The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) of the United Nations has urged Bangladesh authorities to uphold the rights of individuals to free speech and peaceful assembly.
Police are urged to use force only when required, with moderation, and in a proportionate manner.
For the next general election, the UN calls for a calm, welcoming, and secure environment.
Police have frequently used water cannons, tear gas, and rubber bullets during opposition protests.
In addition, the OHCHR advocates for a secure and tranquil setting that respects fundamental freedoms and rights while fostering political pluralism and a range of viewpoints.
