The report describes a meeting on July 19th in which Hasina allegedly instructed senior officials to “arrest the ringleaders of the protests, the troublemakers, kill them and hide their bodies.” netra.news/2025/un-rights-of…

I’ve written to the @UKLabour Party Chairman @elliereeves to call on Labour to sever their ties with the Awami League. There are serious questions Keir Starmer and the Labour Party need to answer about their connection to a political party facing accusations of embezzlement and “crimes against humanity.” – at Lambeth, London

This is amusing about @TulipSiddiq from the UK @spectator. Don't be fooled by the headline. "Anyway, there are certain small-minded people who are insinuating that all this is a bit rum. Instead of seeing an aunt’s innocent love for her sister and her nieces, and wish to do the best for them, echoed in the feelings of several of her multimillionaire political associates, they wonder where all this money has come from, and ask cui bono, and suchlike. They even have the cheek to suggest that it might not be seemly for a British politician whose specific brief is anti-corruption to appear to be benefiting from thousands of pounds worth of largesse from the scions of a deposed and discredited foreign regime and its allies. Well, I can’t see it myself. And nor can Tulip’s friend and patron Sir Keir Starmer, who declares that she still enjoys his full confidence. Good on him. As Our Lord nearly said: let he whose family hasn’t been accommodated over the years in a multi-million-pound web of north London property owned or donated by associates of a Bangladeshi political party throw the first stone." spectator.co.uk/article/is-i…

I extend my heartfelt condolences on the passing of former US President Jimmy Carter, an icon of peace, democracy, and human rights. As a global statesman, his unwavering commitment to justice and equality has left a lasting mark on the world. For Bangladesh, his legacy holds a special place. President Carter's support during our country's formative years and his warm relationship with President Ziaur Rahman were instrumental in strengthening the bond between our nations. His contributions will forever be cherished with deep respect and gratitude. May his life and principles continue to inspire generations to uphold the values of democracy and peace.

Standing in solidarity with the courageous people of South Korea as they continue their stand for democracy. In Bangladesh, we have endured a repressive regime for over a decade, and so we deeply understand the pain, resilience, and resolve it takes to confront oppression. Both our nations know the dangers of elected governments exploiting democratic loopholes for their own purposes. Yet, the triumphs of democracy-loving citizens in Bangladesh and South Korea are a testament to an undeniable truth: no individual or group can overcome the unwavering will of a free and determined people. To safeguard the future, it is imperative that both political leaders and citizens remain ever vigilant, ensuring that democracy is never subverted again. By building strong democratic institutions, we can protect the rights of our people and secure a just and free society. Together, we strive for justice, liberty, and enduring democracy. #Democracy #Bangladesh #SouthKorea
