Over the increasing number of violent killings in Bangladesh, the United Nations (UN) has expressed its deep concern.
While addressing on global Human Rights update at the Human Right Council in Geneva, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad al Hussein made the concern and called for quick investigation and prosecution of the culprits.
Meanwhile Bangladesh government launched a 7-day militant crack-down on Friday in the wake of a string of targetted killings of minority community members, secular writers, bloggers, publishers, rights activists and international aid workers.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has vowed to to stop the killings whilst linking the opposition to the violence spree.
