US attack on Iran: Violation of international law is unacceptable

The Iran-Israel conflict has clearly turned into war with the involvement of the United States. Since the Israeli attack on Iran, US President Donald Trump had been threatening Iran, giving it a two-week ultimatum. However, even before the two weeks were over, US B-2 warplanes launched a devastating attack on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities. Not only Iran, but also Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, Chile, Lebanon, Cuba, and Oman have strongly condemned and protested the US attacks. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has also expressed concern over the incident. Tehran has stated that this is clearly a violation of international law, which is in no way acceptable.

The battle of Plassey: A history of betrayal

Today, June 23, marks Historic Plassey Day — a day often described as one of the darkest chapters in the history of Bengal. On this day in 1757, through a conspiracy involving local merchants, traitors, and British profiteers, the sun of Bengal’s independence set for the next 200 years on the fields of Plassey. In a farcical battle that lasted barely an hour, Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah, the ruler of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa, was defeated.

Prohibit marriage to rapists legally

The practice of marrying rape victims to their rapists has become a tragic cultural distortion in Bangladesh. In many cases, to avoid legal consequences, the rapist and his family propose marriage as a settlement. The victim’s family also agrees, in an attempt to protect the woman’s honour. But far from being a happy union, such marriages often lead to continued abuse, separation, and even murder. Numerous accounts and evidence show that in most cases, after marriage, the husband neither maintains contact with the woman nor accepts their child, and whenever the chance arises, his first move is to drive the woman out of the house. At that point, the woman is left with no way out.

Stop sale of antibiotics without prescription

Antibiotics are a type of life-saving medicine. However, if used incorrectly or indiscriminately, antibiotics can also cause severe harm to the body. The misuse of antibiotics is most prevalent in the underdeveloped countries of the world. And Bangladesh ranks at the top of this list. This is because many people in Bangladesh, especially those with low income, often purchase and consume antibiotics from pharmacies or local markets without consulting a doctor. They have no idea that this leads to their bodies becoming resistant to antibiotics.

Ensure safe migration for female workers

Due to poverty and lack of earning opportunities in the country, countless Bangladeshis migrate abroad every year in search of earnings. In recent years, the number of female workers going abroad has also been rapidly increasing alongside male migrant workers. These female workers mainly travel to the Middle East to work as domestic helpers. However, these migrant women workers are subjected to various forms of physical, mental, and sexual abuse on a regular basis.

Let doves of peace fly in the sky, not missiles

The current crisis between Iran and Israel is largely rooted in history. Renowned psychologist Sigmund Freud once said that wars of this nature continue until one side completely annihilates the other. So, will they not stop until one side is utterly destroyed?
