That’s a very very tough question Jahan! Social media is on fire at the moment but if history tells us anything then any fight or struggle against autocratic and illegitimate power, there would always be bloodshed….people would be murdered, abducted, tortured and raped! And this time around, the struggle is even harder …. the enemy is not only within, enemy is also from outside!
One thing for sure and people of Bangladesh must have to realize – if they start something, they have to finish it no matter how much sacrifice they have to make! The root causes of evil need to be attacked before anything – democracy, democratic institutions, independent judiciary have been destroyed systematically to stay in power forever… it may be bit late to get things back on track but better late than never!!

I was feeling nervous for the last several days imagining of the sheer cruelty that was waiting for these innocent school going kids fate who demanded road safety only.
Can anyone tell me who can help? Or,
Where shall we ask for help to rescue these children?
I have received this below email today from a 16/17 years old girl. I met this girl and her parents during transit to a holiday destination.
NOTE: Please stay away from foul comments if you do not have the love for your fellow country people, especially when they are just kids.

Assalamualaikum aunty,
I’m ……. We met at ….iiiiiiiii. I need some serious help from you. We, the school students and college students are protesting for safe roads as two of our students were killed in a road accident. But today Bangladesh Chatro League attacked us with guns and other sharp items like knifes. Many of us were killed today. They abducted some of our girls and raping them continuously. We’re helpless here. Neither our government nor the media is helping us. We badly need help to save our lives. I told what happened there today in short. There’s more that you can’t even imagine aunty. If you get this mail, please reply me soon. We need your help.
.
Sincerely yours
