&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Human Rights Watch (HRW), an international human rights body, has urged the government of India to probe the fresh allegations of human rights violations by the personnel of the Border Security Force (BSF) along the Bangladesh border and prosecute those responsible.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to HRW&#039;s latest report, despite assurances to Bangladesh and public orders to end unlawful killings and attacks on suspected smugglers, evidence documented and published by Indian and Bangladeshi NGOs suggests that the BSF continues extrajudicial killings, torture, and ill-treatment of both Indian and Bangladeshi border residents. &amp;ldquo;The BSF has reverted to its previous tactics of unilaterally punishing suspects, defying orders from Delhi issued last year to exercise restraint and protect the right to life,&amp;rdquo; said HRW South-Asia Director Meenakshi Ganguly.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;But the central government is also responsible, since it has failed to hold perpetrators accountable. Justice is the best deterrent against further violations,&amp;rdquo; she added. HRW recalled that in December 2010 it released the report &amp;ldquo;Trigger Happy&amp;rdquo;, which documented the excessive use of force by the Indian Troops at the Bangladesh border as well as nearly 1,000 killings by the BSF over the last decade. In January 2011, Delhi assured Bangladeshi officials that it would order the BSF to exercise restraint and encourage the use of rubber bullets instead of more lethal ammunition.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Though the BSF&#039;s attacks decreased significantly over the next year, new evidence suggests that they continue to frequently abuse both the Bangladeshis and the Indians residing at the border, HRW said, adding that according to recent allegations, in order to get around the restrictions on shooting at sight, BSF jawans had been subjecting suspects to severe beatings and torture, resulting in deaths in custody.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A few months ago, the National Human Rights Commission had issued notices to the Union Home ministry and the BSF on the videos telecast by some TV channels about the alleged torture of cattle lifters by the BSF personnel near the Indo-Bangladesh border in West Bengal.

Human Rights Watch (HRW), an international human rights body, has urged the government of India to probe the fresh allegations of human rights violations by the personnel of the Border Security Force (BSF) along the Bangladesh border and prosecute those responsible.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to HRW&#039;s latest report, despite assurances to Bangladesh and public orders to end unlawful killings and attacks on suspected smugglers, evidence documented and published by Indian and Bangladeshi NGOs suggests that the BSF continues extrajudicial killings, torture, and ill-treatment of both Indian and Bangladeshi border residents. &amp;ldquo;The BSF has reverted to its previous tactics of unilaterally punishing suspects, defying orders from Delhi issued last year to exercise restraint and protect the right to life,&amp;rdquo; said HRW South-Asia Director Meenakshi Ganguly.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;But the central government is also responsible, since it has failed to hold perpetrators accountable. Justice is the best deterrent against further violations,&amp;rdquo; she added. HRW recalled that in December 2010 it released the report &amp;ldquo;Trigger Happy&amp;rdquo;, which documented the excessive use of force by the Indian Troops at the Bangladesh border as well as nearly 1,000 killings by the BSF over the last decade.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Though the BSF&#039;s attacks decreased significantly over the next year, new evidence suggests that they continue to frequently abuse both the Bangladeshis and the Indians residing at the border, HRW said, adding that according to recent allegations, in order to get around the restrictions on shooting at sight, BSF jawans had been subjecting suspects to severe beatings and torture, resulting in deaths in custody.
&lt;/div&gt;

A few months ago, the National Human Rights Commission had issued notices to the Union Home ministry and the BSF on the videos telecast by some TV channels about the alleged torture of cattle lifters by the BSF personnel near the Indo-Bangladesh border in West Bengal.

