Whereas, Muhammad Yunus, the current leader of Bangladesh, has attempted to erase the history of Bangabandhu by canceling national holidays such as the father of the nation Bangabandhu's birthday and removing plaques and renaming institutions that were placed or named in his honor; and
Whereas, there have been extradjudicial killings of citizens who either have spoken out against the Yunus government or who were members of the previous government, including members Bangladesh Awami League, and including the killing of police officers; and; now, therefore, be it
