Understanding Bangladesh's revolving imprisonment

The article addresses the issue of "revolving detention" in Bangladesh, characterized by prolonged and unjustified confinement of prisoners without formal charges or trials. The report highlights that this pattern of detention affects politicians and activists, and sometimes leads to the deaths of detainees inside prisons. Since February 2026, at least ten officials from the Awami League have died without any trials or specific charges. An example is former Chief Justice Abu Bakar Muhammad Khair, who has been detained since July 2025 despite needing medical treatment, and whose detention was renewed with false new charges. This illustrates the mechanism of revolving detention that prevents conditional or genuine release. The organization calls for an independent investigation into the deaths and improvements in healthcare for detainees, as hundreds are held without charges amid widespread criticism of how arbitrary detention practices are carried out in the country.
