• As many as 174 people have died as a result of the government's ferocious crackdown on the student protests that escalated into civil unrest, according to a count by Daily Prothom Alo, a leading vernacular newspaper that notes the number could be much higher due to government restrictions. A Western diplomatic source estimates the number of injured at 10,000.
• The foreign ministry in Dhaka, meanwhile, invited foreign diplomats to a briefing on Sunday, during which the US ambassador Peter Haas criticised authorities over the killings, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP). Haas spoke first as authorities opened the floor after playing a 10-minute clip made by Somoy TV, a pro-government TV station, according to a diplomatic source. "I am surprised you did not show the footage of police firing at unarmed protesters," he quipped, according to AFP.
• Increased presence of army soldiers on ground.
• Police in the Bangladesh capital said at least 532 people, including senior leaders of the main opposition BNP and the largest Islamist party, Jamaat-e-Islami, were arrested.
• At least 61,000 people have been charged with violence over the unrest, according to Prothom Alo. Most of those charged are unidentified, a prelude to a looming legal crackdown ahead.

BD Internal security forces are using Spearhead system, which they acquired from Israeli firm Passitora (needless to say that is illegal since Bangladesh does not recognize Israel). These are mobile surveillance van that can hack into phones within a radius of about half a kilometer.

They got the delivery via Hungary. BAL is very close to Israelis behind the scene and with Modi connection, it is a no brainer.

Bangladeshis have now no other option than armed resistance. Army-police are killing unarmed people in hundreds if not thousands.

Unfortunately, there won't be any armed resistance, having India on all 3 sides is the problem. There is no way an armed resistance can sustain. It has to be a mutiny within the army.

But we are seeing army troops firing at people, so I am not hopeful at all that anyone within army will stand up.

The other alternative is international pressure. The expats need to step up and continue the pressure and get army and BAL sanctioned. Once the businesses and money starts drying up, and there is nowhere to run off to because of sanctions, may be we can get them to turn on each other.

Report coming out that the businesses are asking Hasina to turn on net as they are losing business and rmg orders going to other countries. She will be forced to get the net on, and once it happens, the news and videos of atrocities must be spread around the world.

Unless pro-West/Pro-China Arakan Army gets involved........... They are already heavily armed and can overrun border posts with ease. Most BD army guys are not used to real combat rather than scaring civilians anyway.

yeah...not sure you saw the meme in social media - "cats in the border, tigers in city". This was done to the military over the years at the command of India. Low morale, no integrity, basically bd military has turned into a glorified armed Chatra League.
