America Refuses To Sanction Bangladesh And Boycott China Over Minority Rights Abuses

Congressman Gregory Meeks recently stated that he does not want to impose any sanctions upon Bangladesh, stressing that the Asian country has an excellent relationship with the United States.  However, Mendi Safadi, who heads the Safadi Center for International Diplomacy, Research, Public Relations and Human Rights, condemned Meeks for this position.

“Unfortunately, the Biden government is abandoning the minorities in Bangladesh and abandoning the opposition of Sheikh Hussein’s government, seriously undermining the values of democracy that Bangladeshi citizens so long for,” Safadi said, explaining that Meeks is ignoring the ongoing massacre perpetrated by radical organizations protected by the Bangladeshi government, as well as the fate of political prisoners within the Asian country.

“In a statement by Congressman Gregory W. Mikes, the Biden administration and members of his party ignore the brutal violation of basic human rights suffered by minorities and political rivals in Bangladesh,” he noted.  “The House of Representatives would do well to invite us to a meeting, where we would present to them the hard facts and documentation of the range of violations that the minorities suffer from every day.  We have reports and photocopied findings on the atrocities in Bangladesh.”
