<p>We monitor the ongoing tensions in the Chittagong Hill Tracts region closely and
are aware of the incident reported in Rangamati. We condemn all acts of violence and
call on the Bangladeshi authorities to investigate all such incidents promptly, transparently
and impartially. At Bangladesh's second Universal Periodic Review at the Human Rights
Council on 29 April 2013 the British Government urged the Government of Bangladesh
to fulfil its commitment to fully implement the 1997 Chittagong Hill Tracts Peace
Accord which will provide greater security to indigenous populations by establishing
political and social rights and providing a mechanism for resolving land disputes.</p><p>
