“Two Bodies, One Mother’s Arms”: A Mother’s Heartbreaking Account of a Double Murder in Bangladesh
On 20 September 2026, Ahad Ahmed Etu, convener of the Bashtuli Union Chhatra League in Rampal, Bagerhat, and his father were brutally attacked, allegedly by BNP activists.
In a devastating account, Ahad’s mother, Nazma Begum, recalls rushing from her kitchen to find both her son and husband bleeding from machete wounds. With no immediate help, she carried both on a single van, holding one in her arms and the other on her lap. Her son died before reaching the hospital.
“Who should I take, and where?” she asks, recounting the unimaginable agony of a mother forced to carry her husband and son together.
Her plea is simple: Let no other mother lose her child this way. Let justice be served.
How many more lives must be lost before political violence ends in Bangladesh?

📷 Hindu Persecution Intensifies Ahead of Durga Puja in Bangladesh
A Hindu businessman, Manik Chakraborty, has reportedly lost his home to a late-night arson attack ahead of Durga Puja. The incident marks the second such attack in the Hindu-majority locality, leaving three other families homeless.
As families face the prospect of spending their biggest religious festival under the open sky, serious questions arise over minority safety, accountability and the growing climate of religious hatred in Bangladesh.
No family should lose its home or its right to celebrate in peace because of its faith. Where is justice?

Multiple Cases Against Chinmoy Krishna Das Raise Questions Over Alleged Attempts to Silence the Sanatani Community
Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, spokesperson for the Bangladesh Sammilito Sanatani Jagaran Jote, has been facing multiple criminal cases and prolonged detention, raising concerns about whether legal proceedings are being used to suppress the voice of the Sanatani community.
One of the major cases against him is a sedition case related to allegations of disrespecting the national flag. The High Court granted him bail in the case, but the bail was later stayed following an appeal by the state.
Chinmoy has subsequently been shown arrested in several other cases. Although the High Court recently granted him bail in two cases, he remains in custody because of other pending cases.
The situation has also raised serious humanitarian concerns. His mother, Sandhya Rani Dhar, was reportedly seriously ill and wanted to see her son for the last time. His family sought parole so that Chinmoy could meet his dying mother, but he was not allowed to see her while she was alive.
After her death, arrangements were made for him to attend her final rites.
The circumstances have prompted an important question: Are the cases against Chinmoy Krishna Das solely part of a legitimate judicial process, or are they also being used—intentionally or otherwise—to silence a prominent voice speaking on behalf of the Sanatani community?
The allegations against Chinmoy should be decided through a fair and transparent judicial process. At the same time, the state has a responsibility to ensure that criminal cases are not used as a means of political or religious persecution or to suppress legitimate demands for minority rights.
The controversy surrounding Chinmoy Krishna Das therefore goes beyond the courtroom. It has become a broader test of Bangladesh’s commitment to equal rights, religious freedom, due process and the protection of minority voices.

You may break brick after brick at #Dhanmondi32, but you cannot erase what it represents. A building can be demolished; history, memory and the place it holds in the hearts of millions cannot. Attacks and intimidation cannot rewrite Bangladesh’s history.

Families Allege Political Detainees Denied Food and Safe Drinking Water at Bangladesh High-Security Prison
Fresh allegations of serious human rights abuses have emerged from Kashimpur High Security Central Jail (Part-4) in Gazipur, where families and former inmates claim that political detainees linked to the Awami League were deliberately deprived of food and access to safe drinking water following a virtual address by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
According to accounts from prison sources and former detainees, punitive measures are allegedly imposed whenever Sheikh Hasina delivers a public statement. They claim that political prisoners are subjected to collective punishment, including the suspension of regular meal distribution and restrictions on access to essential services.
Relatives of detainees say inmates spent much of the day without food after Wednesday’s speech. Former prisoners further allege that those attempting to purchase food from the prison canteen with their own money faced repeated obstacles.
One former detainee also alleged that prisoners were, at times, forced to drink water from washroom facilities instead of being provided with safe drinking water, describing the practice as degrading and incompatible with basic standards of humane treatment.
If verified, such allegations could amount to violations of internationally recognized human rights standards, including the UN Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (the Nelson Mandela Rules), which require that prisoners receive adequate food, clean drinking water, and be treated with dignity, without discrimination or collective punishment.
Human rights advocates have long maintained that all detainees, regardless of their political affiliation or the charges they face, are entitled to fundamental protections under both domestic law and international human rights norms.
Families of those detained have called for an independent investigation into the allegations and urged the authorities to ensure that all prisoners are provided with adequate food, safe drinking water, medical care, and protection from abuse. They have also appealed for independent monitoring of detention conditions to determine whether the reported practices are occurring and to hold those responsible accountable if the allegations are substantiated.

