, kill.

We live in a dystopia. Our law enforcement is here to kill brilliant students, students that want to make changes, students who speak up about their rights, students who build drones and robots. Our mainstream media wants the police to shoot at students so they can get exciting videos.

And they can get away with it. If social media is the only centre of our voice, then they'll block our internet. If the roads are where we protest, they'll order curfew.

My university wants nothing to do with us. They're above student protests, they're above having any ounce of responsibility for the death of so many of my brothers and sisters. "It's out of my control", our vice-chancellor says. And our chancellor? Well the president has had speech disorder for years now. He'll be back for convocation and cutting ribbons soon.

They'll end the curfews soon enough. They will tell us to go back to the campus they drove us out of with gunfire and tear shells. But how will we do so while we have a conscience? How can I step over the blood shed by my fellow students? How will I go back to classworks and labs and hangouts when there have been dead bodies in those streets merely weeks ago?

But it doesn't matter. This world does not care about genocides of millions of children in Palestine. Why would it care about 500 innocent students in such a small country like Bangladesh? My country, where equal chances at jobs and education needs a bloodier movement than establishing our language. Such a primitive land, isn't it?

The green is gone. It hasn't been here for such a long time. I'm sorry for being so hopeless and useless and helpless.

Hey guys

I felt quite insecure and ashamed to post this,

But I don't think I can hold it back anymore.

I'm from Bangladesh, my homeland, I speak Bangla, it's my mother tongue, and I'm proud of my roots but my family immigrated to America many years ago. But I still care a lot about my country. So recently, there has been a lot going in Bangladesh. Mainly, it's because of its corrupted government. Our prime minister Sheikh Hasina is literally a dictator, if you go to twitter and search about recent news in Bangladesh, you can see that the situation is not that good. Basically, it's because we have a thing which is called "Quota" and it affects the Bangladeshi Government job sectors in a very negative way. This "Quota" is for the freedom fighters who fought in 1971 war which happened in Bangladesh. But the problem is that, even though those freedom fighters are dead, their families are welcome to enjoy the privileges which the quota provides.

Mostly, the grandchildren of these freedom fighters can use the quota to get jobs in Bangladesh's most prestigious job sectors, which has created a huge unemployment problem in Bangladesh. Also, these "so called" grandchildren are now TOTALLY CORRUPTED AND RUINING OUR COUNTRY while enjoying many privileges given by our PM and Bangladeshi students are very mad about it because normal, brilliant students with ZERO QUOTA cannot get into any prestigious job sectors no matter how hard they try!

Thousands of students have also committed sui*ide because they could not feed their poor family who are looking up to these brilliant students so that they can spin their family's poor fate.

From 13 July till now, the students of many public and private universities of Bangladesh are protesting together and risking their lives in order to remove this disgusting, vile and cruel quota system. Unfortunately, given to these current circumstances, our PM still pays no mind to these poor students who are protesting ENDLESSLY and literally DYING ON THE ROAD !!

Sheikh Hasina has labeled these brave students as RAJAKAR/TRAITORS (Collaborators who aided the enemy country Pakistan in 1971)

Our brave Bengali students, male and female, got so enraged, heartbroken by the fact that their prime minister called them traitors of the country just because they wanted the quota system removed. Following that incident, on July 15, at 1 AM, Dhaka University students, Eden Women's College students and many other University students broke down the gates of their hall at midnight and ran down to the streets to protest while chanting "Who are you? Who am I ? Rajakar, Rajakar!!"

Brave men and women who are protesting against this quota, are now being brutally attacked and mercilessly killed by the government party terrorist organization Chhatra League. The students at Dhaka University are now being attacked with stones, Bats, knifes and literally anything that can hurt a human brutally enough. Our government has turned their back on us, claiming that these students are traitors of their own country, and they are selfish because they do not want the quota system to give benefits to only the grandchildren of freedom fighters anymore.

