Bangladesh: US imposed sanctions on RAB without getting specific info, Minister

DHAKA, 28 August 2022, (TON): Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan has said “the United States imposed sanctions against the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) and some of its current and former officials without receiving any specific information.”

The minister was speaking to reporters after an event at a hotel in Dhaka.

Mentioning United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet’s recent visit, Asaduzzaman Khan told the media that she had repeatedly said Bangladesh was not violating any human rights, and that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was running the country with utmost care.

He mentioned "I only followed the statement of the UN high commissioner for human rights. People talk, but I have always said that no one believes anything unless it is based on fact and evidence.”
