Delhi think tank to move ICC against Bangladesh's Yunus: 'Awami League workers hacked to death in Taliban style'
The Rights and Risks Analysis Group drew a parallel between the Bangladesh crisis and 'crimes against humanity committed in the context of post-election violence in Kenya in 2007/2008' read more
A Delhi-based think tank, the Rights and Risks Analysis Group (RRAG), has opened a front against Bangladesh's interim government led by Dr. Muhammad Yunus over the alleged deaths of 123 members of Bangladesh's Awami League and its affiliated organisations.
Yunus has been leading the South Asian nation since Awami League's Sheikh Hasina was ousted last August following a student-led uprising.
Calling Yunus government's alleged actions a 'crime against humanity', the RRAG said it would file a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The RRAG claimed that among the deceased are at least 41 Awami League members who were reportedly hacked to death, sometimes by throat-slitting in a 'Taliban-style' manner. Moreover, it said 21 others died while in the custody of the interim government.
The think tank also drew a parallel between the Bangladesh crisis and 'crimes against humanity committed in the context of post-election violence in Kenya in 2007/2008,' a crisis that the ICC previously investigated.
The group said the issue would also be raised with London, ahead of Yunus's scheduled visit to the UK from June 10.
