Israel ceasefire violations
The Israeli military has once again bombed Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, in yet another violation of the ceasefire the regime agreed with Hamas in October. The Israeli attack was the sixth round of bombing of Khan Yunis since late Sunday. The attacks hit the eastern parts of the city. Gaza’s health ministry has confirmed at least three civilian deaths there, due to the bombing. The death toll from the Israeli genocide now exceeds 69,480. That’s in addition to over 170,700 injuries from the bloodshed. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization says over nine hundred patients have died while waiting for medical evacuations from Gaza, amid Israeli restrictions. The world body also says Gaza hospitals are also operating at less than half of their capacity due to shortages of fuel, medicine, and other essential supplies.
Bangladesh court ruling
A special Bangladeshi court has convicted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of crimes against humanity for the violence against mass protests of 20-24. The ruling was handed to Sheikh Hasina and two other Bangladeshi officials, in absentia. They stood trial for what prosecutors described as masterminding and being the principal architects of the suppression of student-led protests. Hasina, who was in power from 2009 to 20-24, has rejected all charges. The 20-24 demonstrations were triggered by controversial job quota systems introduced in the public sector and left around 14-hundred people dead. Sheikh Hasina is now in India. His supporters say they could organize protests against the ruling.
US anti-Trump protests
In the United States, a new protest has been held in North Carolina’s largest city, Charlotte, against the government’s mass deportations of migrants. The demonstration came after the federal immigration agents arrested more than 100 migrants on the first day of their operation in the city. Waving signs and chanting slogans, the protesters said the government’s measures are inflaming fear within immigrant communities. They also denounced the administration's aggressive enforcement strategy, accusing agents of racial profiling and targeting people indiscriminately. Since Trump's return to office in January, he has deployed troops to Washington DC, Los Angeles and Chicago as part of his crackdown on illegal immigrants. The move has sparked many protests in the impacted cities.
