US wants human rights upheld in Bangladesh: Matthew Miller

The United States wants to see the human rights of the Bangladeshi people are upheld. “Our position with respect to human rights in Bangladesh is the same under this government as it was under the previous government,” said Spokesperson at the US Department of State Matthew Miller in a regular briefing in Washington on Wednesday.

‘We want to see the human rights of the Bangladeshi people upheld,’ he added.

However, he refused to comment on “the Interim Government in Bangladesh is considering removal of secularism from their constitution which would significantly impact the country’s democratic framework and minorities rights”.
