Yunus reiterated the interim government's commitment to upholding the rule of law and called on all members of Bangladesh's justice system, including the police, prosecutors, and judges, to do the same.
"As the report notes, the long years of the Hasina regime have left Bangladesh with 'structural deficiencies' in the law enforcement and justice sectors. The reform of these institutions is crucial to Bangladesh's transformation into a society where all its people can live in security and dignity," said the chief adviser.
