France-based rights group urges scrapping death penalty

JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF) has called upon Bangladesh interim government, led by Nobel laureate Prof. Dr. Muhammad Yunus to abolish the death penalty in all its forms.
The statement from the France-based rights group came on the occasion of World Day Against the Death Penalty 2024 being observed on Thursday.
The statement asserts that the death penalty is an irreversible and inhumane punishment that has no place in a just and civilized society.
This stance aligns with national and international legal frameworks that prioritise human dignity, the right to life, and fairness.
