Assuming the description is true, the driver had it coming. The passenger not so much but is guilty by association.

The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) is an elite, paramilitary law enforcement force in Bangladesh tasked with internal security, counter-terrorism, and combating organized crime. Operating under the Ministry of Home Affairs, it is a composite force composed of personnel seconded from the Bangladesh Police, Army, Navy, Air Force, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), and Ansar.

## Overview and Mandate

* Establishment: Formed on March 26, 2004, under the Armed Police Battalion (Amendment) Act.
* Structure: Comprises approximately 12,000 personnel divided across 15 operational battalions.
* Uniform: Distinctively recognized by their black uniforms, headgear, and wrap-around sunglasses.
* Core Duties: Investigating serious crimes, countering Islamist extremism, tracking illegal narcotics, and monitoring internal security threats.

## Human Rights Controversies
Despite its initial popularity for effectively curbing gang violence and domestic terrorism, the RAB has drawn severe international condemnation:

* "Death Squad" Allegations: Human rights organizations, including [Human Rights Watch](https://www.hrw.org/report/2011/05/1...tion-battalion) and Amnesty International, have labeled the unit a "death squad". The force is accused of over 1,000 extrajudicial killings, often staged as shootout encounters or "crossfires".
* Political Weaponization: Whistleblowers and political opposition groups state that the RAB has been frequently used by the state to silence political opponents, journalists, and activists through enforced disappearances and arbitrary detentions.

## International Sanctions
In December 2021, the United States government imposed Global Magnitsky human rights sanctions on the RAB and several of its top current and former commanders. These measures froze any US-based assets and prohibited American citizens or entities from conducting transactions with them.

## Structural Reforms
Following political instability and United Nations recommendations urging structural overhaul, the Bangladesh government announced in February 2026 that the RAB would undergo a foundational rebranding and restructuring. The unit is transitioned to operate under the new name Special Intervention Force (SIF).

Those security were afraid for their lives and trying to escape. I didn't see them hit anybody and I guess they were dazed already from attacks.
If the country rulers are communist/islamic assholes and the security is executing people, fuck yes kill them. But I guess those students are leftist assholes and need one of the new B-52 Arclight JDAM strikes..
