The interim government has pledged to transform the National Human Rights Commission into a truly independent body, enabling it to investigate incidents such as enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings without interference. Advisor Dr. Asif Nazrul said, “During the Awami League government, human rights were not protected—rather, they were violated. The interim government wants to leave behind a milestone in human rights protection. In honor of the sacrifices made in the July uprising, we will do everything possible to establish people’s rights.” He emphasized that legal reforms are underway to grant the commission full independence. At the same meeting, human rights activist and advisor Adilur Rahman Khan noted, “The 2025 National Human Rights Commission Ordinance is crucial for moving beyond 15 years of disappearances, killings, and torture chambers. In the past, even human rights defenders themselves were abducted. The commission survived politically by spending donor funds, often reduced to distributing jobs instead of protecting rights. Its role during the July uprising was utterly disgraceful.”
