Transcript of @NeginNiknaam0 ‘s latest update on #ToomajSalehi , translated in English : “Hello, Given the internet shutdown and the volatile situation we’re currently facing, I’ll try to quickly explain: Earlier today, around 4 in the afternoon, according to his neighbors’ account of the incident, 30 armed plainclothes regime agents entered his home, interrogated Toomaj (Salehi) for 5 hours, and detained him. According to these neighbors, he has since been freed. We haven’t been able to establish contact with Toomaj directly—either because of the internet, or he may have broken his phone again. But according to the neighbors, he is apparently free right now. In these tough times, please stand by one another and show compassion, so we can reach the light at the end of this darkness.” Source @ElhamOmidvari

#WATCH: When I asked about the situation, approximately 50 people have been killed by forces loyal to PM Hasina, including journalists. Her party wing, Chhatra League, has been mostly targeting girls and women. There have been frequent internet shutdowns, and all rights have been looted in Bangladesh. @UN_Spokesperson responded: @antonioguterres is deeply concerned by the reported dozens of deaths in Bangladesh including journalist and calls for restraint.

I will be moderating a discussion on "The Impact of Internet Shutdown on Businesses in Ethiopia" Organized by the Center for the Advancement of Rights and Democracy (CARD). Morning, Oct 04,2022, at Golden Tulip Hotel, AA. Interested welcome. Also, you may have your say!
