#AllEyesOnTuRaag :
Allegations of Cover-Up in Turag River Killings Surface📍
According to credible sources, a DGFI team has been present at Turag Police Station all day in connection with the killings of Chhatra League and Jubo League activists. Their bodies were allegedly dumped in the Turag River.
Police reportedly contacted families of the three recovered victims, pressuring them to file "unnatural death" (UD) cases instead of proper murder complaints.
Senior BNP-led government figures are said to have involved the Bangladesh Army and DGFI to "resolve" the matter quietly. A press conference is reportedly scheduled for tomorrow, where families are expected to speak under possible influence.
This raises serious questions about attempts to conceal politically motivated killings.
We demand:
▫️ Full transparency and independent investigation.
▫️ Justice for the victims and their families.
▫️ An end to political violence and cover-ups.
▫️ Rule of law, not suppression.
Stand with Awami League (@albd1971) leaders, activists, and all victims of injustice. Raise your voice against this brutality. Bangladesh deserves truth and accountability.

When #FreedomOfSpeech is a joke in #Bangladesh
#Bangladesh : Woman Detained for Criticising #BNP Government on Facebook Live.
Is Criticising the Government Now a Punishable Offence?
A female entrepreneur in Bhaluka, #Mymensingh, was detained on Sunday (25 October) after criticising the deteriorating law and order situation and the ruling #BNP during a Facebook Live broadcast.
Sathi Akter, owner of Sathi Beauty Parlour, had reportedly suffered repeated thefts at her business establishments. Frustrated by the worsening security situation, she went live on Facebook to question the government's failure to maintain law and order.
She also expressed regret over voting for the BNP.
Her criticism apparently did not sit well with local BNP activists and supporters, who apprehended her and handed her over to the police.
Think about the implications: A woman complains about repeated thefts at her businesses, questions the government's performance, and regrets her voting choice. Instead of addressing her grievances, political activists detain her and hand her over to law enforcement.
Since when did criticising the government become a crime? And what legal authority do ruling-party activists have to apprehend citizens for expressing political opinions?
Freedom of expression means little if citizens cannot criticise those in power without fear of retaliation.

According to police and local sources, a long-standing dispute had been ongoing with neighbor Asaduzzaman and his associates over an access road adjacent to the residence of the late Azizul Master in Naya Mollapara village.
On Sunday afternoon, a heated argument broke out between the two sides over the boundary of the road. As tensions escalated, teacher Manoranjan Roy arrived at the scene to mediate the dispute and calm both parties. At that point, Asaduzzaman and his associates became enraged and suddenly attacked Manoranjan Master.

Bangladesh Awami League strongly condemns the reported “crossfire” remarks by Inspector General of Police (IGP) Md Ali Hossain Fakir, suggesting that police could resort to such measures if the government permits. Such statements from the country’s highest-ranking police official raise grave concerns about human rights, constitutional safeguards, and the rule of law.
No government permission can legitimize an extrajudicial killing. The right to life, due process, and equal protection under the law must be upheld for every citizen, regardless of political affiliation or accusation.
Bangladesh Awami League demands clarification and withdrawal of these remarks, along with accountability. Law enforcement must serve justice within the Constitution - not undermine it.
No one is above the law, and no authority should be above accountability.

Government Failure and Impunity: The Surge in Violence Against Women and Girls in Bangladesh: 2,404 victims in nine months of 2026, and perpetrators who go unpunished.
📷 Government Failure and Impunity: The Surge in Violence Against Women and Girls in Bangladesh
2,404 victims in nine months of 2026, and perpetrators who go unpunished
By Raudra Rudra
Political and Security Analyst
Since the political upheaval of 5 August 2024, the women of Bangladesh have faced a harsh reality. Under the government of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, mothers and daughters could move safely at home and in public. Strict state oversight and a zero-tolerance policy meant that offenders could not expect to escape punishment. Today, that sense of security is gone. Violence is rising, and justice is absent.
▪️ The Numbers: A Rising Tide of Violence
According to a report by the Human Rights Support Society (HRSS), between January and September 2026, 2,404 women and girls in Bangladesh were subjected to violence. Of these, 657 were raped, including 392 children and adolescents. During the same period, 130 women were gang-raped, and 29 women were murdered after being raped. Another 693 women were sexually harassed. Domestic violence killed 457 women and injured 279, while 213 were driven to suicide. Dowry-related violence killed 32 women and injured 35. In addition, 1,810 children were subjected to violence: 494 were killed, and 1,316 suffered physical or psychological abuse.
Roughly 60 percent of rape victims were children or adolescents. HRSS also reports that 1,621 women and girls were abused in the first six months of 2026 alone, about 56 percent more than in the same period of the previous year. The situation is not only grave; it is considerably worse than a year ago. The Bangladesh Mahila Parishad's 2025 monitoring found a similar pattern: of 786 documented victims of rape and gang rape, 543 (about 69 percent) were under 18. Because stigma, fear, and the expectation of being denied justice keep many survivors silent, the true scale is likely to be far higher.
▪️ The Government's Failure to Protect
Protecting women and children is the most basic duty of any government. Yet the illegitimate BNP government has left that duty unfulfilled through its inaction, its political patronage of offenders, and its administrative indifference. The culture of impunity that took hold after 5 August has grown bolder under the current government. Its consequences, passivity in law enforcement and political protection for perpetrators, are visible in women's lives every day.
▪️ A Culture of Impunity
When offenders know that punishment is uncertain, they are emboldened. This impunity now shadows every part of women's lives. The home should be a refuge, yet 457 deaths and 213 suicides linked to domestic violence show that laws exist on paper but are not enforced. Schools, universities, and workplaces are also unsafe. According to Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK), mob violence killed 197 people in 2025 alone, and women and children are among the easiest targets for an enraged crowd. Online, too, women have no refuge: doxxing, AI-generated deepfake images, character assassination, and rape threats are being used to silence and confine women's rights activists, teachers, and journalists. A society in which mothers and sisters are this exposed has little claim to freedom or democracy.
▪️ A Call to the International Community
Bangladesh is a state party to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. These treaties oblige the state to protect women and children from violence and to ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice. In the absence of accountability, those commitments have become promises on paper. We therefore call on the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls, the CEDAW Committee, UN Women, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and all human rights organizations to:
- independently investigate and monitor violence against women and children in Bangladesh;
- hold the government accountable for the culture of impunity;
- play an active role in providing legal, psychological, and social protection to survivors.
▪️ From Protest to Resistance
Candlelight vigils and silent protests cannot end this brutality. Protest only announces an injustice; resistance prevents it from happening. Resistance means stopping rapists and abusers and closing every door of society to them. It means standing beside survivors with legal, social, and psychological support, so that no one has to fight alone. It means socially boycotting perpetrators and their political patrons, so that they find refuge nowhere.
No more silence, no more mere lamentation. The mothers and daughters of Bangladesh will no longer only protest; they will resist. We urge the world's conscience to stand with the women of Bangladesh. Our struggle will not stop until this force of oppression is eradicated.

