A report by the Human Rights Support Society (HRSS) released on June 5, 2026, stated that six Bangladeshis were killed and 20 injured in attacks by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) along the India-Bangladesh border during May. The BSF also detained 14 Bangladeshis. The report expressed concern over the repeated border incidents and highlighted six separate attacks that led to the casualties.

The HRSS report also documented three deaths and one injury from landmine explosions along the Bangladesh-Myanmar border, allegedly caused by mines planted in the area. Additionally, the Arakan Army detained 18 people in four incidents. Within Bangladesh, the report recorded 64 cases of political violence in May, resulting in five deaths and more than 289 injuries, as well as 66 mob-beating incidents that killed 31 people and injured 68 others.

HRSS Executive Director Ijazul Islam urged the government to act more responsibly and ensure accountability in protecting human rights, warning that continued restrictions on freedom of expression and arrests over social media criticism could worsen the situation.
