3:03 pm
here in the studio and tucked the who a south asia specialist amnesty international in london. and i began by austin tucked way to characterize this day for the finally, the few people, the inner words, its monumental. we have witnessed nothing comparable in that least recent living memory. it is a restoration of the people's ultimate assertion to their rights to be free to be liberated. in fact, yesterday when i was here, i mentioned that this is a liberation movement. you see bundle they said spock for liberation. it's 4 times 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, monumental day being as can you remind us because of course, these protests began peacefully, didn't a among students i'm yeah, deep,
3:04 pm
the protest began peacefully and the protest stock that because the students weren't angry at the government of secrecy, now there was a high court ruling that v instated government job for the task. the students were basically under the because the belief that this job corps task rented them a fair, a field way off line for these jobs. the school district, it ordered the fee over 56 percent of the government jobs. and largely the students saw asterisk of nature because they believed it was the government of shit because the not that was speaking political advantage of this government job for task. because part the percent of the job for does what for the families and relative of war veterans that had what, what that had for the board of independence of fund gladish against august on, on allow me leak the leading party of chicken c. not be the critic underwood and
3:05 pm
therefore it was the large deed that this report that basically favors the government of she could be not this dr. protecting peacefully, not states of protests for the 4th. and as is the protection of a, she cut the not a government out during her 15th or danielle, or when ever that have been for specified as position by young people by in rank even environmental. this is a projection that the 24th and 4th issue was and this time it was the same strategy that the, for the test for quest to correct don't like the students w 2 people are very angry. and especially because the prime minister at that time sheet because the not all of them would have to date there's the focused on. and this is the opposite because not already. and i'm good to go to such an extent. we had, we saw more than 200 people, mostly young. uh, don't people and students were good. and even then a drug issue from distribution despite such
3:06 pm
a class. so didn't stop. and yesterday we saw one of the dead, the a, the, a severe us, so many people got killed. and over this, over this, i would suggest a couple of 55 struck drastically changing a situation. i would say their demands from the basically guard building of the system, which actually just the people did scan back, did the marks, didn't change students ignition a few minutes, the and, and, and some other 2 months. and then finally, it's all going consolidated into one single dom on the chick cuz united zine from the government. and this is forced in just a couple of these. and today, up this, the one of the main de months the students had received that their demand actually, they have pushed for it and, and, and received these, this spectacular, i would say like really unbelievable. which was what a student protest movement can do in a crunch. as we said,
3:07 pm
an extremely fast moving story and talk the tell us what role is the ami playing right now and then bangladesh. a 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 site curfew 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 are using 6 for 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 up for the testers, i've also been very categorical that they didn't housed in motor credit and government only to be ruled by
3:08 pm
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 realtors, as a mere facilitator who it's temple of it 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 volatile to that period which was 2000 and back in 2007 to that last and roughly a year and a few months. um so so, so that's the only president that we have to go by end of the irony is that 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. spanish tell us more about the,
3:09 pm
the now toppled government liter. shay casino. i guess she has a very dramatic undivided tragic history. um, she was outside a she was not in bug like dish and i'm talking about a 19 from 1971. but i'm glad this was great a, just a few years after she was out of the country and had entire family along with her father more skilled, she was a type with her sister. and this basically became, this'll brandon's discharge of tragedy. and this trauma became a central part of part, but it was after a few years you'd have done 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 is really shape her politics. she was never able to forget what had happened to her and had family. and therefore, we see there was
3:10 pm
a lot of to dial it the to words, but it took a position in bangladesh and she's used all bible friendship, friendship gardening, to 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 way she treated this book test and this effect and in her, in, during 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, has talked with the students, but it was hers who had become really, really a part of didn't. and, and therefore she was facing a lot of criticism from bangladesh should be at the top. but you talked a little bit just now about the, the transition that we are in the process of,
3:11 pm
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 in dr. berry 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. and so it's incredible, right. and so for our human rights plans, of course,
3:12 pm
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 violations from mitel car is discharged for vengeance trans over restraint. ok, finish and tell us where in bangladesh from whom shake shake has seen a 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 periods vendor chickens, the not did have public support, but there are accusations that many times that she won the election either the either the opposition by corporate the elections because they didn't trust the elections. but they said that expectations that in some elections, she had for the support of the country disability overhead licked the induction. and to the, to the reading of the election, she won the government. and it's, of course, it's really difficult to understand when you're reading
3:13 pm
a country from last 15 years. how do you really assess the do just just a big 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 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 fleet and 5th elections regularly, it is really hard to assess if the enjoyed 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 the, i'm good, i'm the frustration that many by me, other she's now have against. she casino me, am tech the, we knows this a shade casino has now landed in india. did india support her government completely? as i mean, that is what most public political analysts will tell you. um,
3:14 pm
so that was like, i mean, i think everyone could guess that that would be, are natural destination. but what's really important now is that india cooperate with data, international communities, in whatever. hopefully we are or restaurant or government and for an international investigation mechanism. and very urgent 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 would like, we would encourage you and member states to which includes india to, you know, be cognizant of their duty to ensure that this does not live in community does not prevail. just because her rule 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 occurred. but 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 will just to that touch them as the initial thing
3:15 pm
that the, the, the recognize 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 in being a ship. i could just talk about a moment that in all of the extraordinary images that we've seen in the last hour is not to mention the last to days and weeks. and moment that you know, really stands out is the image of the statue of shake has.
