A
Special Appeal to International Volunteer and Human Rights Organizations
The military and administrative
units in Bangladesh are continuously supporting a particular political party
while oppressing other political parties and the general public. They are
engaging in indiscriminate shootings, killings, and brutal torture. Even
volunteers are not spared from their repression.
The current abuse of power and
misuse of the legal system poses an extreme threat to the people of the
country. To put an end to this unlawful practice and ensure the safety of
volunteer organizations, I urgently appeal to all international volunteer
organizations for their special assistance.
Dear
International Volunteer and Humanitarian Organizations,
My name is Suman, and I am a permanent
resident of Barishal, Bangladesh. I am a volunteer, but the current situation
in Bangladesh is so dire that there is no guarantee of legal protection.
Despite being a volunteer, I have been subjected to persecution by the
administration. Many of my fellow volunteers have been arrested, imprisoned,
and subjected to inhumane torture, which is a blatant misuse of the legal
system.
Volunteers do not belong to any
political party; they work for the welfare of humanity. However, in Bangladesh,
volunteer organizations have now become targets of the military and
administrative forces. Our activities are being disrupted, various excuses are
being used to suppress us, and attempts are being made to silence our voices.
The
Alarming Situation in Bangladesh
Political violence, human rights
violations, and misuse of the law in Bangladesh have reached an unprecedented
level.
- Political Repression:
Leaders, activists, and supporters of opposition political parties are
being arbitrarily arrested, forcibly disappeared, and subjected to
extrajudicial killings. Anyone expressing political dissent is being
labeled as an "enemy of the state" and imprisoned.
- Crisis of Democracy:
The lack of a fair electoral system, suppression of dissent, and severe
restrictions on freedom of expression have effectively led to the
establishment of authoritarian rule in the country. The judiciary has also
become a tool in the hands of the ruling authorities.
- Misuse of Law:
Existing laws are being manipulated to serve the political interests of the
government. Law enforcement agencies, instead of remaining neutral, are
working in favor of a specific political party, raising serious concerns
about their impartiality.
- Persecution of Volunteers and Human Rights Activists: Those who speak against human rights violations and
stand by the oppressed are being targeted through various repressive
tactics. State security agencies are using false cases, arrests, and
torture to silence them.
An
Urgent Appeal to the International Community
We, the persecuted volunteers of
Bangladesh, appeal to the international community, human rights organizations,
and volunteer groups for assistance.
- Ensure Our Safety:
Immediate international intervention is needed to stop the unjust
persecution against us.
- Expose the Reality of Bangladesh to the World: International media, human rights organizations, and
global institutions must raise awareness about the human rights crisis in
Bangladesh and take appropriate action.
- Stand with Us:
International organizations must support volunteers dedicated to
humanitarian service and provide necessary assistance to ensure their
survival.
We want to live. We want to serve
humanity.
Therefore, I urge international
human rights organizations, volunteer groups, and world leaders—please help us.
Stand with the persecuted and oppressed people of Bangladesh.
We demand justice. We demand
protection. We want to serve humanity freely.
