Imamul Hossain Monitoring & Documentation Investigation & Fact findings Aziz Aktar Md. Saiful Islam Ast. IT Officer Rizwanul Haq Acknowledgments e are glad to announce that HRSS is going to publish “Annual Human Rights Bulletin 2018”, focusing on Wsignificant human rights violations of Bangladesh. We hope that the contents of this report will help the people understand the overall human rights situation in the country. We further expect that both government and non-government stakeholders working for human rights would be acquainted with the updated human rights conditions and take necessary steps to stop repeated offences. On the other hand, in 2018, the constitutionally guaranteed rights of freedom of assembly and association witnessed a sharp decline by making digital security act-2018. Further, the overall human rights situation significantly deteriorated. Restrictions on the activities of political parties and civil societies, impunity to the excesses of the security forces, extrajudicial killing in the name of anti-drug campaign, enforced disappearance, violence against women, arbitrary arrests and assault on opposition political leaders and activists, intimidation and extortion are considered to be the main reasons for such a catastrophic state of affairs.

  • Sensitive Space Along the India-Bangladesh Border
    THE FRAGMENTS AND THEIR NATION(S): SENSITIVE SPACE ALONG THE INDIA-BANGLADESH BORDER A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Jason Cons January 2011 © 2011 Jason Cons THE FRAGMENTS AND THEIR NATION(S): SENSITIVE SPACE ALONG THE INDIA-BANGLADESH BORDER Jason Cons, Ph.D. Cornell University 2011 Borders are often described as “sensitive” areas—exceptional and dangerous spaces at once central to national imaginaries and at the limits of state control. Yet what does sensitivity mean for those who live in, and those who are in charge of regulating, such spaces? Why do these areas persist as spaces of conflict and confusion? This dissertation explores these questions in relation to a series of enclaves—sovereign pieces of India inside of Bangladesh and vice versa—clustered along the Northern India–Bangladesh border. In it, I develop the notion of “sensitivity” as an analytic for understanding spaces like the enclaves, showing how they are zones within which postcolonial fears about sovereignty, security, identity, and national survival become mapped onto territory. I outline the politics of sensitivity and the production of sensitive space through both historical and ethnographic research. First, I explore the ways that ambiguity and vague fears about security and citizenship emerge as forms of moral regulation within and in relation to the enclaves. Specifically, I interrogate the processes through which information about the enclaves is regulated and policed and the ambiguity, suspicion, and insecurity that emerge out of such practices.

    June 29, SITUATION REPORT 2010 Name of Disaster: Flood and River Erosion Locations: Lalmonirhat, Rangpur and Kurigram District of Bangladesh Date of Disaster: June 28, 2010 Situation Report No.184 Lalmonirhat District The flood situation in the Lalmonirhat district worsened yesterday, June 28, 2010 with the inundation of fresh low-lying areas in 37 villages of 10 unions of five upazilas. Heavy downpour and onrush of water from the upstream have added to the miseries of the flood-affected people. The Teesta swelled so fast on Sunday, June 27, 2010 that villagers did not get enough time to remove their belongings. Finding no alternative, they took shelter on the embankment of the Teesta. The affected unions are Dahagram of Patgram upazila, Goddimari, Sindurna, Paruliya of Hatibandha upazila, Votmari of Kaliganj upazila, Mohishkhocha of Aditmari upazila and Khuniya Gachh, Rajpur, Kulaghat and Mogholhat of Sadar upazila. Meanwhile, erosion by the Dharla river in Mogholhat area of Sadar upazila took a serious turn due to continuous downpour for the last three days. The BDR camp at Mogholhat in Sadar upazila might be eroded away at any time as the camp is only 200 meters away from the erosion-hit point. The officials at the camp sent a letter yesterday to the higher authorities concerned for urgent steps to save the outpost. Rangpur District Continuous erosion by Teesta river at Dhushmara char of Kaunia upazila in Rangpur district. Number of Crop land and dwelling houses already has been gone under water during last month. Kurigram District Heavy rain coupled with onrush of hill water triggered flash flood in the vast areas rendering thousands of families marooned in Kurigram district.

