2:04 pm
now, 1st from british colonial rule, then pakistani colonial rule. and, you know, then it's now this time as well. so it's um, you know, it is a liberation movement and people are ecstatic and monumental date. danish, can you remind us because of course, these protests began peacefully, didn't a among students. i'm yeah, deep, the protest began peacefully and the protest docked it because the students weren't angry at the government of secrecy. now. there was a high court ruling that v instated government job for task. the students were basically under the because they believe that this job corps task just went, took them a fair, a field way off line for these dropped the school district, it or the delphi over 56 percent of the government jobs. and largely the students saw us just commit you because we believe it was the government of shit because the
2:05 pm
not that was speaking political advantage of this government dropped or does because 30 percent of the job for does what for families and relative of war veterans that had what, what that had for the board of independence of bangladesh against august on, on allow me leak the leading part. the of chickens didn't update the critic underwood and therefore it was the largest neat that defaulted basically favors the government of she could be now this dr. protecting peacefully, not states of protests for the 4th. and as if the protection of a, she cut the not a government out during her 15 you or danielle, when ever that has been crush decimal by exposition, by young people who buy in rent in even environment. and that is affection that the 24th and 4th is us. and this time it was the same strategy that the for the desk. what quest to correct? don't like the students take that to you to people who are very angry. and especially because the prime minister at that time sheet because the not all of
2:06 pm
them would have to date there's the focused on and this is the opposite of liquid not already. and i'm good. sure goodness, to such an extent, we're to be saw more than $200.00 people, mostly young. uh, don't people and students were good. and even then, uh, the guy he issued from the student, despite such a track down didn't stop. and yesterday we saw one of the deadliest, the severe us, so many people got killed. and over this, over this i worked for just a couple of days past drop. it drastically changing a situation. i would say their demands from the basically got feeling of the court system, which actually just the people did scan back, did the marks, didn't change students ignition a few minutes to and some other 2 months. and then finally, it's all going consolidated into one single, dim on the chick, cuz the not design from the government. and this is the 4th and just
2:07 pm
a couple of these and today uh, this the one of the main, the months the students had received that their demand actually, they have pushed for it and, and, and received these, the spectacular, i would say like really unbelievable. which was what a student protest movement can do in a coach that's we started an extremely fast moving story and talked to tell us what role is the ami playing right now in a bundle of dish. so the rule of army could, the noticeably shifted between the 2, you know, states of the protests. and the 1st one, of course they were implementing the shoot on side car few order. it seems, judging by the death toll that we saw. but in the 2nd state was started earlier this week they, it's reported that they maintain a relatively neutral role where they weren't the ones using for us. but they weren't necessarily intervening in the other security forces who were using 6 for
2:08 pm
us to like the police. and so right now, of course, um they have um, you know, they're, they're the only, uh, influential group of within the state machinery that can restore quote unquote law and order. but professors, i've also been very categorical that they didn't housed in motor credit government only to be ruled by a military government. so i think it needs to be very clear that the military rule is highly circumscribed only, you know, to facilitate a transition into an comfortable form of governance. and as long as the army realizes that, it's really there's, as i'm your facilitator, who it's tammy, of it, you know, and it has been, it's a timed on an exercise thing that's of crucial importance. and the last time to be had with a true in bunger, this was all set of all a child up period, which was 2000 and back in 2007 to that last and roughly a year and
2:09 pm
a few months. um so so, so that's the only president that we have to go by and the irony is that of the end of that military period is what brought she because he not to power. and since then she had remained empower um so um that's just um, you know, uh the immediate precedent that we have as a reference point. mm hm. finish. tell us more about the, the now top hold. government lead to shake casino. i'm ya. she has a very dramatic undivided tragic history. um she was outside a. she was not in bundle of dish and i'm talking about in 1971971 bun. glad this was great a, just a few years after she was out of the country and had entire family along with her father was good. she was outside with her sister. and this basically became, this'll brandon's discharge of tragedy. and this trauma became a central part of her, but it was after a few years to,
