Public-facing activities should be increased in coordination with domestic and foreign voluntary organizations to protect human rights
University Vice-Chancellor Professor S.M. Nasrul Kadir said – Bangladesh gained independence in 1971 through the great Liberation War. The people of Bangladesh have had their freedom and human rights violated at different times. Even after 54 years of independence, people are still struggling to protect democratic rights, freedom of speech, freedom of the media and human rights. No matter which government comes through the democratic process through the next national elections, they will have to pay more attention to state reforms. And for this, human rights organizations should increase public-facing activities in coordination with domestic and foreign voluntary organizations to protect human rights. He said this while addressing a discussion meeting and certificate distribution ceremony at the Chittagong City Corporation Conference Room on the occasion of the 77th International Human Rights Day at 10 am today, organized by IHRCG Bangladesh. The ceremony was presided over by IHRCG Bangladesh Vice President Md. Amir Hossain Khan. In his inaugural speech, IHRCG Bangladesh General Secretary Syed Mustafa Alam said that people should not be harassed by extortion, encroachment, and filing cases in the name of a human rights organization anywhere in Bangladesh. Those involved in this should be handed over to the law enforcement agencies.
