Amnesty International has observed that human rights situation continues to deteriorate as government and BNP-led 20-party alliance supporters are battling each other for the past few weeks.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the London-based organisation urged the government to carry out thorough and impartial probe into all arson attacks and killings and bring those responsible to justice in fair trials.
It suggests that the government release anyone detained solely for exercising their rights to freedom of expression or peaceful assembly and ensure that the law enforcement officials do not use excessive or unnecessary force.
It asks the government to ensure that all state bodies abide by the human rights obligations to which Bangladesh has committed.
