The South Asian nation has seen rising tensions and protests in recent months
WASHINGTON - A top UN official urged a probe into the killings in Bangladesh during protests that led to the downfall of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina , while also calling for minority protection and a national process of truth and healing.
"After any period of repression, upheaval and violence, there needs to be a national process of truth and healing to move forward," UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said on Wednesday as he concluded a visit to Bangladesh. The protests began as a student-led movement against public-sector job quotas in July. Human-rights groups had accused Hasina of using excessive force against protesters, a charge she denied.
The unrest continued after Hasina fled as her party officials and supporters faced the wrath of demonstrators. Attacks were reported against Bangladeshi minorities.
