yes BA did (procure PLZ-45), many sources told me that, did you check the link ? BA procured both of them, they have different range.

Yes, the following international link says BA procured 40+ PLZ-45 probably in 2012.

The PLA PLZ45 Self Propelled Gun | TankNutDave

Now, wiki says BA has three battalions of tracked PLZ-45 placed in three different cantonments. I assume one battalion consists of 24 to 30 howitzers. Please correct me.

Confirmed Operators:

1) Bangladesh: Three battalions ordered in 2009 for the Bangladesh Army Artillery units based at Chittagong, Ghatail and Savar cantonments & delivered between 2010-2011.

2) China: Used by the People's Liberation Army.

3) Kuwait: 27 PLZ-45's (to form a training platoon and the first battalion) ordered in 1997 and delivered in 2000 - 2001. 24 more howitzers (to form the second battalion) were ordered in 2001 and delivered in 2002 - 2003. 24 more howitzer guns (to form the third battalion) were ordered later and delivered in 2003.

4) Saudi Arabia: (54) In 2007, it was reported that the Saudi Arabian Army had decided to order two battalions (54 units) of the PLZ-45 artillery system. In August 2008, China signed a contract to provide Saudi Arabia with one battalion i.e. 27 PLZ-45 155 mm self-propelled howitzers.

Another contract to supply one more battalion (27 more PLZ-45 self-propelled guns) was signed later in the month. The howitzers were delivered between 2008-2009.

Bangladesh Government killed 2500 thousand protesters in the confrontation Dhaka - CNN iReport
Bangladesh government killed 2500 or more people. (killing news_ Asian Human Rights Commission) - United Nations Videos : Firstpost Topic - Page 1
Cyber propaganda continues to confuse people | The Daily Star
There was also a brave Bangladesh civilians who posted the scene thru twitter and YouTube. Not only those people, even foreigners reported the death toll, the media were unbiased on this. 2500 killed and many were injured in a day mate, stop using excuses. I have seen videos of innocent Muslim Banglas being hit by Bangladesh forces. Not good, government should be scared of the people not the people who should be scared of them.

did you see who posted it ? By Hefazat of course people got killed , but not 2,500, it is around 30
