Free speech and expression are still suppressed by the Yunus-led interim government.

An alleged graft case filed by Bangladesh’s Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) against a former vice-chancellor of Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur (BRUR) and several others has reignited concerns over the Yunus-led interim regime’s ongoing efforts to stifle free speech and independent journalism. The accused, including prominent educationist Nazmul Ahsan Kalimullah, are charged with embezzlement and financial irregularities, charges they contest as politically motivated. Since taking power in August 2024, the interim government has been accused of widespread media repression—dismissing over a thousand journalists, forcibly taking over private TV channels, and canceling press accreditations. The International Federation of Journalists’ latest report highlights the mounting challenges faced by Bangladesh’s media, as the regime continues to project a reformist image while deepening its control over the press. The current political climate underscores the fragile state of press freedom and democratic institutions in Bangladesh.

A Tripura rights tribunal criticises NHIDCL for delaying land compensation for seven years.

The Tripura Human Rights Commission (THRC) has directed the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) to submit a report by July 11, following complaints that around 20 families in Jampui Hills, North Tripura, have yet to receive compensation for land acquired for a national highway project over seven years ago. Despite the absence of any legal disputes or ownership issues, and the completion of all administrative procedures, NHIDCL has withheld payment, citing project alignment changes and the need for a new Detailed Project Report. The THRC, taking suo motu cognizance of the matter, noted that this ongoing delay constitutes a violation of the affected families’ human rights and has also sought a report from the Land Acquisition Collector, North Tripura, to address the grievances highlighted in recent media reports.
