Hundreds of dead bodies of persons killed in Bangladesh
Background: The student quota movement in
Bangladesh began as a peaceful protest demanding reforms in the quota
system for government jobs, aiming to ensure merit-based opportunities for
all students. However, the government's response has been
excessively violent, resulting in deaths, injuries, and disappearances of
student activists. These actions amount to a genocide against students,
threatening their fundamental rights and freedoms.
