Dhaka, July 25 - Canada has called for internet services to be "fully restored without delay" to allow people to access critical information and connect with their loved ones in Canada and worldwide.

"Upholding the freedoms of speech and assembly is crucial," said the Canadian High Commission in Dhaka in a statement on Thursday night.

The justice system must ensure due process for all those arrested and hold accountable those responsible for these tragic events, said the Canadian statement shared by the High Commission.

"We will continue monitoring the situation in Bangladesh," said the High Commission, adding that they are shocked by the violence suffered by the people of Bangladesh this past week during the students' protests.

"Our thoughts are with the victims and their family and all those impacted as we advocate for a peaceful resolution and respect for human rights," the statement reads. - UNB
