GENEVA (Reuters) - The UN's human rights chief said on Wednesday there are reasonable grounds to believe officials of the former government of Bangladesh and security apparatus committed serious human rights violations against anti-government protesters last summer.
A fact-finding report found that "certain crimes against humanity have been committed", the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, told reporters in Geneva.
