Sheikh Hasina has been the Prime Minister of Bangladesh since 2009, leading the Awami League party. Her government has faced criticism for becoming increasingly authoritarian and suppressing dissent.

Student protests have occurred periodically in Bangladesh, with major movements in 2018 and 2023. The protests have focused on issues like road safety, education reform, and political rights.

Alleged human rights violations by Sheikh Hasina's government in response to protests and dissent include:

1.     Excessive use of force against protesters, including reports of police violence and deaths of demonstrators.

2.     Arbitrary arrests and detention of students, activists, and opposition figures.

3.     Restrictions on freedom of assembly and association.

4.     Crackdowns on press freedom, with journalists facing harassment and arrest.

5.     Use of digital security laws to silence critics online.

6.     Allegations of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings of opposition members and activists.

7.     Limits on academic freedom and autonomy of universities.

8.     Harassment and intimidation of human rights defenders and civil society organizations.

International human rights organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have expressed concern over these issues. The government has defended its actions as necessary for maintaining law and order and combating extremism.

I'll provide some information on allegations regarding Sheikh Hasina's government and student deaths, based on reports from human rights organizations and news sources. However, I want to note that verifying all details in such cases can be challenging, and the government often disputes these claims.

Some reported incidents include:

2018 Road Safety Protests: During widespread student protests over road safety, there were reports of violence against demonstrators. Human Rights Watch reported that security forces used excessive force, including rubber bullets and tear gas. Some protesters were allegedly killed, though exact numbers are disputed.
2023 Anti-Government Protests: Opposition parties and student groups held protests calling for Sheikh Hasina's resignation. There were reports of clashes with police, resulting in injuries and some fatalities. International observers expressed concern over the use of force against protesters.
Abrar Fahad Case (2019): A student at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology was allegedly beaten to death by members of the student wing of the ruling Awami League party. This case sparked outrage and renewed criticism of political violence on campuses.
Digital Security Act: The government has been accused of using this law to suppress dissent, including arresting students for social media posts critical of the government.
Enforced Disappearances: Human rights groups have reported cases of students and activists going missing, with allegations of state involvement.

Some more criticisms -

Election controversies: Sheikh Hasina's Awami League party has won multiple elections, but these victories have been marred by allegations of voter intimidation, ballot box stuffing, and suppression of opposition parties. The 2018 and 2023 elections in particular faced strong criticism from international observers.
Opposition suppression: There have been reports of systematic efforts to weaken and silence opposition parties, including arrests of key opposition figures and restrictions on their ability to campaign freely.
Media control: The government has been accused of tightening control over media outlets and using laws like the Digital Security Act to stifle critical journalism.
Judicial independence: Some observers have raised concerns about the independence of the judiciary, suggesting it may be influenced by the ruling party.
Use of security forces: There have been allegations of security forces being used to suppress dissent and target government critics.
Corruption allegations: Accusations of widespread corruption within the government and among ruling party members have persisted.
International criticism: Various international bodies and human rights organizations have expressed concern about the state of democracy and human rights in Bangladesh under Sheikh Hasina's leadership.

Hasina, 76, who has ruled Bangladesh since 2009, fled by helicopter, a source close to the leader told Agence France-Presse news agency shortly after protesters had stormed her palace in the capital, Dhaka.

Celebrations erupted among the crowds who had been on the streets of Dhaka for another day of protests.

The internet was cut for several hours overnight and residents told the Guardian of raids and gunshots, including in the most affluent areas, before a planned mass protest called for Monday.

Hasina’s government was accused by rights groups of misusing state institutions to entrench its hold on power and stamp out dissent, including through the killing of opposition activists.

The latest student-led protests began over a quota system they said disproportionately allocated government jobs to the descendants of freedom fighters from the 1971 independence war.

The government’s harsh crackdown on protests has led to hundreds of deaths, which continued despite the supreme court overturning the quota law. Agence France-Presse reported there had been 94 deaths on Sunday.

The demonstrations escalated despite the scheme having been scaled back by Bangladesh’s top court. The anti-government movement had attracted people from across society – including actors, musicians and singers – in the south Asian country of about 170 million people.

Now Hasina is planning to come to the UK.

I can discuss some reasons why critics might argue against granting entry to a political figure like Sheikh Hasina if she were to seek entry to the UK:

Human rights concerns: Her government has been accused of various human rights violations, including suppression of free speech, arbitrary arrests, and extrajudicial killings.
Democratic backsliding: There have been allegations of election irregularities and suppression of opposition parties under her rule.
Corruption allegations: Her government has faced accusations of widespread corruption.
Use of controversial laws: The Digital Security Act and other laws have reportedly been used to silence critics and journalists.
Treatment of minorities: There have been concerns about the treatment of religious and ethnic minorities under her government.
International accountability: Some argue that granting entry could be seen as tacit approval of her government's actions.
Potential legal issues: There might be concerns about potential legal challenges or protests if she were allowed entry.
It's important to note that these are arguments critics might make. In reality, decisions about granting entry to foreign leaders involve complex diplomatic, legal, and political considerations. The UK government would weigh various factors, including bilateral relations, international obligations, and domestic laws, before making such a decision. However, as a general citizen I oppose her entry to this country.
