It is as if the land has become a wounded, blood-soaked battlefield.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The statement said the whole country has been turned into a prison, an execution ground, and a valley of death.

People\u2019s lives and property are unsafe; religious minorities continue to face persecution; and law and order have collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom the centre to the remotest corners\u2014unbridled mob terror, looting, robbery, and extortion. Educational institutions are in chaos; justice and the rule of law have become a nightmare. The frenzy of extremist terrorists and communal groups has terrified the entire nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cConspiracies are underway to hand over Bangladesh\u2019s land and resources to foreigners.
