New rights laws: Those who control evidence eventually control accountability (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A state can criminalise enforced disappearance while preserving arrangements that make it difficult to prove the crime. Bangladesh’s new National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Act and Enforced Disappearance Prevention and Remedy Act, gazetted on September 8, must be judged not only by the offences they define or the penalties they prescribe, but also by whether they provide credible mechanisms for establishing responsibility. The decisive questions are about who controls investigations, how vic
Sifat’s arrest under anti-terror law: Vulgarity is not terrorism (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nothing in a principled defence of Sifat Abdullah requires sanitising his words. His Facebook video clip contains crude and degrading verbal abuse directed at Prime Minister Tarique Rahman and his deceased parents, former President Ziaur Rahman and former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia.

Gazi Nazrul’s case raises bigger questions for parliament (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The controversy surrounding Satkhira-4 MP Gazi Nazrul Islam poses two questions that must not be confused. Can Jamaat-e-Islami, by expelling him, make his parliamentary seat vacant? And can parliament ignore any serious misconduct merely because no express ground for disqualification has yet arisen? Under the law, the first answer is no. In a credible democracy, the second must also be no. Jamaat expelled Nazrul on July 22 after an internal inquiry found what it called “moral misconduct.” Nazrul
