The surprise is not that Bangladesh’s heavily politicized one party state and its military apparatus are so shockingly full of brutality and corruption as shown by the shocking expose of Al-Jazeera’s investigative journalism team. The bigger surprise, perhaps, is the subservient, cowardly, and craven attitude of Bangladesh’s ‘free’ press and ‘intelligentsia’ which is shooting the messenger instead of acknowledging the barbaric message. True Stalinism as envisaged by the dictator father of the current dictator.
Dedicated to the restoration of pluralist, representative, democracy in Bangladesh. I write because they can't speak anymore.
