Concern over crossfire under CG


Bangladesh Institute of Human Rights (BIHR) yesterday expressed concern over continuation of crossfire incidents under the caretaker government (CG) as such incidents of extra-judicial killing are violations of human rights and against the spirit of democracy.

In a statement, BIHR General Secretary Akram Hossain Chowdhury urged the authorities concerned to take effective measures to stop extra-judicial killings and be watchful so that nobody dies in army custody.

He however hailed the chief adviser's vows to uphold human rights in his recent address to the nation.
