UN Demands Investigation into Bangladesh Protest Deaths

The UN calls for justice and minority protection following deadly protests and the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk urges a probe into the killings during Bangladesh protests that led to over 1,000 deaths.
The protests began as a student-led movement against public-sector job quotas, escalating into a national anti-government protest.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled to India on August 5, and Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus now leads an interim government.
The UN is investigating attacks on minorities and calls for accountability for violence against protesters and vulnerable groups.
Türk highlights the need for a national process of truth and healing, emphasizing sustainable reforms to prevent future abuses.
