Sheikh Hasina, the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, secretly ordered police to use lethal weapons against protesting students. Audio recordings reveal that Hasina authorized her security forces to shoot at protesters, stating she had issued an open order. The order followed weeks of protests that escalated to violence, resulting in nearly 1,400 deaths and more than 20,000 injuries. Furthermore, Hasina discussed employing helicopters to monitor and control demonstrations. Despite denial from security forces regarding aerial attacks, eyewitnesses reported gunfire directed at hospitals from helicopters.
My instructions have already been given. I've issued an open order completely. Now they will use lethal weapons, shoot wherever they find them, she said.
Wherever they notice any gathering, it's from above—now it's being done from above, it has already started in several places.
