Dear fellow Wikimedians,
Following the violent and deadly repression of
student protesters in Bangladesh that has claimed the lives of about 150 people, the Bangladeshi government has shut down the Internet throughout the country.
Several organizations of the #KeepItOn coalition (which includes the Wikimedia Foundation) have signed an appeal to the Bangladeshi authorities to restore the Internet.I wish our Wikimedian colleagues a speedy return to their online activities, and most importantly safety in these troubling times.
Farah