A Series of Deaths of Awami League Leaders After Arrest: Illness or Alleged Torture in Law Enforcement Custody?
In recent months, members and leaders of the Awami League and its affiliated organizations have been arrested in a series of cases. Since then, the deaths of several party activists following their arrests have raised questions among their families and across the country.
Authorities have generally described these deaths in prison or law enforcement custody as resulting from illness or natural causes. However, the families of the deceased allege that the deaths were caused by torture while in custody. As a result, each incident has sparked public debate and concern.
Most recently, the deaths of two Awami League and Chhatra League activists within 24 hours of their arrests have intensified those concerns. Their families, along with many observers, have called for independent, transparent, and impartial investigations, saying such unusual deaths cannot simply be ignored.
Among the latest cases is that of Mirza Ishtiaq Ahmed (28), also known as Pranto, a Chhatra League activist from Madhukhali in Faridpur, who died while in Detective Branch (DB) custody. The following day, Nurul Alam, a local Jubo League leader from Chattogram, died in prison after being arrested.
According to reports, Nurul Alam died on Wednesday morning, one day after being sent to Chattogram Central Jail. He was known as the Joint Convener of the Dhemsha Union Jubo League in Satkania Upazila, Chattogram.
Prison authorities stated that Nurul Alam fell ill on Wednesday morning and was taken to Chattogram Medical College Hospital, where doctors declared him dead. His death certificate listed respiratory complications as the cause of death.
Senior Jail Superintendent Md. Iqbal Hossain said Nurul Alam had been arrested in connection with a case on Tuesday afternoon and sent to prison. According to him, the detainee became ill after arriving at the jail. As his condition deteriorated on Wednesday morning, he was rushed to Chattogram Medical College Hospital, where the attending physician pronounced him dead at around 7:30 a.m.
However, Nurul Alam's family has questioned the official account of his death and demanded an independent investigation. The recent deaths of several Awami League activists following their arrests have fueled nationwide debate and renewed calls for transparency, accountability, and impartial investigations into such incidents.

Another Chhatra League Leader Dies in Law Enforcement Custody; Family Alleges Death Resulted from Torture.
Faridpur: Mirza Ishtiaq Ahmed (28), also known as Pranto, a Chhatra League activist from Madhukhali in Faridpur, has died while in the custody of the Detective Branch (DB) of the police. His family alleges that he died as a result of torture in custody, while police claim he became ill and died during treatment.
Pranto was a resident of Paschim Gondardiya in Madhukhali Municipality. He was the son of the late Eskander Haider and a student at Faridpur Law College.
According to his family, a team identifying themselves as DB police officers detained Pranto from in front of his home at around 6:00 p.m. on Saturday (20 June). They allege that he was beaten during the arrest and that officers later searched the family home, ransacking rooms and damaging household belongings.
Pranto's uncle, Md. Sakhawat Hossain, said no narcotics were found during either the body search or the house search. The family disputes the subsequent claim that drugs had been recovered.
His mother, Khadija Akter, said, “My son was taken away in good health. No drugs were found on him or in our house. I want to know how he died after being taken into custody. We demand a fair, impartial, and transparent investigation.”
However, DB Officer-in-Charge Md. Alamgir Hossain said that after completing the legal formalities, Pranto was brought to the DB office at around 3:30 a.m. He said Pranto had breakfast and offered the Fajr prayer before suddenly falling ill. He was first taken to Faridpur General Hospital and later transferred to Faridpur Medical College Hospital, where he died at approximately 7:45 a.m. on Sunday (21 June).
The incident has raised fresh concerns over deaths in law enforcement custody. While the family maintains that Pranto died as a result of torture, police deny the allegation and insist that he died after suffering a sudden illness.
The family has called for an independent, impartial, and transparent investigation to determine the actual cause of his death.

