Human Rights Support Society (HRSS) has reported a surge in border violence and human rights violations across Bangladesh during June 2026. According to its monthly observation report released on Thursday, five people were killed in separate incidents along the India and Myanmar borders, including two from Indian Border Security Force (BSF) shootings and three from landmine explosions near Myanmar. The report also noted attempts to push in over 400 people, along with multiple detentions and attacks, raising concerns about the overall human rights situation.

The HRSS report detailed that 352 women and girls were victims of abuse, while 58 political violence incidents left nine dead and 346 injured. It recorded 63 cases of killings linked to robbery, disputes, and dominance conflicts. Freedom of expression faced growing restrictions, with 47 journalists reportedly harassed or assaulted in 39 incidents. Minority communities suffered 12 attacks, injuring seven people and damaging temples, idols, and homes.

HRSS Executive Director Ijazul Islam described the situation as sensitive and worsening amid political tensions and security concerns, urging the government and civil society to take more accountable and active measures to protect human rights.
