Bangladesh Political Stories
Explore pivotal moments in Bangladesh's political history â stories of resistance, sacrifice, and truth.
You Fail to Kill Abrar Fahad
Abrar Fahad, a BUET student murdered in 2019 by perpetrators linked to the Chhatra League, became a symbol of resistance to political violence in Bangladesh. Many view him as an icon of anti-fascism, representing the demand for freedom of expression, accountability, and safety for students across the country.
Aynaghars Files
Aynaghar, or the 'House of Mirrors,' was a network of clandestine detention centres in Bangladesh under Sheikh Hasina. Detainees were held in isolation, brutally tortured, and many disappeared or died.
The Plunderer of National Wealth
The government led by Sheikh Hasina looted millions of dollars and siphoned them out of the country. Billions were taken under the guise of so-called development. Corruption was normalised during Sheikh Hasina's rule.
The July Epic
The July Uprising is a significant moment in Bangladesh's history. Millions of people rose up against a government that was widely seen as brutal, corrupt, and illegitimate. The youth of Bangladesh made great sacrifices to overthrow the fascist regime, never backing down from their demands.
