Former Bangladesh gov’t behind possible ‘crimes against humanity’, says UN

Al Jazeera  

UN inquiry finds ex-PM Sheikh Hasina oversaw systematic crackdown on protesters, killing up to 1,400 people in bid to hold on to power. Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government was behind possible “crimes against humanity” as it strived to hold on to power last year, says the United Nations. Before Hasina was toppled in a mainly student-led revolution last August, her government oversaw a systematic crackdown on protesters, involving “hundreds of extrajudicial killings”, the UN human rights office said in a fact-finding report on Wednesday. The vast majority of those killed “were shot by Bangladesh’s security forces”, the rights office said, adding 12 to 13 percent of those killed were minors. “There are reasonable grounds to believe hundreds of extrajudicial killings, extensive arbitrary arrests and detentions, and torture, were carried out with the knowledge, coordination and direction of the political leadership and senior security officials as part of a strategy to suppress the protests.” The UN office launched its fact-finding mission at the request of Bangladesh’s interim leader Mohammed Yunus, sending a team including human rights investigators, a forensic physician and a weapons expert to the country.
