Leaked Audio Suggests Former Bangladesh PM Ordered Deadly Crackdown
A disturbing audio recording has surfaced, allegedly capturing former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina directing security forces to use lethal weapons against protesters in 2024. The recording has sent shockwaves through the nation and reignited debate over the tragic events that unfolded.
Allegations of “Shoot to Kill” Orders Spark Outrage
The leaked audio purportedly reveals Hasina giving explicit instructions to quell the protests using deadly force. This revelation has fueled public outrage and intensified calls for accountability. The protests, which erupted in 2024, tragically resulted in an estimated 1,400 deaths.
Awami League Denies Accusations, Blames Undisciplined Forces
The Awami League vehemently denies the allegations against Hasina, attributing the violence to undisciplined actions by security personnel. Hasina, currently facing trial in absentia for crimes against humanity, left Bangladesh as the protests escalated.
The authenticity of the leaked audio is yet to be independently verified, but its emergence has undoubtedly deepened the political crisis in Bangladesh and raised serious questions about the use of force against civilians.
