DHAKA, 29 June 2022, (TON): US Ambassador to Bangladesh Peter Haas thinks that many people are over-exaggerating the impact of the sanctions imposed on the elite force Rapid Action Battalion and some officials but acknowledges that it did have an impact on the overall relations.
He told Voice of America Bangla Service in an interview “Yes, the sanctions did have an impact. I think many people are over-exaggerating the impact because the relationship we have is so broad and we deal with so many issues.”
He said “the sanctions are one issue but they continue to work very closely on the security front.”
Ambassador Haas said “the US stopped providing training to the RAB in 2018 because of concerns as they want to see accountability for the past human rights violations and to reform the RAB so that it does not repeat the same.”
