We mourn those who lost their lives. A government that has periodically strangled the opposition for at least a decade, manipulated the courts, and tooled the security services against its own citizens. We celebrate the new opportunity that has been created in Bangladesh to establish democracy based on constitutional principles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He further said, I strongly urge the Bangladesh authorities to form a responsible caretaker government, which will hold early participatory democratic elections.
