JMBF Urges EU Delegation to Address Human Rights Crisis in Bangladesh
JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF), an independent human rights organization, has issued an urgent appeal to the European Parliament’s Subcommittee on Human Rights ahead of its three-day visit to Bangladesh (16–18 September 2025).
