BANGLADESH DISAPPROVES OF OHCHR STATEMENT

DAILY SUN REPORT, DHAKA

Bangladesh has denounced the press statement of the Office of United Nations
High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) saying that the organization has
unfortunately overstepped its mandate. 

In response to the recent press statement issued by OHCHR on Bangladesh, the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs  in a press release said that the statement of OHCHR
misrepresents the ground reality and a repetition of subjective and biased
assessments to politicize human rights.

In this context, the Government of Bangladesh wishes to offer the correct
perspective. The Government’s firm commitment to uphold the democratic
principles was evident in the conduct of free, fair and peaceful elections with
people’s participation on 07 January 2024. 

Election Day was unprecedentedly peaceful except for some isolated incidents in
a few polling stations. This was echoed by many international election observers
and journalists who covered the election on the ground. The claim that the ‘poll
was marred by violence and repression of opposition candidates’, therefore,
appears to be extremely prejudiced and premeditated.

While the Government believes in an inclusive democracy, regrettably, the
Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) decided to stay out of the electoral process
on the pretext of their unconstitutional demand of the provision of a caretaker
government. It is unfortunate that the BNP resorted to violence and killing of
innocent people to thwart the democratic process as the party did during earlier
occasions of national elections. Only since 28 October 2023, BNP activists
killed 24 individuals including innocent civilians and on-duty law enforcement
personnel. They set fire to nearly a thousand vehicles, public and private,
derailed and attacked trains with arson burning passengers alive including a
mother and her three years old child. 

The details of BNP’s destruction are horrific and the OHCHR was time and again
supplied with evidence of BNP’s nationwide mayhem. In this context, it was,
indeed, a challenge to ensure peaceful elections amidst threats, disruptions and
violence aiming to destabilize the country and disrupt its democratic journey. 

Despite such widespread violence, the response from the law enforcing agency
members was restrained, rational and within the legal parameters. OHCHR’s
allegations of reprisals such as arbitrary and mass arrests, threats, enforced
disappearance; blackmailing and surveillance by law enforcement officials are
baseless and unsubstantiated. The number of arrests is a sheer exaggeration.
Arrests were made and legal actions were taken only against those who were
involved in or inciting violence and unlawful activities. These measures were
necessary to maintain rule of law and to safeguard the rights of all citizens. 

The Government rejects the claim that ‘many human rights defenders have been
forced to go into hiding, and some have fled the country, while dozens of
suspected enforced disappearance cases have been reported, mostly in November’.
This is far from reality and rather a plain example of irresponsibility on the
part of OHCHR. It is important that the Office checks the veracity of the
information before it uses the same in public statements.  

Bangladesh will be guided by the spirit and letters of the Constitution and its
international human rights commitments and by people’s mandate in its pursuit to
uphold human rights and to realize people’s aspiration for a progressive
society. It welcomes constructive criticisms and is always ready to address any
legitimate concern. Bangladesh looks forward to continuing to collaborate with
the United Nations and its human rights mechanisms.

Ten students, along with two teachers from Playpen School, who participated in

Kiminori, according to a press release.

During the reporting session, the delegation members shared their experiences

other Japan visit programmes also shared their views on the people-to-people
exchange initiatives by Japan.

The Playpen School team stayed with host families during their visit and paid
courtesy calls on Hideaki Omura, Governor of Aichi Prefecture, and the Mayor of
Tokoname City, Tatsuya Ito, while also attending various academic and cultural
exchange events.

countries, the exchange programme was organised by the Tokoname City Students'
International Exchange Conference Association (TSIE) and the Tokoname City
Council, with the support of the Embassy of Japan in Bangladesh.

India has called upon Bangladesh government to ensure the safety and security of
Hindus, other minorities and their places of worship.

In a reply to a question in parliament on the attack on minorities in
Bangladesh, Indian Minister of State on External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh on
Thursday said several incidents of desecration and damages to Hindu temples and
deities in Bangladesh have been reported in the past few months.

The government of India has expressed its concerns about such incidents,
including the attack on a Puja mandap in Tantibazar, Dhaka and the theft at the
Jeshoreshwari Kali temple at Satkhira during Durga Puja 2024, he said.

The primary responsibility for the protection of life and liberty of all
citizens of Bangladesh, including minorities, rests with the Government of
Bangladesh, said Kirti Vardhan.

JAISHANKAR TO BRIEF PARLIAMENT ON BANGLADESH CRISIS FRIDAY

Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Foreign Minister S Jaishankar Thursday to
discuss attacks on religious minorities, including Hindus, in neighbouring
Bangladesh. This includes the arrest this week of Chinmoy Krishna Das
Brahmachari and the vandalism of a temple in Chattogram district.

Following his meeting with the PM, Mr Jaishankar is expected to address both
Houses Parliament on Friday, assuming proceedings are not disrupted by the
opposition.

His remarks will come as unrest continues in Bangladesh following the
student-led rebellion in August of this year, which forced then Prime Minister
Sheikh Hasina to quit and flee to India.

The Bangladeshi Army took control, briefly, of the country's government before
an interim administration, headed by Nobel laureate Dr Yunus, took charge in
August.

The Yunus government has reaffirmed "in the strongest terms" that every
Bangladeshi, regardless of their religious identity, has the "right to
establish, maintain or perform respective religious rituals and practices or
express views without hindrance."

Chinmoy Brahmachari was arrested after protests by the Hindu community in
Rangpur, about 300km north of national capital Dhaka. The arrest follows a
sedition case filed against him this month.
