The UN wants answers about the violence in Bangladesh! Volker Türk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, just wrapped up a visit and called for a serious investigation into all the killings and human rights violations during the protests that led to former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fleeing to India.
The Protests started with students who were really upset, it started small, then other concerns grew into something way, way bigger eventually! Tragically though those grew increasingly violent as each sought something forward too during this national struggle!. It didn’t improve even after prior leader went into refuge in India where after another, seemingly distinct protest broke from those upset by what they observed in response. Many ended injured during struggles rather than purely violence focused “UNfortunate events.. Even several student representatives were harmed also.. Lots now requires formal “UN response and official oversight” by those from outside political struggle as many distrust involvement during interim processes even. Thus Volker was involved even prior events occurring.. as now each waits formal investigation outcome by high ranking official too
Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus is leading Bangladesh during all these issues in an interim, intermediate “in-between” time where many other considerations continue alongside purely those UNrest as they attempt towards stabilization into normal government functions which hopefully continues forwards towards eventual electoral and publically recognized forms also
Türk's already sent a fact-finding mission as response but now urges too that special investigations get started into incidents regarding attacks within bangladesh's minority populations between August through present, especially since even previously oppressed people became targeted “unfairly in reprisal” following events as everyone sought those from “opposing political tribes” despite all deserving similar human dignity.. Several also faced similar concerns as UN addressed specifically that these allegations targeting minority receive careful, explicit reviews alongside each incident investigation as many feel also as now distrust “normal local means either.” Its important they not overlook.
Türk met with Yunus, other officials, student leaders and ordinary individuals even despite such high office!, too to ensure understanding each situation as possible in such complex struggle.. He said he totally understands wanting fundamental change even too from observing situations in his UN office reports before these present problems as these present-events aren’t simply something entirely “new from what could ascertained already before Volker was chosen.
He was super clear these investigations MUST lead justice though.. The issues involving Human Rights issues require extra caution and official outside oversights especially now since they may eventually involve local government members if reports regarding unfair jailings across minority occur and require explicit mention during reports now. Turk too gave further reassurance while encouraging Bangladeshi that with “sufficient time.” he fully expected that many ongoing efforts even at various organization, social group, or otherwise could all become formally investigated eventually to determine best forms now, too during official UN supported effort to try helping after such extremely unfortunate Protests rather than giving false assurances that simply with official support that magically any single group in power immediately removes corruption which was always their biggest issue and ultimately contributed directly during this current moment towards how Sheikh fell also as so much resistance was met there, where people refused accepting those conditions forward in their lives as many citizens within that nation ultimately became quite accustomed in seeing those during more recent past decades even while living conditions didn’t appear changing much, instead people faced ever-increasing expenses with little hope or support. These need “UN formal” reports eventually during official investigations but these require “sufficient time also!.” rather than quick response. Thus why he visits, personally, during initial parts as first step too alongside investigation which takes further longer to complete eventually with sufficient truth, ideally to fully explain those prior happenings even too for later formal discussions across each international representative’s respective “government” or “institutional political oversight agency.” across various levels rather than simply involving Turk too solely..
Several Journalists got also caught also during this bangladeshi internal unrest.. Specifically several got harassed/jailed even when affiliated strongly even purely through "professional association rather than explicit endorsement which seems extremely "anti-justice now where some are charged with fictitious claims that they murdered whilst others report simply due previous pro-government association without showing those actual acts for their charges either that all got sent immediately to local jails across regions! They need investigations and released unless those formal charges show those real crimes and aren’t politically based in revenge which Türk made extra clear that all would investigate after further time was found despite official visit ending.. These charges won’t likely fully clarify nor finish with investigations from Volker and teams that are sent.
Türk highlighted all above in latest presser as interim leadership seeks answers! So far it has mostly started focusing toward stabilization amidst such complex changes occurring across country still and since many ongoing investigations will eventually involve similar groups likely even from local and regional agencies working internally rather than purely the international agencies so this all “requires proper time to do fairly!,” which hopefully eventually results some formal, more stable “form of elected leadership also for future Bangladeshi rather than simply relying “interim replacements where no popular elections were ever given in picking them,” too despite Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus who currently holds office despite also facing numerous allegations towards criminal behavior rather than simply “universally popular as each hopes too given how easily this may ultimately appear rather from afar.. It definitely complex political climate presently for Bangladeshi no matter which affiliations hold rather too during 2024 now either and it requires even much more involvement than Volker now to move into fairer elections but at minimum Volker started trying there after these recent protests also in visiting formally now to speak with many across many groups despite lacking immediate or apparent action otherwise, visibly and publicly on news since investigations themselves involve even slower rather “paper” movements also which also cannot accelerate faster nor change even from Volker.
Türk said whilst visiting he recognizes several other key goals that each within government stated too in his official visits but unfortunately time will determine all those which could also potentially even include newer processes like forming “a truth process across all national involvement that is supported also at the UN oversight,” which hopefully gives Bangladeshi enough strength too forward rather than more false hope now.
This entire unfortunate process unfortunately also reveals deeper issues too surrounding Human Rights discussions as one key part even amongst increasingly complicated discussions too regarding digital protections since despite increasing international oversight during local or “developing nations.” Unfortunately its easier to also avoid accountability whenever governments face little oversight too. It needs much discussion before some universal processes regarding each person across entire globe despite location is reached but Turk with the UN did highlight this as something increasingly prominent topic area rather during meeting since these protests initially started primarily by younger populations too unlike some others with perhaps fewer initial direct impacts through “access but in these instances these only further reveal larger discussion of similar concerns for others.
