孟加拉国在推翻前总理谢赫·哈西娜两年后，其改革进程面临严重挫折。[1]2024年8月，哈西娜在导致超过1000人死亡的骚乱中逃往印度。[1]随后上台的临时政府推行了改革议程，但在2026年2月全民公决中约70%选民批准《七月宪章》后上台的孟加拉国民族党政府，被指未能履行改革承诺。[1]
孟加拉国民族党拒绝采纳临时政府提交的133项法案中的20项，其中涉及人权委员会、反腐委员会、强迫失踪和公投等关键领域的措施。[1]根据临时政府报告，在1913起强迫失踪投诉中，已有1569起得到证实。[1]此外，2026年4月21日，一名男子米拉吉·谢赫疑遭伪装成海岸警卫队人员的男子绑架，至今下落不明已超三个月。[1]
政治局势因哈西娜的计划而进一步复杂化。[1]哈西娜在接受路透社采访时表示打算在12月返回孟加拉国投案。[1]孟加拉国检察长随即声称，哈西娜一旦回国将被立即逮捕并接受审判。[1]
Bangladesh confronts mounting concerns about stalled reforms nearly two years after the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. [1] The interim government that took power following the August 2024 unrest, which claimed over 1,000 lives, [1] had championed an ambitious reform agenda. However, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party government that assumed office following February 2026 referendum approval of the July Charter—backed by approximately 70 percent of voters [1]—has faced criticism for failing to advance reform commitments, refusing to adopt 20 of 133 proposed bills from the interim administration. [1] These rejected measures encompass provisions addressing human rights commissions, anti-corruption bodies, enforced disappearances, and referendums. [1]
The interim government documented 1,913 complaints of forced disappearances, of which 1,569 were substantiated, [1] underscoring the scale of accountability concerns the reform process was designed to address. Political uncertainty has intensified as Hasina, now in exile in India, announced plans to return to Bangladesh in December to surrender to authorities. [1] Bangladesh's Attorney General has asserted that Hasina will face immediate arrest and trial upon her return. [1] On April 21, 2026, a man named Miraj Sheikh was allegedly abducted by individuals suspected of being coast guard personnel and has remained missing for more than three months. [1]
