Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Barry Gardiner (Labour), on Wednesday, 3 December 2025, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 13 members in total.
Political prisoners in Bangladesh
That this House notes with concern that many former MPs, journalists and judges have been imprisoned without charge for over a year in Bangladesh; recalls that justice delayed is justice denied; expresses its concern that there has been a resurgence of human rights abuses by state institutions, including over 40 extrajudicial killings in the 15 months since the resignation of the previous government, as documented by the human rights organisation Odhikar; and urges the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus to ensure that the rights of minorities are respected and that proper judicial process is followed.
