Bangladesh: Security Forces Kill Protestors

Recently in Bangladesh, corrupt police have been using excessive force on civilians for no valid reason. During street protests, police have been reported to attack the civilians, including women and children. The police are reported to start open fire into crowds of innocent protesters in an unlawful manner, not allowing these peaceful protesters to continue. There are many other ways that the protestors could go about stopping protests. Many people have been reported killed and severely injured due to these unjust attacks. In this article, people tell their stories of people they saw being killed. No one has attempted to stop the brutality of the police men, and so there have been a number of accounts of this unjust method to control protestors in Bangladesh. 


1) In what ways do these brutal killings violate the dignity of these protestors? Who should be held responsible?
