Wednesday, 25 February 2015
The European Parliament (EP) will discuss Bangladesh issues in Brussels tomorrow (Thursday) and submit a report on the outcome of the recent visit of an EP delegation, reports UNB.
Of the draft agenda of the day, an agenda on Bangladesh titled 'Feedback from DROI mission to Bangladesh' is also included as numberfour agenda, according to the EP.
A three-member delegation of the Sub-committee on Human Rights of the European Parliament, led by Cristian Dan Preda, visited Bangladesh from February 16-20.
Wrapping up the visit, they sought an immediate end to the growing violence in Bangladesh and echoed the international community and Bangladesh civil society's call for solving the political crisis.
In follow-up to the European Parliament resolution of September 2014, the delegation raised Parliament's continued concerns regarding enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings.
