- #May5Massacre TWITTER PACKAGE V1.0
- ::::::OBJECTIVE:::::::
- Its May 5, 2014. A year has passed since the horrible massacre committed by government forces in Bangladesh at Motijheel Shapla Chattar back in 2013. Despite overwhelming evidence of a massacre, the government has denied its role and used media to hide the truth. Media that spoke out during the events were either silenced or have been party to heavy handed censorship. One year on, the steam roller of injustice continues, and the victims and their families still cry out for injustice. We ask you to participate with us in asking for justice.
