National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Chairman Prof Dr Mizanur Rahman Khan on Monday said human rights violation is prevalent in the country despite its rate decreasing.
Prof Khan said torture in custody will reduce considerably if the home ministry issues a notice announcing special punishment for it.
He was addressing a press conference to launch a report on Human Rights of Minorities in Bangladesh in 2010.
Global Human Rights Defence (GHRD) and Bangladesh Institute of Human Rights (BIHR) jointly organised the press conference at Dhaka Reporters’ Unity in the city.
