Blanket shutdowns in #Bangladesh are impacting peoples' safety, security, and livelihoods. Access to information is critical and must immediately be restored.

Bangladesh's Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting @MAarafat71, stated, "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐫𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬." Does he even understand what he is saying? How disrespectful it is to speak so callously about the innocent young men, who lost their lives due to police brutality. It is fortunate that the government itself provided subtitles for his statement. I kindly request members of the international press to take note of this obnoxious and unacceptable comment by Arafat, as well as his attempt to malign opposition political parties. It is unbelievable that someone can stoop so low.

The actual climate change vulnerability of South Asia has resulted not as much from biophysical vulnerability as from the socio-economic vulnerability of its societies, writes @rezsid in his article on #climatemigration in #SouthAsia buff.ly/3p6OWlA

Bangladesh, once far behind, just surpassed India in GDP per capita. All the more reason for Modi to focus on the right reforms. foreignpolicy.com/2020/10/20…

The capacity of societies (especially cities) in accommodating #climatemigration has not increased much so far. Environmental and climate migrants are still forced to live and survive at the edge of society | @rezsid on #climatevulnerability in #SouthAsia buff.ly/3p6OWlA

The use of the word "we" is deceptive here. The rich are the ones who have 'sown' while the poor are ones 'reaping' the negative Climate Change impacts around the world! @MichaelEMann – at Dhaka, Bangladesh
