international

The attack on Awami League supporters, activists, and leaders who were trying to pay tribute on Shahid Noor Hossain Day in Dhaka at Gulistan, the capital city of Bangladesh, on Sunday should be brought to trial by proper investment. The London-based humanitarian organization Amnesty International stated this on its X (Twitter) account on Monday from the South Asian office.

Amnesty’s statement said that attacking people based on their political beliefs is a violation of their rights to freedom of expression, assembly, and association. Authorities must take steps to protect and uphold these rights for all people, regardless of their political affiliations.SM
