Bangladesh: Students fight for justice

The protesting students of Bangladesh  are fighting for justice in the face of unprecedented repression by the police, armed forces and goon squads organised by the Awami League ruling party, a Bangali activist with Deshis for Liberation told Green Left’s Peter Boyle on July 21.

Deshis for Liberation is a Bangali-led and formed group for collective liberation. It respects different cultural, historical and economic aspects of issues and is against oppression for all marginalized peoples. It believes in creating systemic change through education and action.

‘Zaria’ (not her real name to protect her family) said Bangladeshis on the ground want things to deescalate without foreign influence or intervention, in the civil unrest other parties and groups are trying to take advantage of the situation.