#Breaking
The reckless actions of the newly formed "Bangladesh Azad Party" in Dhaka's Gulshan area represent a dangerous brand of street-level politics that actively harms our national interests . By organizing a chaotic "torch march" toward the Indian High Commission and burning the effigy of India’s Home Minister, this fringe group is prioritizing cheap political stunts over national security.
Carrying open fire into a highly secure diplomatic zone like Gulshan is not patriotism—it is an irresponsible, lawless act that could have easily escalated into violence. The Azad Party’s aggressive posturing exposes their complete lack of diplomatic understanding and political maturity.
Provoking a neighboring state with amateurish stunts achieves absolutely nothing on the negotiating table. Instead, it risks isolating Bangladesh and undermining official channels of communication. These actions seem less about state sovereignty and more about using hostile rhetoric to gain quick local traction. Furthermore, such hostile acts invite dangerous counter-reactions across the border, potentially putting Bangladeshi nationals, students, and travelers in India in harm's way. There is a growing concern that these fringe platforms are being used as proxies by larger, opportunistic elements to deliberately sabotage stable bilateral relations.
True sovereignty is defended through strong, dignified, and strategic diplomacy, not through arson and chaotic street marches. The authorities must take a firm stance against the Azad Party’s attempt to hijack the country's foreign policy for their own reckless and self-serving agenda.

In just three months, 915 lives have been lost to murder, painting a grim picture of a nation increasingly haunted by violence. From the streets of Dhaka to the towns of Chattogram and Khulna, gunfire, political clashes, targeted killings and criminal turf wars have become alarmingly common.
Since the 2024 political transition and the BNP-led government's assumption of power, concerns over law and order have intensified. Intelligence reports suggest that previously dormant criminal networks have resurfaced, while political rivalries and armed confrontations continue to fuel bloodshed across the country.
Despite mass arrests and security operations, public confidence remains shaken. The failure to recover looted weapons, the influence of politically connected criminals, and weak accountability mechanisms have all contributed to a growing sense of insecurity.
As communities mourn hundreds of victims and fear spreads through neighborhoods, Bangladesh faces a critical challenge: Can the rule of law prevail, or will the sound of gunfire continue to define daily life?

Statement by the Bangladesh Awami League Protesting Obstruction of the Historic March 7 Speech, Repression, and Arrests
—
March 7 is an unforgettable day in the life of the Bengali nation. The decisive struggle for the establishment of the state of Bangladesh effectively began on March 7, 1971, and concluded on January 10, 1972. The war that began with Bangabandhu’s historic speech on March 7 reached its final culmination with the Father of the Nation’s return to his homeland.
In the past, many military, civilian, and so-called “civil society” governments attempted to erase March 7 from history. However, the spontaneous remembrance of the masses only increased its significance. Today, it has been recognized by UNESCO as part of the “Memory of the World” documentary heritage.
It is deeply regrettable that the current government appears to be following the same path as those previous governments. Treating the playing of Bangabandhu’s historic March 7 speech as a crime, police from Shahbagh Police Station yesterday arrested several students of Dhaka University. Before the arrests, extremists reportedly subjected them to abuse and torture.
Meanwhile, at the house on Dhanmondi Road 32 — which has already been reduced to ruins due to attacks and vandalism by militants — several rickshaw pullers were arrested simply for paying respect to the memory of the Father of the Nation at that historic site. They were later sent to court under cases filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act. In the same way, in different parts of the country, many leaders and activists have faced harassment and mob attacks for the same reason. This raises a serious question: does the country truly have a functioning government?
Regarding such arrests and repression, we would only say this: learn from history. As an established truth of history, March 7 and the Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, will remain eternally remembered and continue to shine ever more brightly. No falsehood or distorted history will be able to suppress that truth.
Joy Bangla
Joy Bangabandhu
Long live Bangladesh.
