The human rights watchdog chief has called for instant suspension of the accused lawmen as an initial measure to prevent custodial deaths.
Speaking on the unveiling of 'Human Rights Report 2010: Minorities in Bangladesh' at the Dhaka Reporters Unity on Monday, National Human Rights Commission chairman Mizanur Rahman urged the home minister to consider the matter urgently.
He commented that there was no need for a separate law to prevent custodial deaths if law enforcers, accused of torturing or killing criminals, were suspended instantly.
