DHAKA was fortunate to have been the site once again for the screening of the International Film Festival, screened at the premises of the National Museum. A total of two hundred and fifty-two films were scheduled for screening from 14–22 January 2023 from seventy-one countries from all over the world

…‘Continuous Coverage,’ a 90 minute documentary by Palestinian director Emtyaz Al-Maghrabi, depicts the human rights situation in Palestine. The film reconstructs the deliberate shooting in cold blood of Shireen-al-Akleh, a Palestinian-American journalist on May 11, 2022 by members of the Israeli Defences Forces while providing news coverage…‘Continuous Coverage’ is not only a film on genocide and shameless acceptance of it by the world powers; it is a part and continuation of the valiant resistance of the Palestinian people.

Please TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW and send your letter to the UN Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and the International Criminal Court Prosecutor.

There is a worldwide health crisis for indigenous peoples and refugees. Indigenous people in various parts of the globe have been hit hard by colonization of their lands, by their languages taken from them, by genocide and by their culture not being valued.

…Issues such as these were major topics of discussion at the fourth People’s Health Assembly in Savar, Bangladesh. The plenary session on “social and physical environments that destroy or promote health” saw presentations that called attention to the major factors that shape the health conditions of the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, the people of Palestine, and people affected by ecological degradation and genocides.

‘The world is creating another Palestine’ on Middle East Monitor

Please TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW and send your letter to the UN Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and the International Criminal Court Prosecutor.
