answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2017 answer text <p>We continue to stress the importance of respect for human rights and the rule of law to the Government of Bangladesh, both in public and in private. I urged the Bangladeshi High Commissioner to ensure that his government adhered to its human rights obligations when we met on 29 November 2016. As I said in my closing speech to the House of Commons adjournment debate on 8 September 2016, mass arrests, suspicious 'crossfire' deaths, and enforced disappearances at the hands of the police undermine confidence in the judicial system. Investigations must be conducted transparently and impartially, irrespective of either victim of alleged perpetrator.</p><p>Mr Ahmad Bin Quasem is not a British citizen; we are therefore unable to request consular access.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 30/01/2017 15:33:07 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
