PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IS HAPPENING IN BANGLADESH RIGHT NOW

On July 29, a bus plowed through a group of students, killing two of them and injuring seven. In response to the utter uselessness of road safety laws, the nonexistent vetting of bus drivers to make sure they’re qualified to be on the road, and the lackluster pace of justice for the slain, students all over Dhaka descended on the streets to protest through this entire week. The response by authorities has been to attack them and do everything to suppress them. The student wing of the current ruling party, the aforementioned Chhatro League, has been involved in attacks against protesters as well.

International media is almost entirely unaware of this. Videos and posts about the protests are apparently being taken off of social media, with accusations that people on Facebook have been slandering the prime minister. Things are getting more and more serious every day.
