That this House is concerned at the circumstances surrounding the detention in Bangladesh of both the former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia and the former Prime Minister and leader of the opposition Sheikh Hasina; urges the caretaker Government to ensure that all allegations against these ladies are closely scrutinised to ensure that there are no malicious or politically motivated denunciations; further notes the allegations of the apparent suppression of political free speech which has culminated in the recent jailing of four Bangladeshi university professors; and calls on the caretaker Government to ensure that lawful protest and freedom of political expression is allowed.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
