HRW asks Bangladesh to seriously address rights abuses
New York (PTI): Expressing concern over the reports of extra-judicial killings by security forces in emergency- ruled Bangladesh, a leading human rights group has asked the interim government in Dhaka to use its last months in office to seriously address persistent rights abuses in the country.
"The Bangladesh government is well aware that the security forces have killed and tortured people in custody... Bangladesh needs a government that acknowledges that serious human rights problems exist, and is ready to act to address them," said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch.
