Bangladesh secret prisons – level 1
22-04-2025 15:00
Many people in Bangladesh feel scared. Soldiers hurt them. They keep them in small, dark rooms.
They cannot move. They have no light and no help. One man says it is like death. This happens when Sheikh Hasina is the leader. Some people say that soldiers do this alone. Others say that the leader tells them to do it.
Now people can see these rooms and hear the stories. Hasina is not the leader anymore. But some of the bad people still work in the army. This makes people very afraid. One man says he is scared every day. He thinks they can take him again. People want help now. They want to feel safe again.
Difficult words: scared (afraid or worried), soldier (a person in the army), death (the end of life).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
What tactics did soldiers use to detain and intimidate individuals during Sheikh Hasina’s leadership?