Human Rights Watch (HRW), an international human rights body, has urged the government of India to probe the fresh allegations of human rights violations by the personnel of the Border Security Force (BSF) along the Bangladesh border and prosecute those responsible.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to HRW&#039;s latest report, despite assurances to Bangladesh and public orders to end unlawful killings and attacks on suspected smugglers, evidence documented and published by Indian and Bangladeshi NGOs suggests that the BSF continues extrajudicial killings, torture, and ill-treatment of both Indian and Bangladeshi border residents. &amp;ldquo;The BSF has reverted to its previous tactics of unilaterally punishing suspects, defying orders from Delhi issued last year to exercise restraint and protect the right to life,&amp;rdquo; said HRW South-Asia Director Meenakshi Ganguly.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;But the central government is also responsible, since it has failed to hold perpetrators accountable. Justice is the best deterrent against further violations,&amp;rdquo; she added. HRW recalled that in December 2010 it released the report &amp;ldquo;Trigger Happy&amp;rdquo;, which documented the excessive use of force by the Indian Troops at the Bangladesh border as well as nearly 1,000 killings by the BSF over the last decade. In January 2011, Delhi assured Bangladeshi officials that it would order the BSF to exercise restraint and encourage the use of rubber bullets instead of more lethal ammunition.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Though the BSF&#039;s attacks decreased significantly over the next year, new evidence suggests that they continue to frequently abuse both the Bangladeshis and the Indians residing at the border, HRW said, adding that according to recent allegations, in order to get around the restrictions on shooting at sight, BSF jawans had been subjecting suspects to severe beatings and torture, resulting in deaths in custody.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A few months ago, the National Human Rights Commission had issued notices to the Union Home ministry and the BSF on the videos telecast by some TV channels about the alleged torture of cattle lifters by the BSF personnel near the Indo-Bangladesh border in West Bengal.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Human Rights Watch (HRW), an international human rights body, has urged the government of India to probe the fresh allegations of human rights violations by the personnel of the Border Security Force (BSF) along the Bangladesh border and prosecute those responsible.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to HRW&#039;s latest report, despite assurances to Bangladesh and public orders to end unlawful killings and attacks on suspected smugglers, evidence documented and published by Indian and Bangladeshi NGOs suggests that the BSF continues extrajudicial killings, torture, and ill-treatment of both Indian and Bangladeshi border residents. &amp;ldquo;The BSF has reverted to its previous tactics of unilaterally punishing suspects, defying orders from Delhi issued last year to exercise restraint and protect the right to life,&amp;rdquo; said HRW South-Asia Director Meenakshi Ganguly.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;But the central government is also responsible, since it has failed to hold perpetrators accountable. Justice is the best deterrent against further violations,&amp;rdquo; she added. HRW recalled that in December 2010 it released the report &amp;ldquo;Trigger Happy&amp;rdquo;, which documented the excessive use of force by the Indian Troops at the Bangladesh border as well as nearly 1,000 killings by the BSF over the last decade. In January 2011, Delhi assured Bangladeshi officials that it would order the BSF to exercise restraint and encourage the use of rubber bullets instead of more lethal ammunition.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Though the BSF&#039;s attacks decreased significantly over the next year, new evidence suggests that they continue to frequently abuse both the Bangladeshis and the Indians residing at the border, HRW said, adding that according to recent allegations, in order to get around the restrictions on shooting at sight, BSF jawans had been subjecting suspects to severe beatings and torture, resulting in deaths in custody.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A few months ago, the National Human Rights Commission had issued notices to the Union Home ministry and the BSF on the videos telecast by some TV channels about the alleged torture of cattle lifters by the BSF personnel near the Indo-Bangladesh border in West Bengal.

According to HRW's latest report, despite assurances to Bangladesh and public orders to end unlawful killings and attacks on suspected smugglers, evidence documented and published by Indian and Bangladeshi NGOs suggests that the BSF continues extrajudicial killings, torture, and ill-treatment of both Indian and Bangladeshi border residents. &ldquo;The BSF has reverted to its previous tactics of unilaterally punishing suspects, defying orders from Delhi issued last year to exercise restraint and protect the right to life,&rdquo; said HRW South-Asia Director Meenakshi Ganguly.

‘Investigate BSF's human rights violations'-J Balaji

-The Hindu Human Rights Watch (HRW), an international human rights body, has urged the government of India to probe the fresh allegations of human rights violations by the personnel of the Border Security Force (BSF) along the Bangladesh border and prosecute those responsible. According to HRW's latest report, despite assurances to Bangladesh and public orders to end unlawful killings and attacks on suspected smugglers, evidence documented and published by Indian and Bangladeshi NGOs suggests that the BSF continues extrajudicial killings, torture, and ill-treatment of both Indian and Bangladeshi border residents. “The BSF has reverted to its previous tactics of unilaterally punishing suspects, defying orders from Delhi issued last year to exercise restraint and protect the right to life,” said HRW South-Asia Director Meenakshi Ganguly. “But the central government is also responsible, since it has failed to hold perpetrators accountable. Justice is the best deterrent against further violations,” she added. HRW recalled that in December 2010 it released the report “Trigger Happy”, which documented the excessive use of force by the Indian Troops at the Bangladesh border as well as nearly 1,000 killings by the BSF over the last decade. In January 2011, Delhi assured Bangladeshi officials that it would order the BSF to exercise restraint and encourage the use of rubber bullets instead of more lethal ammunition. Though the BSF's attacks decreased significantly over the next year, new evidence suggests that they continue to frequently abuse both the Bangladeshis and the Indians residing at the border, HRW said, adding that according to recent allegations, in order to get around the restrictions on shooting at sight, BSF jawans had been subjecting suspects to severe beatings and torture, resulting in deaths in custody. A few months ago, the National Human Rights Commission had issued notices to the Union Home ministry and the BSF on the videos telecast by some TV channels about the alleged torture of cattle lifters by the BSF personnel near the Indo-Bangladesh border in West Bengal.
