Most of Dhaka’s five-star hotels are not faring well for a dearth of guests, as political uncertainties and security concerns following the August 5 student movement are putting off most events and travel plans.
The measures taken by the interim government for the treatment of those injured in the July uprising are uncoordinated and they lack proper monitoring, said volunteers working for the injured and families of martyred protesters.
Harmony, reform, remembrance, and justice were the key demands of those who took to the streets and the families of those who laid down their lives during the July uprising.
The event began with a one-minute silence to honour the students and people, who fought against fascism
It was a clear moonlit night. There was a slight breeze. An eerie quiet blanketed the streets.
It was Monday, August 5, at exactly 10:46 in the morning when my phone rang. On the other end was a student from Jahangirnagar University, his voice trembling with fear and urgency.
A child steps onto the street from an alley -- only to be shot dead in an instant. A college student lies lifeless in a pool of blood at a city hospital, his phone vibrating with calls from “Maa”. And a “laasher michhil” (procession of bodies) on the streets of Dhaka.
Disturbing trend points to systemic corruption and extortion
"As an international policing agency, Interpol has been requested to take necessary steps to ensure her arrest"
