Rights group reports dozen deaths in Bangladesh detention since revolution

A rights group in Bangladesh, Odhikar, reported that at least a dozen people died in detention since last year's revolution. The group claims these deaths resulted from torture and gunshot wounds, demanding justice from the interim government. The report details 12 deaths between August 9 and December 31, 2024, with victims under police and military custody. Odhikar states that seven died from torture, while four had gunshot wounds. Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled to India after the revolution, which reportedly killed over 1,400 people. Security forces have since conducted mass arrests of her supporters, while the armed forces have been given police-like powers.
