they want to kill me, and they try many times. they can some of my sources just because they don't put me facing with a gun can change your life. people need to know what is happening with guardians of truth. certainly 3rd on t w this is did of the news asia coming up to date suffering into longer. the collapse of the country's economy is threatening the lives and the likelihood of millions of people we hear from one fishing community that is being devastated by the crisis and id cards without photos. that's what this group of bunger issue women want. what are the chances the courts will agree? ah,

i british manager, welcome to d w. news asia get you could join us. international rights groups are urging the she duncan government to investigate the shooting dead by police of a protest her earlier this week. human rights watch in new york sees the 42 year old man was killed after police used what they called excessive force, including life ammunition to disperse an anti government demonstration in the town of rubble khana, at least 30 others were injured. felicia, the protest as ignored warnings to move on. tens of thousands of she lumpkins have been taken to the streets across the nation in the last 2 weeks to protest against the government handling of the west downturn in 70 years. acute shortage is a food and fuel and other basics are causing widespread suffering and anger.

hello ms. lisa, precedent and also payment isn't now also a member so bottom and please step down and stop this. my alan don disturbance don't disturb people because people are suffering. we can't make ends meet, we have no electricity, we don't have gas. the price of rice has skyrocketed them yet, so we have no choice but to go out on to the streets to try and throw this government out of the way to park in then we live. we want fuel at a reasonable price. we can't live with these prices. those who drive took took tax is comp make a living will be earned is not enough for 3 meals a day. i will up under my dad. and the lack of fuel is also impacting sri lankan fishing communities. fuel shortages means a few fishing boats head out to see which means which rather means fishermen are losing access to income d. deborah, correspond when you're not told that he reports every day for the last 40 years. jude has headed out to sea to fish to on money and to feed his family of 7.

dude says not so long ago, the fish business here in the gumble known as the fishing town of she lanka was good. people were making a decent living. but the industry has been hit hard by the konami crisis. and most of all the fuel shortage. there is not enough fuel any more for every one to put out to sea regularly. hard, i mercy at her, we've lost about 80 percent of her income on europe. allen. this village we have around 2000 boat. ashby, which used to had out regularly yagami, but now only 500 boats are able to go to see on any given day to fish a boat. right. because of a lack of fuel, as well as the i'm a give it a america and gambling knowledgeable fishing. and as she plays an important role and she'll anchors economy, and many communities depend on it, their boards need anywhere from 20 to 60 liter the fuel a deep. since the crisis hit fishermen have to wait for hours every day for fuel.

when they could be spending that time at sea fishing, what you see behind me right now is a long you of people, many of whom are fishermen who have been standing here outside a few, a shop for over 4 hours now, waiting to get kerosene. this is the situation in all the fuel shops across the country right now. the gamble has a tight knit fishing community. there are those who go out to fish doors who clean and cook, the fish, and those who sell them all have been impacted by the food shortage. random anesha . fernando has been a fishmonger for nearly 4 decades. she says her business has never been this bad. monumental fisher also expensive, now it got on and it's hard to sell them. if we didn't have this crisis. hm. all our boats could go out to fish and get enough to meet the demand. prices would go down, business would be smoother. and we'd have food back home, they go out on a thunderbolt with the crisis is having

a knock on effect. lendy pollock. i mean fishermen are not getting enough ice to keep that suppression. and a lack of fuel also means the current transport, big catch on time to the markets. dude says the fisherman took to the streets, demanding a solution to the fuel crisis from the government. it has yet to respond. we long abbernackey and luxury and i'm ashamed to admit that sometimes we're able to afford only one decent meal italian man, some of the new to me and it's not just me in my family or we're going through. this is nikki. there are many families in the fishing community in that room who are in the same boat trickery law to get any more than i mean is it do does not see a solution any time soon. but he still more to doubt to see than he can. after all, fishing is all he knows. he has spent the entire life doing just that.

