Freedom of speech in the Constitutional mandate of Bangladesh and other statutory of provisions Parameters

Abstract

Bangladesh is one of the few countries in the world which allows preventive detention even during non-emergency periods. Since Independence preventive detention has been the most used tool in case of violation Human rights. Irrespective of any forms of government which has been in power in Bangladesh, has used this as a mean of political exploitation. Each of them have failed miserably to stop the endemic problem regarding preventive detention. However, this is against the spirit of our constitution, democracy and the rule of law. Despite various legal safeguards against preventive detention, the practice of malicious preventive detention is rampant in Bangladesh. The study aims to show how the rights are violated through preventive detention and how the legal authorities are abusing their powers. In my research I want to highlight the detention and scope of preventive detention, its historical development, its nature and our constitutional safeguards for it. I will also highlight why preventive detention is a necessary evil for our country. I will cite the leading cases relating to preventive detention in Bangladesh and while emphasizing on the recommendations given by the Supreme Court. And lastly will also give my recommendation on how we can put chains on this blackest of the black laws. The Constitution of Bangladesh ensures the equal rights and status of women in public life. But nondiscrimination over women in the private sphere is not guaranteed. Consequently, there significant disparities between men and women in all realms of life. Lack of equal access to economic opportunities, education, health services and their lesser role in decision making perpetuate women’s subordination to men and susceptibility to violence. The notion of the society about girl children within the family itself builds up a mindset that girls ought to be less to be important than the male children. The multiple forms of discrimination against girls begin at home and continue to the end of their lives. This imbalanced foundation of knowledge, fully biased in favor of the male of the males of the family, spreads through the society in general, resulting in tremendous forms of violence and injustice to women as a while. The article highlight the key reasons of oppression over women such as physical, sexual and psychological abuse that cuts across lines of income, class and culture and its ultimate consequences. This article evaluates the loopholes in the existing criminal justice system of Bangladesh concerning violence against women with mentioning necessary possible way outs.
