| dc.description.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 of 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 definition 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 I will also give
my recommendation on how we can put chains on this blackest of the black law | en_US |
