Global Experts Warn of Rising Human Rights Violations in Bangladesh at UNHRC Side Event

A side event titled “Human Rights Violations and the Rise of Islamic Terrorism in Bangladesh” was hosted by the Tumuku Development and Cultural Union (TACUDU) on March 26, 2025, during the 58th Session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland.

The event was led by Fazal-ur Rehman Afridi, a human rights activist and Principal Representative at TACUDU. The panel featured notable speakers, including Paul Bristow (Former UK Conservative MP), Sahar Zand (British-Iranian journalist and broadcaster), Dr. Rayhan Rashid (Legal Consultant at Oxford Matrix), and Priyajit Debsarkar (Geopolitical Analyst).

Concerns Over Human Rights and Extremism

The primary objective of the discussion was to highlight the deteriorating law and order situation in Bangladesh, increasing human rights violations, persecution of minorities, and the rise of Islamic extremism under the interim leadership of Nobel laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus.

Speaking at the event, Sahar Zand expressed deep concern over the lack of international media coverage. “The situation in Bangladesh is extremely alarming. My visit made me even more fearful because the world seems to be turning a blind eye to what is happening. If this continues, Bangladesh risks following the path of Afghanistan, Iraq, or Iran, where upheavals have reshaped societies,” she warned.

She further emphasized the escalating attacks on minorities, calling for global attention. “This is a crucial moment. Unfortunately, both the international community and local journalists appear to be ignoring these developments,” she added.

Calls for Independent Investigation

Dr. Rayhan Rashid demanded a transparent and impartial investigation into past and present events in Bangladesh. “I urge a thorough internal review of the OHCHR report to understand its methodology, conclusions, and the networks that influenced it,” he stated.

Fears of a Potential Genocide

Priyajit Debsarkar raised concerns about the possibility of large-scale violence in Bangladesh. “We cannot afford to witness another genocide. Since August 5, tensions have escalated, putting pro-liberation voices and communities at greater risk,” he noted.

He warned that the crisis in Bangladesh is not only a domestic issue but a potential regional threat. “It is crucial that we unite against these fascist elements before the situation spirals further,” he urged.

The event concluded with a call for the global community to take urgent action to address the growing crisis in Bangladesh.