  • SAGA of UNHEEDED ISLAND WITHIN LAND SHIB SHANKAR CHATTERJEE Case Study Number – a : “…
    Government Of India’s Indifferent Attitude Led Some Lands Landlocked In Bangladesh SAGA OF UNHEEDED ISLAND WITHIN LAND SHIB SHANKAR CHATTERJEE Case Study Number – A : “….. Look, in the enclaves, forcible occupation is a common incident and it occurs off and on. So, it is difficult to keep either any landed property or the crops of the field under control. Especially in my case, I can say, I was a permanent inhabitant of the chhitmahal, Kote-Bhajni. I had inherited 128 Bighas of land from my father. But, I could not enjoy those landed property due to forceful occupation, robbery and plundering. Once in a winter morning of 1979, one Mr. Ataur Hussain, a well to do landlord of nearby Bangladeshi village appeared before our door along with 14 to 15 Gunda (that is, ruffian or hooligan)s with traditional sharpen weapons and asked me to vacate the land immediately. Seeing this, some village people also came there to enjoy the ‘game’. Upon enquiry, he told me that I had sold the land and property to him in 4/5 installments. To prove in fact, he showed a registered notebook or document, which was registered in the Haldibari Sub-Register Office under Jalpaigguri district in North-Bengal areas of the Indian State, West Bengal. The incident unnerved me and I totally forgot to utter a word. The inhabitants in and around our house also got terrified with the incident and they too dared not to tell anything. I did never go to Haldibari except once in my childhood and that too to pay a visit to the local ethnic fair of Hajur.

  • Annual Human Rights Report 2020 Bangladesh
    ANNUAL HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT 2020 BANGLADESH Prepared by Odhikar Date of Release: 25 January 2021 Foreword Since its inception in 1994, Odhikar has been relentlessly struggling to protect the civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights of the people. Odhikar, as an organisation of human rights defenders, has always sought to raise awareness of all human rights violations committed by the state and campaign for internationally recognized civil and political rights, to protest and prevent the state from violating human rights. Odhikar unconditionally stands by the victims of oppression and maintains no prejudice with regard to their political leanings or ideological orientation and it advocates for establishing protection and justice for victims of human rights abuses. Currently, an authoritarian government system is in place in the country and as a result human rights violations are common place. The biggest strength of Odhikar is the human rights activists and organisations in different countries of the world and the human rights defenders associated with it all over the country. Odhikar also publishes reports every quarter, based on fact-finding, research, and reports sent by human rights defenders from different districts of the country and data published in various media. A summary of Odhikar’s quarterly reports for 2020 is included in this annual human rights report. Odhikar has been facing extreme state repression and harassment since 2013 due to its human rights activities. Despite the state’s constant harassment and obstruction, the report highlights human rights violations in accordance with international human rights standards. It is to be noted that due to the violation of freedom of expression and the practice of self-censorship by the media, various human rights violations have not been reported at a normal pace.

  • Case Study from Northern West Bengal, India
    Indigenous People and notion of Nation State: Case Study from northern West Bengal, India Ashok Das Gupta Research Scholar, Department of Anthropology, University of North Bengal, West Bengal ABSTRACT: This paper is going to focus on Indigenous People and notion of Nation State in respect to northern West Bengal, India. Unity in diversity is key theme of India and Nation States still exist in form of State within State but in cognition and pro-Indian forms. Traditionally, globe is divided into Magical, Buddhist and post-Buddhist world. Innovations occurred during pre-Aryan, Aryan and post-Aryan realms. Agrarian India is more prone to caste, caste-like institutions, agriculture oriented religions, trade-based religions, syncretism and self-sufficient villages. Little republics, Urban Centers and Indigenous Statehoods are not unlikely in South Asia. On the basis of transnational trade routes, indigenous Statehoods took their shapes. India, however, has mostly accepted the cognate of Shahi and its close ties with Iran and Eurasia. Shahi believes in unification of South Asia in various ways. Commonwealth incorporates India as an important member. Transnational trade route from Sino-Tibet, Sikkim-Bhutan Himalayas, North Bengal and North East India and Bangladesh to Bay of Bengal as well as river ways there core of emergence of so many indigenous statehoods locally. They, earlier or later, accepted unification with India. Kamtapur and Koch Bihar in the vicinity of Torsha or Amu Chu tributary of Brahmaputra- Jamuna River mouth in Indo-Bangladesh were gradually included during the Turk- Afghan, Mughal-Rajput and British India. In this high time of globalization, notions towards these indigenous statehoods formulated by Rajbanshi social fold incorporating so many castes and tribes have revived.
