The United States has called for a lasting and peaceful resolution to the current situation in Bangladesh and further reiterated its unwavering support for the freedom of peaceful assembly.
“…we continue to call for a lasting and peaceful resolution to the current situation, and we reiterate our unwavering support for the freedom of peaceful assembly,” said Vedant Patel, Principal Deputy Spokesperson, while speaking at the daily press briefing in Washington DC on Monday.
He further said: “We’re aware of some restoration of telecommunications across Bangladesh, but we are calling for a full and undisrupted public access to internet and social media services. This will enable people in Bangladesh – including our very own American citizens – to be able to access critical information.”
Responding to a question, Patel said the United States of course support all efforts for those who want to peacefully protest.
