HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT: Human Rights watch
January 2010
Bangladesh
Bangladesh returned to democratic rule in 2009. Constitutionally guaranteed rights,
suspended during most of 2007 and 2008, were in place and the elected government under
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina made strong commitments to address a number of serious
human rights problems. Yet extrajudicial executions, custodial torture, and impunity for
members of the security forces continue. Following a bloody rebellion within the Bangladesh
Rifles (BDR), thousands of guards were arrested, many tortured, and some killed in
detention.

URGENT APPEAL: Take control of the camp Ashraf before the residents are transferred to an EU country
Hon. Ban Ki-moon
Secretary-General
United Nations
Dear Secretary-General,
Camp Ashraf in Iraq is residence to 3,400 members of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) who have built it during the last 23 years. Following occupation of Iraq, in 2004, the residents of Ashraf were recognized as 'protected persons' under the Fourth Geneva Convention. The deadly attacks on defenseless Ashraf residents in July 2009 - carried out by the Iraqi forces - have made the situation in Ashraf into an international humanitarian issue.

To Kevin Rudd, Barack Obama, José Manuel Barroso, Brian Mikkelsen
Subject Take action - or I will
Barack Obama, President of the United States
Kevin Rudd, Prime Minister of Australia
José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission

Faced with the unique opportunity to stop climate change in Copenhagen, world leaders offered instead an historic failure. In sharp contrast, we and the world's environment, hunger, and justice groups are mobilizing the largest movement civil society has ever witnessed, to demand a fair, ambitious, legally binding climate treaty.
