For a long time, members of the ICRF\u2014about 40-50 volunteers and numerous anonymous individuals\u2014took the initiative to prepare a counter-report. \u201cBy counter-report, we mean the report that Volker Turk published, how true it is, the methodology he applied, the information and facts he provided, how true it is\u2014we also investigated all these things on behalf of this organisation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regarding the shortcomings of the OHCHR report, the social media influencer said that during the preparation of this entire report, no statement of any minister, MP, police officer, or any official concerned was taken at that time. The facts that have been stated are false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen the descriptions that have been given are super biased. Even the methodology that they have applied, their primary sources, secondary sources, and their links\u2014we have seen countless discrepancies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that the ICRF report was finally ready on Monday after making a lot of changes and additions to it. \u201cThe rebuttal part of this report is 192 pages. And 305 pages are the appendix that accompanies what we call the evidence we submitted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rebuttal has been given, considering all these things thoroughly. The flaws in every paragraph of the OHCHR report have been identified, he said, thanking the contributors for collectively publishing this \u201cgreat report.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nNijhoom Majumder revealed that they will now spread the report to different parts of the world, telling the people, the governments and international organisations how a United Nations body prepares such false reports, how they distort facts, how they lie, and how they take a side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Report: 528 Awami League leaders, activists killed since July 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Custodial Death: 31 Awami League leaders, activists killed in\u00a014\u00a0months<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n ICT-BD: OHCHR Dhaka rep Huma Khan\u2019s dubious role raises eyebrows<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Awami League has trashed the OHCHR report and demanded a thorough investigation, condemning bias due to the coercion of the Yunus gang with Volker Turk and UN Resident Representative Gwyn Lewis, and the Soros corporations, a major player of the US deep state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It has prepared lists of 528 Awami League leaders, workers and supporters killed since July last year and another 31 party members killed in police custody and prisons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, the Global Center for Democratic Governance (GCDG) published a report on September 29, 2025, dismantling the OHCHR report\u2019s credibility, labelling it a \u201cpolitically framed narrative\u201d that serves the interests of the Yunus-led interim administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe OHCHR report, while drawing necessary international attention to grave violations, is marred by fundamental biases that undermine its legitimacy,\u201d states the analysis. It argues that their reliance on information from interim government allies, coupled with omissions of violence perpetrated by protesters and opposition groups, paints an incomplete and skewed picture of the crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Momen blasts UN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Former Foreign Minister and former Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the United Nations, Professor Dr. AK Abdul Momen, has made an urgent appeal to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for an independent and transparent investigation into the report of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OHCHR) on the protests and violence in July-August 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a strongly worded letter to Secretary-General Guterres dated October 20, 2025, Dr. Momen described the OHCHR report as based on \u201cfactual inconsistencies\u201d and \u201cbiased narratives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He expressed concern that the report was undermining the credibility of the UN and further fueling political instability in the country by encouraging an \u201cunelected regime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Momen warned that the OHCHR\u2019s flawed report has fueled political manipulation. It has pushed Bangladesh, which has made remarkable progress in development and poverty alleviation, to the brink of humanitarian, economic and social collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Momen noted in his letter that the International Criminal Tribunal for Bangladesh had recommended the arrest of 25 senior military officers based on the OHCHR report. Many of these officials have served with great efficiency in UN peacekeeping missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He alleged that UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk has directed the Bangladesh government to refer these officials to a \u201cKangaroo Tribunal,\u201d which changes its rules without following any procedural rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Momen argued that while accountability and justice are essential, the UN should uphold the principles of impartiality and accuracy. But the OHCHR report lacks objectivity and due process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He stressed that by omitting important facts, the OHCHR report is hiding the real criminals and is portraying those who were engaged in maintaining law and order as criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sheikh Hasina\u2019s challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Awami League President and five-time Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has also challenged <\/a>the OHCHR to prove its claim of 1,400 deaths during the anarchy that ended in the attack on Ganabhaban on August 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During a virtual meeting, she also called for a proper investigation into the deaths to unearth the mystery behind the \u201cmeticulously designed\u201d killings of protesters, ordinary people, and the police, orchestrated by Muhammad Yunus and his gang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She also criticised the Jamaat-controlled interim government for declaring indemnity for the killings and other crimes committed against the police and Awami League leaders and activists and vowed to ensure justice when her party returns to power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen six people were killed [on July 16], I ordered the formation of a judicial inquiry committee and asked the United Nations to investigate the deaths. Why would I have formed the inquiry committee had I ordered the murders?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI did it because I wanted to know how these killings took place and who killed them. Our police force did not use such lethal bullets,\u201d she said, blaming Yunus for the planned murders using 7.62-grade bullets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sheikh Hasina said the UN and London-based human rights group Amnesty International should thoroughly investigate each death during the protest and post-August 5 period, exhume the bodies, and conduct forensics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
