Professor Asif Nazrul, legal advisor to the interim government, stated that regular changes in power through elections are essential to democracy. “Governments become monstrous when they lose fear of losing power—Sheikh Hasina is a prime example,” he said at the 11th Human Rights Conference organized by the Dhaka University Human Rights Society. Nazrul highlighted the increasing challenges to protecting human rights and urged reforms not just in law, but in mindset and institutional behavior. He stressed the importance of embedding human rights education at every level of society.
