The Spin

The leaked audio provides clear evidence that Hasina directly ordered lethal force against peaceful student protesters. The systematic violence was a calculated strategy to maintain power against legitimate democratic opposition. Justice demands accountability for these crimes against humanity.

The authenticity of the audio remains disputed, and the decisions were made in good faith to minimize casualties during violent unrest. The current proceedings represent politically motivated persecution designed to eliminate democratic opposition and silence dissent.
