Mrs Huda is currently on bail, having been charged with corruption. The caretaker Government's decision not to allow her to leave Bangladesh is connected to this case. We believe that the Bangladesh Supreme Court has upheld the decision. We understand that, although there is no connection to Mrs Huda's role as a UN special rapporteur, senior UN officials are discussing the issue with the Bangladesh authorities in the context of the UN Convention on Privileges and Immunities. In these circumstances, we do not think it appropriate to make specific representations to the Bangladesh Government.
Through our missions in Dhaka, we and EU partners have consistently urged the Bangladesh Government, the Armed Forces and the law enforcement agencies to act impartially, with respect for human rights, freedoms and the rule of law.
