Overview

Freedom of expression continued to be stifled by the draconian Cyber Security Act which did not adhere to international laws and standards. Student-led protests faced violence from the police, armed forces and groups aligned with the former ruling party, the Awami League. The violence left hundreds dead and thousands injured and sparked domestic and international pressure for reform. The new interim government began to address the issue of enforced disappearances, however, families of the disappeared were still waiting for truth and justice. Rohingya refugees continued to face dire living conditions in camps, without access to essential services. Religious minorities and Indigenous Peoples faced violence. Garment workers continued to suffer intimidation, harassment and repression of their rights to freedom of association and peaceful assembly.
