This is what Sheikh Hasina's Awami League did in July: "police and pro-government vigilantes not only used force but fired at the heads and faces of protesters, causing lethal and serious injuries from otherwise non-lethal weapons." DELIBERATELY shot people in the face.
Bangaldesh 🇧🇩:
@FortifyRights investigation documents killings and violence by police, BGB, as well as by the Awami League in Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, and Dhaka.
Our team spoke with 40 + people about the violence, including survivors & eyewitnesses.

Still deluged with kittens & mums, inc 4-week-old kittens about to be put to sleep. I'm going to need lots of help to get them well.
They don't have a mum so I'm hand-rearing, which means I won't be able to do much writing to pay bills this month