2:10 pm
to don't to bundle at these and then was able to get lots of support from the public or doing her entire political cutting. or she can see that, that, that incident to really shift her politics. she was never able to forget what had happened to her and had family. and therefore we see there was a lot of to dollar fee to works, but it was a position in bangladesh. and she's used on the firewall friendship when she got into publish them as you used all, have all the bible from very powerful people around her to maintain her government and, and therefore even now we see that reflection, the wish of treated this protest. and this effect, and in her enduring her entire leadership, but that is always a drag down on defense. and this was the sort of protest we can clearly see that there were many chances. and there were, there was room where the government could have a negotiated good,
2:11 pm
has talked with the students, but it was hers who would have become really, really a part of gideon and, and therefore she was facing a lot of criticism from bungler. they should be at the top, but you talked a little bit just now about the, the transition that we are in the process of, of witnessing is this a dangerous moment for bangladesh. as i would say, it's certainly a volatile moment, which has the capacity to be or potential to be dangerous this, you know, certain risk current averted. so as i mentioned, so currently we don't know any of the technicalities of what this in term governance mechanism with look like. but at the same time, you must realize everyone was brutalized by the very partisan police force. now, some of them are in the search, like to have a search for vengeance. and there are reports that one particular police station
2:12 pm
inductor body is surrounded by um, you know, individuals who are looking to even the score if you will, with the police officers there. so of course, that's why the army chief is for the encouraging restraint and oscar urging people to go back. um, so it's incredible. and so for our human rights plans, of course, we've seen an of the range of human rights violations. be committed by the security forces in the past few weeks, but now there is a risk that further violation is, might occur, is discharged for vengeance trans over restrain vinnish. m. tell us where in bangladesh, from whom shake shake josina got her support from and what position will they be taking now, if it's, if this question is really hard to answer, because of course there were paid here, it's been the chip cookie not did have public support but there are accusations
2:13 pm
that many times that she won the election either the either the opposition by corporate the elections because they didn't trust that the elections 55th did an accusation set in some election. she hard for support of the country military who had licked the election and to get to the reading of the elections. you want the government and it's of course it's really difficult to understand when you're building a country from last 15 years. how do you really assess the duty of just public support or not? because the election process has been a so weak in the country, but the main opposition to have by court date for the opposition of fig goes out in jail. i mean, holler, that's either one of the main office and because she's critically in the house with us. so when the country doesn't have free and fair elections regularly, it is really hard to assess if the enjoy public support or not. so and the, which was that the, see, the number of people that have gone on the streets against her speaks largely of
2:14 pm
the anger and the frustration that many by the other she's now have against. she casino me am took the, we knows this shake casino has now landed in india. did india supports her government completely? as i mean, that is what most other political analysts will tell you. um, so that was like, i mean, i think everyone could get stuff that would be here in an actual destination. but what's really important now is that india cooperate with the international communities in whatever. hopefully we are, or of course strength of government and for an international investigation mechanism. and we're urging the international community to do all it tends to build accountability for the human rights, severe human rights violations that occurs in the past 3 weeks. and so i like we would encourage you and member states to look at which includes india to, you know, be cognizant of their duty to ensure that this does not like in community does not
2:15 pm
prevail. just because her root has ended or the government has managed to escape, does not should not mean that the depths that occurred, the hundreds of depths that have a card that the justice still needs to be served for those steps. and we'll only get that this, there is an independent investigation into this and i would just to that touch them as the initial thing that to put the, the noise ation of the trauma that was in 19711975 is often what led to the front of authoritarianism. so i would highly, you know, implore that we don't fall into the same trap where we recognize that trauma from this particular incident to perpetrate further violence, right? the must rise above, you must rise above the violations of lead to this moment of liberation to ensure that liberation remains in place and finish.
