Fakhrul: Awami League unleashed terror to foil student movement
This news article from the Dhaka Tribune (published August 5, 2024) reports on a statement made by BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, in which he accused the ruling Awami League government of violently suppressing a student-led protest movement in Bangladesh. Fakhrul alleged that law enforcement and Awami League cadres killed approximately 100 people and injured over 1,000 others during the unrest, and accused the government of staging attacks on establishments like BSMMU to falsely blame protesters. The article covers Fakhrul's key accusations and demands, including calling on the Prime Minister to resign, condemning internet and social media shutdowns, criticizing the imposition of an indefinite curfew, and urging BNP supporters to back the Students Against Discrimination movement's "March to Dhaka" program. He also pledged that those responsible for killing students and civilians would face trial.
