Odhikar, a rights organisation, expressed concern over human rights situation in the country, as it observes unabated extra-judicial killings and disappearances of people following arrests by law enforcers.
The right organisation prepared a report monitoring issues of twelve national dailies published between November 1 and 30, says an Odhikar press release.
It revealed that 14 people had been killed extra-judicially, 10 of them in ”crossfire” by Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) and four by police during the month.
Odhikar believes that impunity of law enforcers by the state and a weak criminal justice system cause extra-judicial killing to go on.
It also found that four people died in jail due to ”sickness”. Meanwhile, BNP leader Nazrul Islam of Boalkhali in Chittagong remained missing after Rab arrested him, claimed the victim’s family.
Sexual harassment also went unabated during the one-month period, leading three girls to suicide while two men were killed, as they protested stalking, it said. In November 38 women and female children were raped across the country.
The right organisation also revealed that seven women were killed after rape.
