Alex Counts' Fundraiser for Bangladeshi Martyrs

In July/August 2024, brave students and others in Bangladesh protested for human rights and freedom from autocracy and won a great victory for their country and for the world. But around 1,500 were killed by the police and armed sympathsizers of the now ousted regime, and more than 20,000 were injured. Now a private foundation established by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus is seeking to compensate the families of those killed and those who were injured, many of whom are facing significant medical bills. I met some of these victims in Bangladesh recently. Their stories are heart-breaking. I have donated $1,000 and I hope my friends will donate at least $10,000. Donations are tax deductible in the U.S. and will soon be in many other countries as well. The total need is $42 million, and $8.3 million has already been raised.
