Just please read this single @dailystarnews article about the #Bangladesh police "investigation" (it is not really an investigation) into the death of student Abu Sayed on July 16th if you want to understand exactly how #Bangladesh authorities impute criminal responsibility. It is extraordinary revealing. The evidence: In two videos verified by Amnesty International, at least two police officers fired 12-gauge shotguns directly at him from across the street. Sayed clutched his chest on impact, and the officers fired at least two more times. What the police say: "The protesters fired weapons and threw chunks of bricks from different directions, and at one stage, a student was seen falling to the ground." The police accuse 2,000-3,000 unidentified people, including BNP and Jammat-Shibir activists, of killing Sayed. thedailystar.net/news/banglades…
