People in Bangladesh detention need appropriate representation: US
The United States has laid emphasis on ensuring appropriate representation for those who are in detention in Bangladesh, treating them in line with basic fundamental freedoms and human rights.
"We continue to stress and emphasise that even those who are in detention need to be afforded appropriate representation and need to be treated with basic fundamental freedoms and human rights," said Principal Deputy Spokesperson at the US Department of State Vedant Patel during a regular briefing in Washington on 3 December.
Patel said they are "consistent" with every government in which they have a relationship with and they are clear that there needs to be the respect of fundamental freedoms; respect of religious freedom and basic human rights.

"Any kind of protests should be and need to be peaceful, and that any kind of crackdown – not even crackdown – that governments need to respect the rule of law, they need to respect basic human rights as part of that. And that's something we'll continue to emphasise," the US Department of Statement quoted Patel as saying.
