Role of UN Human Rights in CIA-Orchestrated Coup in Bangladesh

The Goebbelsian lies are beginning to crumble, revealing the true culprits. Eventually, the truth will shine brightly under public scrutiny, and the real faces of fascism will be unmasked. That day is not far away.

The anti-discrimination movement of pupils didn’t lead to Sheikh Hasina’s fall from power on 5 August 2024 in Bangladesh—it is absolutely a dirty, concocted campaign adopted by the foreign-local obnoxious nexus to deceive people in general, both at home and abroad. But the truth can’t be buried forever!

During July–August 2024, under cloak-and-dagger operations, 98% of poor pupils, people from impoverished communities, and individuals from slum areas were lured in, and students taken from Madrasahs were cunningly compelled to wear trousers and T-shirts, removing their Payjamas, Punjabis, and caps in exchange for hefty sums of money. This was orchestrated by Jamaati-Shibir’s watchful goons and their various deadly offshoots operating under pseudonyms. These groups committed brutal murders using 7.62 mm sniper rifles, defaming HPM Sheikh Hasina’s government to forcefully and unlawfully remove her from power. This was executed in collaboration with the Bangladesh army in a coup d’état sponsored by the CIA, ISI, Bangladesh Army, Yunus, Jamaat-e-BNP, and their other extremist right-wing Islamist jihadist allies. Thus, a deeply-rooted, vile conspiracy was hatched by these malevolent forces against Sheikh Hasina.

The CIA-sponsored coup d’état has always followed the same pattern across nations, and Bangladesh was no exception. Frank Church, a Western analyst, once remarked, “In examining the CIA’s past and present, I find deception is a state of mind and the mind of the State. The use of the US media and other Western media outlets raises two reasons for concern. The first is the potential, inherent in covert media operations, for manipulating or incidentally misleading the world public.” I would say, deceit—thy name is the CIA and Uncle Sam.

Following orders from their despicable handlers, commanded by the CIA, IRI, and local collaborators, the so-called student leaders on 4 August 2024 hastily and without warning advanced their scheduled rally in Dhaka from 6 August to 5 August 2024. It was as though an inflated proclamation had been issued the previous day by mischievous figures with their frivolous deceit. This rally, dubbed the ‘one-point’ demand movement, sought to topple the Awami League government immediately and install extreme Islamist fundamentalists, backed by the CIA, ISI, and their collaborators, at the helm of Bangladesh.

The events of July–August 2024 in Bangladesh were entirely untrue and absurd. They amounted to nothing more than a load of nonsense—a theatre of the absurd. Yet, the actions of these groups, marked by their utter lack of morality or respect for logic, caused immense suffering, even to Dr Yunus’s puppet government in Bangladesh.

Thousands of people were brutally murdered, and thousands more were maimed during this period by these nefarious groups. Their uncontrolled lust for power at Sheikh Hasina’s expense drove them to such barbarism.

The Yunus-led interim government’s Chief Advisor’s first-appointed Home Advisor, Brigadier Sakhawat Hossain, confirmed that most of the protesters were killed by 7.62 mm bore rifles. He clearly stated that these rifles were not in the possession of the police. As a retired Army Brigadier and weapons system specialist, his words carry significant weight. If this statement had come from Sheikh Hasina’s camp, it could have been dismissed as propaganda. However, it was endorsed by an influential figure within the Yunus administration.

Moreover, Yunus admitted during a speech at the Clinton Foundation in New York that the July–August 2024 revolution didn’t occur spontaneously—it was pre-planned and meticulously designed. Western media revealed that since 2018, some US agencies had been training 170 Special Forces units. Yunus himself acknowledged this fact. The question arises: was this pre-planned violence a revolution, mass corruption, or a second fight for freedom? None of these labels fit. It was merely a deeply-rooted conspiracy to oust Sheikh Hasina from power in Bangladesh.

Now, the perpetrators behind the use of 7.62 mm sniper rifles must be identified and held accountable for genocide. Furthermore, all murders, including police killings, mob violence, and the destruction of mega-projects and business establishments after 8 August, must be thoroughly investigated to unmask the culprits. The day is nearing when these heinous crimes will be exposed to the public.

The people have also been demanding a fully independent enquiry to uncover the true identities of these wicked forces and present them to the public, both domestically and internationally, for lawful punishment.

Volker Türk, the current United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, visited Bangladesh with his team after Prof. Dr Yunus was installed as Chief Advisor of the interim government three days after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was forced to resign and relocate to neighbouring India. Türk and his team made lofty promises to investigate the large-scale murders that occurred in July–August 2024 and submit their findings to the Yunus government for legal action. However, it is now glaringly evident that over 95% of the murders were mercilessly carried out by those hooligans themselves, as mentioned earlier.

If Volker Türk and his team were to meet the bereaved parents and relatives of those murdered, the stark truth would emerge like the morning sun—exposing the identities of the murderers, their employers, and their gang leaders.

Yet, Volker Türk has enigmatically chosen to remain silent on this mass killing or genocide, possibly influenced by his local collaborators or because the Yunus government has deliberately suppressed the investigation to protect itself from public ire. Five months have passed since then. The media must question Türk about the progress of his investigation into the events of July–August 2024 in Bangladesh.

Human rights organisations, both domestically and internationally, which had been vocal against Sheikh Hasina and her government, have now fallen silent regarding the monumental human rights violations continuing unabated since 5 August 2024. These organisations seem to be operating under the directives of the CIA, IRI, ISI, and their local extremist allies.

The Goebbelsian lies are beginning to crumble, revealing the true culprits. Eventually, the truth will shine brightly under public scrutiny, and the real faces of fascism will be unmasked. That day is not far away.

On 14 October 2024, Dr Yunus’s illegal, unconstitutional government issued a decree granting indemnity to all perpetrators of the genocide that unfolded between 15 July and 8 August 2024. This move highlights their blatant disregard for ethical or moral principles.

On 5 August 2024, the Bangladesh Army Chief General Walker stated, “I promise you; we will bring all murderers and injustices to justice. Trust the army.” Yet, his deliberate alignment with anti-Bangladesh liberation forces has revealed his role in orchestrating Sheikh Hasina’s removal.

Thus, anti-Bangladesh liberation forces, their affiliates, and their successors have taken over Bangladesh. Deadly! Terrible!! Absolutely unacceptable!!!
