The NGO has warned that the interim government will have to work to avoid the return of the rights violations under the former Prime Minister.
An international NGO has warned that Bangladesh has taken the risk of the return of rights violations under the deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina unless strong reforms are initiated.
The Human Rights Watch (HRW) said that if it was in danger of implementing reforms, the interim government in Bangladesh threatened to lose “hard victory progress”. Report Published on Monday.
The report states that there is a threat to the country’s one -on -day generation, “to eliminate legal excesses from the ongoing discretionary arrests and retaliation, which was seen on Hussein’s watch.
The HRW used this post to establish Dhaka to establish legal detention methods and to cancel the rules used to target critics.
It announced that “reforms should be focused on separation of powers and ensuring political neutrality in institutions, including civil service, police, army and the judiciary.”
Go back to abusive
Hussein fled to exile in August after 15 years of collective protests came to power.
An interim government, led by Nobel Peace Prize -winning Mohammad Younus, has taken the country in charge, which has promised to start far -reaching democratic reforms and new elections.
Human Rights Watch noted that the Yunus administration has begun the process of reforming the developed institutions used as a tool to oppress opponents of the Awami League party in Hasina.
But he also highlighted that in targeting supporters of the former Premier, the police have “returned to the methods of abuse that are characteristic of the previous government.”
According to the report, the protesters have been pressured to sign the trial documents of those killed by security forces, without finding out who is being accused of their casualties.
The rights group also highlighted action against journalists supporting Hussein’s government, who faced at least 140 murder charges.
Justified
“Human Rights Watch’s Asia Director, Allen Pierreon, said,” Losing his life while fighting for democracy, launching a historic opportunity to build a future for rights in Bangladesh. “
“If the interim government does not create rapid and structural reforms that can cope with any oppression through future governments, it can end the difficult victory.”
The HRW recommended that the government seek help from UN rights experts to ensure lasting reforms.
Younus’ government has not yet commented on the report.
The 84 -year -old has said that he has inherited a “completely broken” system of public administration and justice, which requires a comprehensive review to prevent future return in future abuses.
After taking oath in August, he told reporters: “Bangladesh is a family. We have to unite it. It is very likely.
However, he has also said that those who committed wrongdoing during Hussein era will be “held accountable”.