But the reality is, these so-called grandchildren are now dominating 56% of job sectors with the help of money, nepotism and other dishonest ways while the honest student of our country stays unemployed, their talents wasted, efforts unappreciated and thus, they suffer from depression.

I'm not asking that much from my followers, but please, for the love of God, share my post as much as you can. These mass protests are not being seen enough, share and retweet as much as possible, we need to spread these horrifying actions committed by our PM to the world. Shame, shame, shame on them. Shame on our government for turning a blind eye to hundred thousand of these students. The streets of Dhaka have been drenched with the blood of our students; in order to save their lives, we need to spread this news as much as possible. My cousins from Bangladesh are absolutely frightened, their exams have been stopped, teachers are also turning their backs on these students, they have nowhere to go now. My cousin's classmate got her arm broken off by terrorist organization Chaatro League men just because she was protesting against the corrupted system.

Women are getting assaulted, acids are being thrown at these students, violence is now occurring left and right, our PM is a woman and still, she chooses to betray the students and stands still on her disgusting beliefs with the terrorist government organization Awami League supporting her crimes.

On 21 February, in 1952, thousands of students at Dhaka University protested against the West Pakistan in order to establish the language Bangla as the state language of east Pakistan. Thousands of students had died on that day, which is why we Bangladeshis celebrate 21 February as our Mother Language Day.

It seems like history is going to repeat itself yet again.

Shame, shame, shame on them!

THE STUDENTS OF BANGLADESH ARE DYING.

The so called students league called BCL or Bangladesh Chatro league, who are basically the rabid dogs of the rolling government of Bangladesh are attacking, assaulting and killing the students protesting against the Quota system that gives off government jobs for the children and grandchildren of freedom fighters of the liberation war. Our own prime minister called us rajakar (traitor who betrayed Bangladesh to Pakistan in 1971) and said anyone who isn't the child of declared freedom fighter is a child of a rajakar. So the students created a slogan "who am I? Who are you? Rajakar, rajakar!" Ignoring the irony of the slogan, the pm set her rabid dogs on the students, my people are dying because she (pm) refuses to let go of nepotism. We can't use our freedom of speech. Please help us.

Our Internet is being cut off, our accounts are being hacked, our electricity is said to be gone soon. SPREAD THE WORD.

ALL EYES ON BANGLADESH

Save hindu minority in Bangladesh!! Raise your voices and create awareness.

Temples are being destroyed and people are being attacked!!

[215-luv]

it’s so strange, why is it that whenever i post about spreading awareness while speaking up against violence, that’s the time where i lose interactions?

especially on twitter. it’s disappointing! no matter how much i convince people to spread the word and speak up, they just turn completely blind.

i’ve lost hope. i know this is controversial but the fandom which i’m disappointed most at is kpop. while i’ve met some kpop fans who’re vocal, majority of the fans i’ve interacted with have become distant eversince i’ve been speaking up alot about palestine, congo, sudan, bangladesh, and the philippines. it makes me sad because kpop has helped me in my worst times, and seeing that the people in it won’t even lend a hand to those BEGGING for help, it’s been urging me to force myself to detach myself from it’s fandom.

i feel so bad for the people who are asking for help. all my prayers will go to you. please remember you are not alone. i stand here by your side.

i don’t care if i lose followers for what i am speaking up for. if losing followers means saving people from violence, then so it be!

We will not forget.

Free Palestine🍉

[diwaani-hu]

y'all might find it controversial but let's face it, Bangladesh's political turmoil is one thing; vandalizing and posing threats to people is another. from what I've been hearing through the internet (which continues to show the rare ground footages), Hindus are in fear. Bangladeshi Hindus.

1971. 3 million Hindus were KILLED. 200,000 hindu women were R@PED.

i am aware that making this religion specific is what makes this controversial, but it is necessary. when harm is caused on the basis of religious identity, there's no other way around to mention it!

if the world could step forward to speak up on Palestine, it could also step up to speak on the atrocities in Bangladesh.

international authorities continue to issue releases concerning the protection of Bangladeshi Hindus, but serious delay in such action has been noted.

we don't want 1971 to repeat. I hope we start to speak up before it's too late.

