EU wants full probe into deaths in Bangladesh's anti-drug crackdown

The European Union (EU) has asked for an investigation into all the victims of the ongoing anti-narcotics campaign in Bangladesh.

The investigation was sought in a statement sent from the EU mission in Dhaka on Monday.

In a joint statement sent by the permanent representatives of the EU, drug and drug smuggling is a big problem all over the world. There are allegations of excessive use of anti-drug operations in Bangladesh.

 We hope that the government of Bangladesh will investigate every incident of the death of suspected criminals by following the appropriate legal process and we hope it will be fully investigated.

The statement said more than 120 people were killed in drug-related incidents since May 4.

 In the statement, the law enforcing force was called on to maintain the international standards.

Earlier, the United Nations Department of Drug and Offensive (UNODC) said that the United Nations is closely monitoring the current anti-drug campaign in Bangladesh.

Various human rights organizations have already raised questions about the anti-narcotics campaign of law enforcers. In this context, the EU gave the statement.
