Bangladeshis in Calgary protest for Bangladeshi student rights

In a bid to control the escalating student protests, the Bangladeshi government has resorted to shutting down the internet and jamming phone lines since July 19, effectively silencing digital communication.

This move has hindered protest coordination and limited the flow of information, exacerbating the chaos and fear among Bangladeshis worldwide. The communication blackout has also drawn criticism from human rights organizations and international observers, who argue that such measures are undemocratic. The shutdown underscores the government’s desperation to maintain power and the lengths it will go to suppress opposition.
