The United Nations is sending a UN fact finding team next week to probe atrocities committed during the Student Revolution in July and early this week.
Chief Advisor's Press Wing revealed this information on Thursday (August 15).
UN human rights chief Volker Turk announced the move when he called Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus late Wednesday.
According to a UN official, 'This will be the first time the UN is sending a fact finding mission in Bangladesh since its independence in 1971 to investigate widespread human rights abuses in the country.'
