"The Secretary-General welcomes efforts to restore calm and organize parliamentary elections in Bangladesh, with the support of an
interim government," said Deputy Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General Farhan Haq in a statement.
The Secretary-General stands in full solidarity with the people of Bangladesh and calls for the full respect of their human rights, he said.
The UN chief continues to underscore the need for a full, independent, impartial, and transparent investigation into all acts of violence, said his deputy spokesperson.

He said they are against all attacks on journalists anywhere for any reason.
"And we are alarmed at the reports of attacks that have taken place," he mentioned while responding to a question.
