@PARVEJ04_2000 @TheDeshBhakt Thanks for sharing, I was so confused. I can’t imagine something like this happening in BD 😀

Things in #Bangladesh are totally out of control now.
A HIGH COURT in the country is hearing a plea to punish a prominent fact checker - because he had dared to tweet about the hate speeches of a controversial religious preacher - (who's a habitual offender - with more than 20 cases already registered against him)
In a classic case of shooting the messenger - the court is examining if the fact checker endangered the peace and sovereignty of the country (by broadcasting the truth of hate speeches) .... many are saying that this special treatment is being given because the fact checker in question belongs to the minority community.

@Prof_FSultana Someone needs to stop him. He himself told Barkha that he is not confident to run a government but at the beginning he said he wants to lead AL. In one interview he made contradictory statements 😀

I haven't been able to contact my family in Bangladesh in the last 36 hours. There is no internet, and the phone lines are jammed. This needs to end soon. Hoping and praying everyone is safe back home #StudentprotestBangladesh

#Bangladesh: @volker_turk urges authorities to engage w/ student protesters. All acts of violence & use of force, esp. resulting in loss of life, must be investigated & perpetrators held to account. Freedom of expression & peaceful assembly are fundamental human rights
