Banglades needs systemic reform to end the misuse of rights: HRW | Human Rights News

The NGO warns the intermediate government to act to avoid the return of violations of the rights observed with the former prime minister.

Bangladesh risks the return of violations observed with the overthrown Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, unless a stable reform is introduced, warned an international non -governmental organization.

The Bangladesh Provisional Government risks losing “hard -to -win progress” if it does not apply a reform that can withstand repression from future governments, said Human Rights Watch (HRW) in report Posted on Monday.

Continuing arrest arrests and repressive violence emphasize the threat of “the possibility of an once in a generation of termination of legitimate abuses”, which are visible on the clock of Hasina, the report said.

HRW uses the publication to insist DHAKA to establish legal practices for the detention and annulment of laws used to target critics.

“Reforms must be focused on the separation of powers and providing political neutrality into institutions, including civil service, police, military and judicial system,” she said.

Abuse

Hasina escaped to exile in August after Mass protests ended with its power for 15 years.

An Temporary government Guided by the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Mohammed Yunus, has since taken over the country's leadership, promising to introduce distant democratic reforms and organize new elections.

Human Rights Watch noted that the Yunus administration has launched the process of reforming degradation institutions used as tools for pursuing the opponents of the Awami League party of Hasina.

But she also stressed that when the supporters of the former prime minister, the police “returned to the abuses that characterize the previous government.”

The members of the family of the protests killed in the protests were under pressure from signing documents for cases without knowing who was accused of their murders, according to the report.

The rights group also stressed the actions against journalists who are adopted in support of the Hasina government with at least 140 charges of murder.

Responsible

“Nearly 1000 Bangladesh have lost their lives, fighting for democracy, taking advantage of a remarkable opportunity to build a future that respects Bangladesh rights,” says Elaine Pearson, Asia Director at Human Rights Watch.

“This hard -earned progress can be lost if the government temporarily does not create quick and structural reforms that can withstand any repression from future governments.”

HRW recommended that the government seek help from the United Nations Rights Experts in order to provide lasting reforms.

The Yunus government has not yet commented on the report.

The 84-year-old said he inherited a “fully broken” system of public administration and justice, which needs complete repairs to prevent a future return to state abuses.

After swearing in August, he told reporters: “Bangladesh is a family. We have to unite it. There is a huge opportunity. “

However, he also said that those who performed unlawful actions during the Hasina term “will be held responsible”.
