'The Fear Never Leaves Me' – Torture, Custodial Deaths, and Unfair Trials after the 2009 Mutiny of the Bangladesh Rifles (July 2012)

The Human Rights Watch report provides a detailed account of the mutiny and documents serious abuses in the aftermath, including torture by security forces of people in custody on suspicion of planning the mutiny, and of ongoing concerns about fair trial violations in mass trials of hundreds of suspects at a time. The notorious Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has allegedly been involved in many of the abuses.
