We at No Passport Voice express our profound grief and condemnation in response to the tragic and deeply troubling events unfolding across Bangladesh.
We pay our solemn homage to Shaheed Osman Hadi, whose untimely death following a targeted shooting has shaken the conscience of the nation.
At the same time, we unequivocally condemn the cycle of violence in Dhaka and other parts of the country. The attacks on media institutions, including Prothom Alo and The Daily Star, are attacks on press freedom itself.
We also strongly condemn the vandalism of cultural institutions such as Chhayanaut, spaces that represent creativity, pluralism, and collective memory. Equally alarming and utterly unacceptable is the lynching of a member of the Hindu community, Dipu C. Das in Mymensingh. Mob violence and communal targeting violate the most basic principles of humanity, equality, and the rule of law.
We stand for justice without vengeance, accountability without chaos, and peace without silence.
