Accountability for violence should be fixed
“Accountability must be held for the violence and killings that have occurred over the past few weeks,” Miller said. Miller said that America is carefully monitoring the situation in Bangladesh. We urge all parties to refrain from further violence. Too many lives have been lost over the past several weeks and we urge calm and restraint in the coming days. Earlier, the White House National Security Council spokesperson had said that we are closely monitoring the situation in Bangladesh.
