Human Rights Monitoring Report on Bangladesh

Reporting Period: 1 – 30 September 2018 

The overall human rights situation in September 2018 has been reviewed in this report where violations of civil and political rights, including hindrance to freedom of expression, state repression, and deprivation from right to life of the citizens were exclusively highlighted. The absence of democracy and an accountable government in the country have been widely observed after the present government re-assumed power for a second term, through a controversial 2014 Parliamentary election.1 The 11th Parliamentary Elections is expected to be held in December 2018, but a level-playing field for all political parties has not been created.
