UN Report: Former Bangladesh Government Accused of Crimes Against Humanity
A United Nations report has accused Bangladesh’s former government of orchestrating extrajudicial killings, mass arrests, and torture to suppress protests in 2024. The report estimates up to 1,400 deaths, with security forces allegedly responsible for most of the killings.
🔹 Key Findings:
✔️ Hundreds of extrajudicial killings reported.
✔️ Mass arbitrary arrests and use of torture documented.
✔️ Children and women targeted in violent crackdowns.
Former PM Sheikh Hasina, now in India, faces an arrest warrant but has refused to return to Bangladesh. The UN has called for justice and accountability for human rights violations.
The Bangladesh government vows to investigate, while global human rights groups demand legal action against those involved.
