lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, on 17 October this year 40 000 members of the armed forces launched Operation Clean Heart in Bangladesh. It resulted in house-to-house raids and searches aimed specifically at the Awami League's voters, party workers, the Hindu community and members of opposition political parties. Thousands were arrested and held in incommunicado detention. 25 people are alleged to have died after being tortured while in detention. The claim that these deaths were the results of heart attacks is frankly incredible. We call upon the Government of Bangladesh to hold an independent inquiry into who is responsible for this, to release members of parliament and opposition political leaders and to establish a Bangladesh national human rights committee. We would ask the Commission to liaise with the Government of Bangladesh under the cooperation agreement to ensure that violations stop and that human rights are protected, and request that the European Parliament be kept informed."@en1
