Meenakshi Ganguly, the South Africa director of Human Rights Watch said, "These are threats made before the upcoming elections in December 2023."
It should be noted that last December, the United States imposed sanctions on the security forces of Bangladesh for hundreds of enforced disappearances and thousands of extrajudicial killings. However, the government denied this and said that the criminals were killed in the encounter with the police.
