On the occasion of the 20th World Abolition of Death Penalty Day
2022, Bangladeshi human rights organizations Bangladesh Institute of Human
Rights (BIHR) and JusticeMakers Bangladesh have called for the abolition of all
clauses containing the provision of death penalty in the existing laws in
Bangladesh. Today, on October 10, 2022, BIHR and JusticeMakers Bangladesh urged
to the government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh to abolish death
penalty.
Advocate Shahanur Islam, Secretary General of JusticeMakers
Bangladesh and BIHR, has demanded for life imposing life imprisonment in
serious crimes instead of death penalty to avoid cruel, inhuman and humiliating
punishments like death penalty.
