UPDATE: Although the quota has been slightly reformed, but government is still arresting general students and those who spoke for the protestors, checking their mobile phones and socials on roadside and arresting on a random estimation. Internet connection is still slowed down by the government.

So far more than 900+ Students have been killed and more than 25000+ people has been arrested.

Entire Story:

In Bangladesh, students have taken to the streets to demand a fair and reformed quota system in the job sector. In response, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her ruling party, Bangladesh Awami League (BAL), have unleashed a wave of terror against these peaceful protesters. The government has mobilized the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL/BSL), a student wing notorious for its violent tactics, to brutally beat and intimidate the protestors.

On the third day of the protests, the repression escalated as the government deployed the police, Border Guard Bangladesh, and Rapid Action Battalion to further suppress the movement. The situation has been exacerbated by a media blackout, with national media channels too fearful to cover the events. Under the cover of night, BCL/BSL and government forces attack public and private university campuses, leaving students in a state of constant fear. Mobile internet services have been cut off to prevent news from spreading, creating an environment of isolation and terror.

The scale of the violence is staggering. Over 100 students have been killed, and more than 10,000 have been injured. These are not mere statistics; they are lives shattered by state-sponsored terrorism. The BCL/BSL, acting under direct orders from the government, has proven itself to be a terrorist organization that targets its own citizens.

Moreover, the presence of student politics in educational institutions, dominated by the BCL/BSL, has created a toxic and dangerous environment for students. We believe that educational institutions should be safe spaces for learning and personal development, not battlegrounds for political agendas and violence.

We demand:

• The immediate disbandment of the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL/BSL).
• An independent investigation into the violence and killings of students.
• Prosecution of those responsible for ordering and carrying out the attacks.
• Restoration of internet services and freedom of the press to report on these atrocities.
• Protection for students and all citizens exercising their right to peaceful protest.
• An end to student politics in educational institutions to ensure a safe and neutral environment for all students.

Stand with the students of Bangladesh. Demand justice. Sign the petition to call for an end to this state-sponsored terrorism, hold those in power accountable for their actions, and ensure that educational institutions remain places of safety and learning.

Students are not safe in Bangladesh.
