    I'm a student of Dhaka University, Bangladesh . Nothing to say actually. We, the students, protest to stop the discrimination in our country. But the government polices are firing and slaughtering us indiscriminately. The number of martyred students is uncounted. Our first martyred student is Abu Sayed who was murdered brutally in a public road by police without any reason and Abu Sayed was unarmed. The scene of this brutal murder is still on Facebook. But unfortunately the government closed down Facebook so that we don’t get the full image the cruelty imposed on the students. We got the internet after 6 days but it is still very slow. Moreover, We don’t have access to Facebook. We want the world to support us, Please. Save Bangladeshi students

  • I am a student from Bangladesh. The government has killed thousands of students in an immoral manner which is not desirable for a government. The country's internet connection is disconnected.

    Please save Bangladeshi students. Not only Bangladeshi students, the situation is way more worse than that. They are killing general people also. Those who are innocent, even kids, elder people, people those who had nothing to do with the quota movement. A huge massacre is going on. Please save us.

  • I live in dhaka . Our country's situation is very devastating. The government is corrupted to the core and murderous. We couldn't even participate in elections out of fear of death. Current government forcefully sitting on the throne and drying up our country's economy. Last week we heard guns and tearshell' sound , continuously thrown from helicopters by police. Last Friday 10 / 12 police came to the road in front of my house and started firing ( in the air) ! There were no protesters. Only local peoples , children's as usual. Yet they spread fear and left. In this student vs police + politicians clash police murdered innocent students, Innocent children and civilians also killed by the police. The number of dead may exceed 1000. Most of the people of Bangladesh with right consciousness supports the students . The students are innocent and correct on their demands.
