NEW DELHI: Bangladesh's former Awami League government and security and intelligence services "systematically engaged" in serious human rights violations during last year's student-led protests that led to the ouster of premier Sheikh Hasina, the UN Human Rights Office said in a report released on Wednesday.

The report, released in Geneva following a fact-finding inquiry conducted by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) at the request of the interim government in Dhaka, said "violent elements associated with the Awami League" acted along with the government and security agencies in these human rights violations.
