										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="258" data-end="545">The Bangladeshi diaspora in Italy has written to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani. They condemned attacks on democratic culture in Bangladesh under Muhammad Yunus’s interim government, calling it unelected and lacking a legitimate mandate.</p>
<p data-start="547" data-end="880">The letters accused the interim administration of postponing elections and banning the Awami League, denying citizens their voting rights. The community stated that free and fair elections are impossible under such repression. It also claimed that hundreds of Awami League members were detained and more than 200 supporters killed.</p>
<p data-start="882" data-end="1238">The diaspora highlighted widespread violence, including over 600 lynchings and 2,500 torture cases, many targeting minorities. Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians reportedly face religious persecution from extremist groups. The letter also alleged show trials against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and suspension of journalists’ press accreditations<a href="https://www.indiapodcast.com/">.</a></p>
<p data-start="1240" data-end="1564">Expressing concern, the diaspora criticized the European Parliament’s recent praise of the interim regime. They urged the international community to challenge the narrative that shields undemocratic rule. The letters called for global attention to Bangladesh’s human rights violations and suppression of political freedom<a href="https://www.ap7am.com/en/111364/bangladeshi-diaspora-writes-to-italian-pm-meloni-highlights-human-rights-violations-under-yunus-regime">.</a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nepal is witnessing massive public anger as citizens rise against corruption and restrictions on free speech. The government’s decision to impose a ban on social media platforms to silence dissent has backfired, sparking widespread protests across the country. Furious demonstrators chased elected leaders through the streets, forcing <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K._P._Sharma_Oli">Prime Minister K.P. Oli</a> to reportedly flee to Dubai.</p>
<p>Observers note that the situation mirrors last year’s events in Bangladesh, where intense public uprisings led to the downfall of <a href="http://www.indiapodcast.com">Sheikh Hasina’s government</a>. Amid mass anger and accusations of corruption, she fled the country and sought refuge in India.</p>
<p>The developments in Nepal highlight how quickly public frustration can topple governments when people feel suppressed and unheard. Analysts warn that the region is entering a volatile phase, with democracy and governance being tested by waves of public uprisings driven by demands for accountability and freedom.</p>
