Calls Intensify for Bangladesh to Support UN Probe into Human Rights Abuses

Human Rights Watch (HRW) has urged Bangladesh's interim government to back a United Nations Human Rights Council resolution to establish an independent mechanism for investigating recent grave human rights abuses in the country. This call comes amid growing concerns over accountability and justice for victims of these abuses. The proposed mechanism aims to ensure thorough investigation and reporting on the human rights situation in Bangladesh, especially during the transition period leading up to free and fair elections. The international community, including HRW, emphasizes the importance of Bangladesh's cooperation with the UN to address and rectify these serious allegations of human rights violations.
