In a shocking display of violence, a mob in Bangladesh viciously attacked supporters of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on the site of a planned rally on Thursday (August 15). The activists, armed with bamboo sticks, iron rods, and pipes, ruthlessly assaulted the Hasina supporters, leaving many injured and bloody.
The incident highlights the ongoing political tensions and unrest in Bangladesh, where supporters of different parties often clash violently. The targeted attack on Hasina’s supporters raises concerns about the safety and security of political activists in the country.
Authorities must take action to quell the violence and ensure the protection of individuals exercising their right to peaceful assembly and expression. Such brutal attacks have no place in a democratic society and must be condemned in the strongest terms.
The assault on Hasina’s supporters serves as a grim reminder of the challenges facing political activists in Bangladesh and the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the political conflicts plaguing the nation.
