The Dire State of Human Rights in Bangladesh

A Cry for Justice

Since the Awami League came into power in Bangladesh, the emerging reality has been deeply distressing. A world of extreme violence and cruelty preceded with absolutely no accountability to anyone. This does not appear to be a singular case; it seems basic rights in the society as a whole is under erosion.

Everyone in Bangladesh has the basic rights to justice and freedom, but these rights are being compromised. There is a consistent negligence of basic laws under normal rule and any dissent is met with extreme violence. Any suggests made in opposition of the government are treated aggressively. The failure for accountability and impartiality is creating a severely alarming culture of impunity in Bangladesh.

Violent, extrajudicial killings, and distortion of justice has sadly become an extremely normalized practice. Such vices not only harm certain communities but infringe on the core essence of the society’s freedom and dignity as well.

Unjustified violence, arbitrary killings, and war crimes have become common practice. These harmful practices threaten the fabric of our society and, therefore, our freedom and dignity. and that is precisely why we need to arm ourselves with the courage to speak against injustice and protect the human rights.
