The Asia Young Indigenous Peoples Network (AYIPN) warmly extends its greetings and solidarity to the Chittagong Hill Tracts Hill Students Council on the occasion of its 37th Founding Anniversary.
The militancy, courage, and commitment shown by the indigenous youth of Bangladesh serve as an inspiring example for indigenous youth across Asia and the world to unite in the defense of ancestral lands and collective rights. Despite intense militarization and state repression, you continue to stand firm as the voice of indigenous peoples in your communities, bringing to the centers of power the violence, injustices, and human rights violations faced by indigenous peoples in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
As you celebrate this important anniversary, please know that AYIPN and indigenous youth across our region stand with you in solidarity as we continue to strengthen our unity and collective struggle for self-determination, justice-based peace, and the defense of our rights and ancestral lands.
Happy 37th Founding Anniversary to the Chittagong Hill Tracts Hill Students Council! Long live indigenous youth solidarity!
