Bangladesh: 'No prison in Bangladesh where people are tortured like in USA's Guantanamo'

DHAKA, 15 April 2022, (TON): Information and Broadcasting Minister Hasan Mahmud said “the human rights situation in Bangladesh is better than the United States in many instances.”

The minister told the reporters after attending a discussion titled "we do not agree with the US human rights report, Mahe Ramadan and Mass Media and an Iftar Mahfil organised by Bangladesh Sampadak Forum in the city.”

He added “data in this report might have been collected from certain sources. And the sources are one-sided and provide a lot of misinformation.”

"In fact, in many cases, the human rights situation in Bangladesh is better than in the United States, though not in all cases."

The minister said "there are no prisons in our country like the way people are tortured at Guantanamo Bay of the US.”
