A recently circulated video on social media shows several individuals forcibly cutting the hair and knots of a passerby in public. Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK) expresses its deep concern over this incident, terming such acts as completely inhumane, unlawful, and a clear violation of the Constitution and fundamental human rights.<\/p>\n
Article 31 of the Constitution of Bangladesh guarantees every citizen the right to live with dignity under the protection of law. Article 32 ensures the right to life and personal liberty, while Article 35 prohibits cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment of any individual. Forcibly cutting a person\u2019s hair in public not only violates the victim\u2019s fundamental rights and personal liberty but also directly undermines their dignity. Such incidents create an environment of fear, intimidation, and insecurity in society.<\/p>\n
ASK firmly believes that such acts are contrary to the rule of law and human rights in Bangladesh. It is therefore imperative to promptly identify those responsible and bring them under legal accountability. At the same time, the State must ensure that no citizen is subjected to such humiliation and unlawful treatment in the future.<\/p>\n
