One of the greater ironies of the Bangladeshi junta is that the ‘crown prince’ Sajib Wazed ‘Joy’ who is the son of the Bangladeshi dictator Sheikh Hasina and a cabinet level adviser on information technology to his mommy, lives in Virginia under the freedoms afforded by America’s Constitution while directing the surveillance, capture, and torture of dissenters in his his mommy’s “people’s republic”. One of his other pastimes is regularly bashing the ‘West’ and ‘America’ for not falling in line with his regime’s dictatorial efforts to crush any dissent. Wasn’t it for such situations that from the times of the Framers to today, there exists the Alien Torts Statutes?
Dedicated to the restoration of pluralist, representative, democracy in Bangladesh. I write because they can't speak anymore.
