DHAKA, Feb 12, 2025 (BSS) - Reiterating the interim government's pledge to uphold the rule of law, Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today called upon all stakeholders of Bangladesh's justice system, including police, prosecutors and judges to work in line with that.

"I, along with everyone else working in the interim government and millions of other Bangladeshis, am committed to transforming Bangladesh into a country in which all its people can live in security and dignity," he said in a statement today following the publication a report of the UN's Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

The interim government thanked the UN body for undertaking the most thorough independent investigation to date of the events in Bangladesh in July and August that ended the Hasina regime, according to the statement issued by the Chief Adviser Press Wing.

"As the report notes, the long years of the Hasina regime have left Bangladesh with 'structural deficiencies' in the law enforcement and justice sectors. The reform of these institutions is crucial to Bangladesh's transformation into a society where all its people can live in security and dignity," Prof Yunus said.

He also urged everyone working inside these institutions to side with justice, the law, and the people of Bangladesh in holding to account their own peers and others who have broken the law and violated the human and civil rights of their fellow citizens.
