Protest Against The Establishment Of The UN Human Rights Office - Bangladesh

Various Islamic organizations organized a protest rally and mass gathering at the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque in protest against the establishment of the United Nations Human Rights Council office, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, 25 July 2025. They said that although a foreign affairs advisor of the government explained this decision as being in the 'interest of Bangladesh', this interest is not clear to the nation. Bangladesh is an independent and sovereign state. The country has its own constitution, judicial system and human rights commission. The permanent presence of international observer organizations is not acceptable. This will create opportunities for interference in the country's internal affairs, which will affect our culture, religious values and social unity. Photo by Suvra Anti Das/ABACAPRESS.COM
