In July-August, the UN High Commissioner to Human Rights Volckar Tork said the army was "warned" not to take part in the unprecedented coup in July-August. He said the government changed in Bangladesh as a result.
Volckar Tork said this at the BBC World Service Hardtok event released on Wednesday. BBC presenter Stephen Sakar spoke to him there.
BBC presenter Stephen Sakar said the UN seems powerless in the wake of the situation in various countries of the world including Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine. In response, Volckar Tork mentioned Bangladesh as an example.
"I am giving examples of last year in Bangladesh," said Volckar Tork. You know that there are widespread protests in July -Agast (Bangladesh). '
During the rule of Sheikh Hasina, there was widespread oppression in suppressing the students' movement at that time.
Tork said, "There was a great hope for them, what we really say, what we can do and we focus on that situation." We really warn the army that if they are involved in it, they will mean that they may not be able to send peacekeepers. As a result, we saw the change.
Volckar Tork added, "When Professor Yunus took over the interim government's chief adviser, he immediately told me that you could send a information -seeking party, emphasize the situation and asked to investigate what was happening there. That's what we did. And it was virtually helped. '
Volckar Tork also mentioned the visit to Bangladesh last year. "Since we take a position, we speak and help them, the students were very grateful to us."
