A recent report by the Human Rights Commission of UN about Bangladesh reveals a disturbing surge in violence, with at least 650 people killed in the country from July 16 to Aug 11. The report highlights a significant escalation in human rights violations, including extrajudicial killings and arbitrary detentions. The Human Rights Commission's chair, Volker Turk, expressed concern over the power shift in leadership, emphasizing the urgent need for an independent, impartial, and thorough investigation into these human rights abuses. The commission's report also touches upon the student protests that shook the nation in mid-June, resulting in numerous injuries and fatalities. Furthermore, the commission has issued several recommendations to the Bangladeshi government, the opposition parties, and international communities in light of the worsening human rights situation.
