Leaked Audio Raises Concerns Over Hasina’s Role in 2024 Bangladesh Crackdown

Disturbing new evidence has emerged in the form of a leaked audio recording, allegedly capturing former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina directing security forces to use lethal weapons against protesters in 2024.

“Shoot” Order Allegedly Heard in Leaked Recording

The audio, whose authenticity is yet to be definitively confirmed, purportedly features Hasina giving explicit instructions to quell the protests with deadly force. This revelation adds another layer of complexity to the already controversial events surrounding the 2024 unrest, which resulted in an estimated 1,400 deaths.

Awami League Denies Allegations, Blames Undisciplined Forces

The Awami League, Hasina’s political party, has vehemently denied the accusations, attributing the violence to undisciplined actions by security personnel. They maintain that Hasina did not order the use of lethal force and that the audio recording is either fabricated or misinterpreted.

Hasina, currently facing trial in absentia for crimes against humanity, fled Bangladesh as the protests intensified. Her departure further fueled the political turmoil and has left many unanswered questions about the extent of her involvement in the crackdown.
