Do you remember that viral poster from the protests? A young woman, clad in a burqa with a mask, sat on the street holding a white placard that read: “Fuck me, but we want Sheikh Hasina’s fall.” Back then, it was hailed as a symbol of liberation, a call for democracy. But today, it seems that call has been taken far too literally—except now, it’s the most vulnerable who are paying the price.

The Democracy of Rape: A New Chapter in the Yunus Era
The country is now experiencing the full flavor of democracy! After years of struggle, foreign intervention, and mass protests, Sheikh Hasina’s government has fallen. The dream was that tyranny would end, justice would prevail, and freedom would flourish. But what a cruel twist of fate! Within just six months, the nation has turned into a battleground—where rape, murder, and lawlessness have become the daily headlines.

Press & Public Statement: JMBF Strongly Condemns Recent Islamic Fundamentalist Group Attacks on Women's Football Matches in Joypurhat and Dinajpur
Paris, France; February 3, 2025: The France-based legal and human rights organization, JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF), unequivocally condemns the recent attacks and acts of vandalism perpetrated by Islamic fundamentalist groups under the banner of Touhidi Janata against women's football matches in Joypurhat and Dinajpur on January 28, 2025. These violent actions not only threaten the safety and freedom of female footballers but also undermine the fundamental rights of women to participate in sports and public life in Bangladesh. This is a gross violation of human rights and the fundamental principles of the Constitution of Bangladesh.JMBF urges the interim government of Bangladesh, led by former Nobel laureate Prof. Muhammad Yunus, to investigate the incident through a judicial committee headed by a justice from the High Court Division of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh. We call for the immediate arrest of the alleged perpetrators and demand exemplary punishment through a transparent tribunal. Additionally, we urge the government to provide adequate financial compensation to the organizers without delay.

STATEMENT: JMBF Condemns Hair-Cutting Punishment of Students at School in Munshiganj
Paris, France; February 29, 2024: JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF) condemns in the strongest terms the recent incident of cutting the hair of nine students for not wearing hijab by a teacher at Syedpur Abdur Rahman School and College in Munshiganj, Bangladesh.
The act of cutting the students' hair as a form of punishment for their religious attire is deeply concerning and constitutes a violation of their fundamental rights and dignity. No student should ever be subjected to such humiliation and discrimination based on their personal choices or beliefs.
JMBF urges the authorities to conduct a prompt and impartial investigation into the incident and to take exemplary action against the accused teacher. It is imperative that justice is swiftly served and that measures are taken to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