Death Threats for Seeking Justice - Welcome to BNP’s Bangladesh
Filing a case after your business is attacked should not come with a death threat.
Yet in the capital, the manager of AJR Courier is told: settle or your body will be left on the street.
This is not an isolated crime. This is what happens when a government loses control of the streets and abandons those who dare to seek legal protection. Ordinary citizens and business owners are now left to choose between silence and risking their lives.

#Bangladesh's Top #Cop Openly Advocates Extrajudicial Killings in the Name of Maintaining Law and Order.
"If the government allows, we won't hesitate to use crossfire to control the law and order situation."
This alarming statement was reportedly made by Bangladesh's Inspector General of #Police (IGP), Md. Ali Hossain Fakir, at an event in #Chattogram on Monday, 26 October 2026.
Source: @dbcnews_tv
In Bangladesh, the term "crossfire" has long been associated with a notorious practice of extrajudicial killings, in which deaths at the hands of law enforcement agencies are presented as the consequences of supposed armed encounters or exchanges of gunfire.
The term is not merely a euphemism. It carries a deeply troubling history of alleged summary executions, fabricated encounters, and the systematic denial of due process and accountability.
Against this backdrop, the IGP's remarks amount to an apparent endorsement of extrajudicial killings by the country's highest-ranking police official, subject only to government authorisation.
This raises a fundamental question: Since when does government permission make an extrajudicial killing lawful?
No government can legitimately authorise law enforcement agencies to bypass the courts and execute individuals suspected of criminal activity.
The right to life, the presumption of innocence, and the right to a fair trial are fundamental legal protections, not privileges that can be suspended at the discretion of the executive.
Beyond the grave #humanrights implications, there is no credible basis for treating extrajudicial killings as an effective or sustainable solution to deteriorating law and order.
Such practices risk encouraging impunity, undermining public trust in the police, and further weakening the rule of law.
Rather than advocating a return to a discredited and abusive practice, the IGP should focus on addressing the structural problems undermining law enforcement in Bangladesh.
These include the lack of professionalism within policing institutions, overt political interference, #corruption, weak #accountability mechanisms, misuse of law enforcement resources to target political opponents of the government, and failures in criminal investigation and prosecution.
Bangladesh does not need more extrajudicial killings.
It needs professional, impartial, accountable, and effective law enforcement.

🚨 Billion-Dollar Boeing Deal Amid Economic Hardship? ✈️
At a time when Bangladesh’s economy is struggling with slowing growth, persistent inflation, and falling purchasing power, the current government is pursuing a multibillion-dollar Boeing aircraft deal.
FY2025 GDP growth is estimated at just 3.7% , while inflation is projected at 9.2% in 2026. Ordinary families are already struggling to afford basic necessities. Yet instead of prioritizing recovery, job creation, and relief, the government is making massive financial commitments without clear explanations on affordability, financing, or long-term costs.
A reported $7.2 billion aircraft purchase is drawing scrutiny when millions are under severe cost-of-living pressure.
Critics note that under Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh pursued major international partnerships while protecting strategic interests. The Awami League is now demanding transparency, fiscal responsibility, and policies that put the welfare of ordinary Bangladeshis first.

Bangladesh's garment exports to the European Union plunged 11.67% in just eight months, wiping out approximately €1.58 billion in export earnings.
While Bangladesh loses ground, China and Vietnam are gaining it.
This is not a minor statistical setback. It is a warning about the competitiveness of the industry that sustains millions of livelihoods and brings Bangladesh billions in foreign exchange.
The BNP government cannot keep hiding behind political slogans while the country's economic lifeline comes under mounting pressure.
When export earnings collapse, jobs, wages, foreign exchange, and economic stability are all at risk.
Bangladesh needs urgent action - not excuses, not propaganda, and certainly not complacency.
