Bangladesh Rejects Human Rights Group's Claim
Pyongyang, May 15 (KCNA) -- Bangladesh has rejected an international human rights group's claim that the government's special anti-crime force is involved in torture of suspects and extrajudicial killings.

"The allegations are baseless. The special force acts only in self-defense. It does not kill anyone," Bangladeshi Home Minister Sahara Khatun told reporters Wednesday responding to a report by New York-based Human Rights Watch.