[the-stars-were-his]

i don't know if any of you know what's happening in bangladesh right now, but please educate yourselves. i don't know if my family there is even fucking alive.

the university students were protesting because the prime minister went back on her promise and reintroduced a quota that many view as unfair, because it allows students who have lower merit than others applying to beat out their fellow applicants, based on their heritage.

the prime minister insulted the protesters, then the protesters were protesting against her, then the police got involved and people were killed and injured. the government then shut down the internet and the country is in blackout.

over a hundred people have died by now, and even more are injured.

What is happening in Bangladesh:

Students have been peacefully protesting the civil service job quotas in Bangladesh since 2018, but this changed on the 15th of July, 2024

The government cracked down on the student protests, which led to student injuries and deaths.

Mass protests broke out around colleges demanding an end to the quotas and justice for those injured and killed.

The government then blocked all communications to control the media and hide the police's brutality (firing at protesters using live ammunition)

6 students murdered by Bangladesh Awami League polices. One was a girl who was only 16 and she didn't even pass her teenage years!

Why? Because their only fault was protesting against the fascist government. The students aren't asking for too many things, they are asking to be free, they are fighting for their existence, they are protesting against the awful quota system of Bangladesh. And now they are paying with their blood. The students of Bangladesh are trying to protest peacefully but the Chaatro League keeps ambushing them. The Dhaka city, capital of Bangladesh, is now drenched and soaked with the blood of the youth.

A famous quote by Bangladeshi Novelist Zahir Rayhan, "We will be double in the next spring!" - targeted toward the polices whom had thrown brave students into prisons.

In Bangladesh's history, students have always protested against the imperial regime, brutal government, cruel settlers in order to earn their basic human rights. And every time, they had to pay with their blood.

History is repeating itself again. Bangabandhu had once said- "You cannot stop millions of Bengali if you anger them!"

His daughter, sheikh Hasina, is doing the opposite thing.

Bangladesh's Facebook, Instagram feed is now full of students protesting, dying or getting brutally beaten to death. It almost seems like something which came out from a horror movie!

30 Million people fought and sacrificed their lives for the freedom of Bangladesh just to see the Bangladesh government oppressing their own nation's people 50 years later.

Justice shall prevail again. No matter what

Please reblog my posts, it isn't going to cost you any money. Copy my words and paste them into twitter. World needs to hear what kind of brutal dictator Sheikh Hasina really is. She is no different than Netanyahu.

Unedited picture of The sky on July, 15, 2024. Location- Dhaka. Painted blood red, reminiscing the sacrifice of innocent students of Bangladesh. As if the sky knows the helpless screams and plead of the martyred students' families. As if the sky is alerting the nation that justice is one the way. Who knows ?!

They shut all our social media again. The internet is so slow its practically useless.

I went outside today. Saw a bunch of BSL (Student League) kids with sticks and sharp things. They blocked of a road and shit so I had to take the long way round. Another massacre will happen today. That's why they shut off communication. Can't have people alerting each other, can they?

International community, we're reaching out to you. Every word counts. Every reblog counts. Every small step you take could save someone's life. Talk about it. Speak up. They've taken away our voice and now only you can shout for us. Save lives. Stop a genocide.

STUDENT PROTESTS IN BANGLADESH

Injuries and casualties are rising!!! Thousands injured. Children dead.

Are you aware of the ongoing student protests in Bangladesh? All schools and universities have been shut down. Even the primary schools in cities. It has led to violence. There have been casualties. All because the students (18-25/26 year olds) wanted an equal foot in the job market.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/16/asia/bangladesh-protests-quote-intl-latam/index.html This is a CNN article on this topic. But casualties are rising. We need international support if we are to have any chance at a better future.
