(View all written questions)The UK noted the results of the 12th Parliamentary Elections in Bangladesh, which took place on 7 January 2024. Democratic elections depend on credible, open, and fair competition. Respect for human rights, rule of law and due process are essential elements of the democratic process. These standards were not consistently met during the election period. The UK will continue to work with likeminded partners to encourage all political parties to address their differences and find a common way forward in the interests of the people of Bangladesh.
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
The Foreign Secretary and Minister West have publicly raised concerns about the violence following protests in Bangladesh. The UK is clear that peaceful protestors must not be subject to violence. We are concerned by the high number of arrests and reports of mistreatment in detention. The British High Commissioner to Bangladesh has engaged with Bangladesh government ministers to reinforce messages of peaceful resolution. The UK and international partners will continue to push for progress towards accountability and justice through an independent, impartial and transparent investigation into alleged human rights violations.
