“Beaten, extorted, jailed — and unable to attend his own mother’s funeral.” Awami League leader Yasin Bhuiya alleges he was repeatedly attacked by Chhatra Dal activists, tortured inside and outside police custody, forced into false cases, and extorted for hundreds of thousands of taka after his business was looted. After 40 days in jail and months in hiding, he says he could not even stand beside his mother during her final moments or attend her janaza. His testimony raises disturbing allegations of political violence, extortion, intimidation, and denial of medical treatment against perceived Awami League supporters in post-August Bangladesh. #Bangladesh #HumanRights #PoliticalViolence #Chattogram #Justice #YasinBhuiya