a group of muslim women and bung another shot, demanding national id cards without their photos on them. the women affiliated to a religious school to say islam forbids them from showing their faces to anyone outside of their family. the matter is down, the harcourt and the government, a national election body have been asked for their responses to the demand. a meeting of the muslim women's organization, michaela angela and the group is demanding that women not be forced to use their pictures for bangladesh as national id cards. they say that violates their religious values to we would we want id cards without pictures so that we don't send we want to follow the koran? nobody could have the activists say that fingerprints can be used as an alternative moment. if a new to done with topic, it's hard to identify someone beyond a doubt if they are twins or look similar, i need like with finger printing. they never change from here, from childhood to old ichi day. i am hoping when will,

but the hub in the group is now going to court there argument women who refused to be photographed and do not receive id cards are deprived of their rights by not being able to access government services. the government argues that photo ideas are needed for public security available of them. what if the women committed a crime has a well then she has to be arrested or and put on trial of one of the how we supposed to identify. huh. i don't for them, it's just not practical. hey, go, you know, with the high them bangladesh, us government issued id cards, use a mix of photos, fingerprints, and i recognition technology. some experts say that while biometrics are easily processed by machines, human beings still rely on facial recognition. but it fingerprints are enough to detect or identify any one. 0, you can get it for you can't get around the fact that pitches are an important

biometric for identification in many situations. you know, it will now be up to the court to decide whether the id card rules are changed to accommodate the objections by some muslim women. and joining me for more from talker is sarah jose, and she's a supreme court lawyer and the human rights activist. this was an a legally speaking. are there any precedents in bungler? there's that allow for an exemption on religious ground from having photographs on a government id. is there not such exemptions available at the moment? and i'm not aware that right to this particular case and the mainland humans demand that anyone who's actually requested that. and speaking of the, my law undermined itself. i mean, how much influence to their wheeled in bangladesh, society my learn, janelle is affiliated to a religious body or 3rd go,

she referred you to that person's, but it doesn't. it's not one that i ross in terms of i activism and we have a very vibrant to women's movement, inbound vision. very diverse, one, women active them, different religious groups make groups across language and cast and so on. but we haven't really seen this group being active in those particular spaces around women's rights. i mean women's rights and also human rights are things that you are actively yourself involved with. i wonder how you view of this demand from my laundromat do demands like these. i mean, impact the police, are we men in bangladesh, a society? i mean, i think there are genuine issues and concerns around there, the right to privacy and so on. but i think that in, in, in, in the whole, by, with issue women over the last 50 years, as i said across community class cost has to have been really fighting for ins,

ensuring equality, and whether it's to do away with regressive practices and customer practices. what is to do away with the discrimination that is inherent in many customary laws and also religious laws. the, the plight has been to move towards equality and not to move away from it. and the fight is also been to move towards greater space in public and in private for women for grated life spacious. so i think this demand is, seems to me somewhat down to, to all of that. and he was on the issue of, you know, where the women can veil or not, that has not been as much of her of got control was seen by the should factor port . so high court has previously ruled that women can choose what to where they can choose whether they wish to rain or whether they wish not to be. and in the past where women who have been penalized for not veiling the court has been very t at that, no one can be forced to veil. so i think we, we have that position on the right to choose the right to freedom of expression, the right to person, liberty regarding what we mean, where and where they,

where it. so i think we don't have a position. so women aren't where the feel and by the just not with the question of seeing that the right to really should extend to not allowing your photograph to be taken for were national id to say to me does not seem like the logical argument. and i think there are clear clearly issues there around security, around verification of identity, even beyond security in terms of access to government services, which the id card is, is used for us. i think that one text doesn't seem to me logical to mind, but or does this in somewhere catered towards used palm section of society or, or at least reflective or for potentially thinking in a certain section of society and view things, but as dangerous. i think it's a, it's, you see me, a very small section that i'm making this door and we do have many women in bolivar . we are out of country where the majority of the population on was slims and many people do where is certain can many women do where a certain thank built somewhere

a felony job, but many simply where as you can see, you know, i had govern like this i'm and they don't, they don't require their thesis to be governed. the majority women were, oh, you know, from low income backgrounds were out in the streets working don't avail their full face. emma, that's not been our tradition. so i think in that sense, there isn't really an argument or tradition either. i think the argument in terms of law is, is problematic, that there is a right to privacy breaking in this case. there's also other, other counter issues in terms of, as i said, security and also our issue getting access to ours to state service and so on where i think it is full face. bailey is not, is not include here in demand and that wanted her house and relieve a barrier for the timing. but thank you so much for joining us today and sharing your insights with us. thank you very much. and that's it for today. be sure to check out the other stories on d, w dot com, forward slash aisha, or on facebook and twitter. i believe, you know,
