Fundamental rights of the people of Bangladesh

(Redirected from Fundamental rights in Bangladesh)

The fundamental rights of the people of Bangladesh have been namely guaranteed in Part III (Article 26-47) of the constitution of Bangladesh.[1][2][3] But the protection of fundamental rights under the Constitution has been inconsistent and that is why, during the period from 2009 to 2023 under the rule of the Awami League-led government, 2,699 people were victims of extrajudicial killings in Bangladesh. During the same time frame, 677 people were forcibly disappeared, and 1,048 people died in custody, according to the Odhikar.[4] Odhikar also said that if the deaths from the anti-discrimination student protests and incidents from 2024 are included, the total death toll would exceed 3,000.[4]

Article 44 of the constitution guarantees the right of every citizen to move the High Court Division in accordance with clause (1) of Article 102 for the enforcement of any of the fundamental rights conferred by Part III of the Constitution.[1] The jurisdiction of the High Court Division of the Supreme Court to enforce the fundamental rights is defined in Article 102 of Part Vl of the Constitution of 1972.[1]
