The OHCHR Fact-Finding Report: Human Rights Violations and Abuses related to the Protests of July and August 2024 in Bangladesh was prepared by the UN fact-finding team on Bangladesh. It is the result of an independent investigation by Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) into human rights violations that occurred in the country between 1 July and 15 August 2024. The investigation focused on the government's handling of the July Revolution during this period, including allegations of extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests, detention and torture and the suppression of free speech. The mission sought to gather facts, identify responsible parties and propose recommendations to prevent future violations.
