The European Union (EU) has voiced concern over the arrest of more than 8,000 opposition activists in Bangladesh and called for ensuring justice in all cases.
In a message on X (former Twitter), Josep Borrell Fontelles, high representative of the EU for foreign affairs and security policy, also stressed finding a peaceful way for participatory elections.
Encouraging all political parties to refrain from violence, he writes, “(It is) vital to find a peaceful way to participatory elections, conducive to democracy, human rights, and fundamental freedoms.”
