BANGLADESH NEEDS HELP! PLEASE READ AND SPREAD THE WORD!

This is the current situation in Bangladesh and although it began as some amazingly peaceful protests by the students, it quickly spiraled into this due to the Bangladesh government’s attempt to shut it down. Although a couple international news outlets are reporting about the protests, though sparingly, the rapes and murders enacted by the POLICE and members of the government based student league on these CHILDREN and TEENAGERS protesting aren’t being reported properly despite protesters in Bangladesh speaking up about it. Today, Facebook posts made by protesters IN Bangladesh have been deleted/censored by the government.

The government has even started disabling internet services in certain areas and refusing medical access. It seems like it’s only getting worse from here.

Please spread this to raise awareness so that steps can be taken to stop this massive violation of human rights. #WeWantJustice #SafeRoadsForAll
