抄録

Remand is a criminal justice system process in Bangladesh. This process has been misused because of the abuse of the power by law enforcement agencies. Torture is the most extreme form of human rights violation in Bangladesh. Although the law prescribes remand for assisting fair justice, law enforcement agencies use it to torture innocent people in their custody. There are many legal safeguards against torture under remand in Bangladesh, including constitutional and special laws. Bangladesh has also ratified someinternational instruments that are strongly against torture while in police custody. However, in reality, torture remains and is not proscribed in Bangladesh. Many human rights organizations have expressed concerns regarding torture in remand in Bangladesh. There are some previous studies regarding torture while in police custody in Bangladesh, most of which have focused on the loopholes of old laws and judicial development. This paper emphasizes the torture under remand and ineffectiveness of the newly enacted law regarding the prevention of torture and ratification of the Optional Protocol of the Torture Convention (United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatmentor Punishment).
