The 5th May Massacre was something that occurred this year. A Islamic group called the Shibir, they are a student wing of a political party called Jamaat e Islam. The shibir had demonstrated peacefully in a place called Shapla Square. While the Shibir were sleeping as this was a overnight demonstration the Awami League, a party known to lick Indian *** had made orders to deploy government agents, police authority which had open fired and bombed the Shibir while they were asleep. I know this from this from 1st hand as I know people down there on the day it happened. The brothers I know reported that around 1000-2000 were killed and put in wagons and dumped in the river. The police and what was reported Indian agents had come in and started firing live ammunition as well rubber bullets, gas, etc. How cowardly is it to open fire on unarmed peaceful protestors?
Welcome to Bangladesh, the land of dirty politricks and hartal.
About 200 Jamat Islami and Shibir workers died during demonstrations against the court verdicts before May. Many thousands were imprisoned, tortured and killed by security forces. The May 5 incident is related to Hefazat e Islam not Shibir:

Officially 50 died, but unofficially no one knows how many were killed.
