Odhikar, a duly established human rights organisation in Bangladesh, and FIDH submit this information on Bangladesh under the General Guidelines for submission of information for Universal Periodic Review.
Odhikar had long been concerned about precarious human rights conditions in Bangladesh, but this report covers situations documented by the organisation for the last three years i.e.01 July 2005 to 30 June 2008. Over this period, Odhikar recorded and noticed several serious violations of human rights, violations which are widespread and systematic with little or no effective remedial measures.
