"Mr President, Commissioner, the Italian Radical Members fully support the resolution that has been tabled. At a meeting with the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Mrs Sheikh Hasina, attended by myself and a number of my fellow Members a few days ago in Brussels, we were told of the situation of ongoing violations, tyranny and improper use of the
army to repress civil rights, not to mention the political rights, of thousands of this country’s nationals. The Commission should take steps to demand the withdrawal of the army, which is being used without a proper legal basis as a means of policing the public and of political repression.
Last January, when answering a parliamentary question, Commissioner Patten said that the situation in Bangladesh was improving and that the Commission would undertake to monitor it. All the news, both direct and indirect, which comes out of the country shows that, in actual fact, the situation has taken a very dangerous and worrying turn, which is why we are calling on the Commission to take action."@en1
