World Justice Project-Rule of Law Index and Bertelsmann Foundation Transformation Index. The low score of Bangladesh in the CPI generally leads to the conclusion that, human rights of the people are being violated because of corruption. Political Violence The beginning of 2015 witnessed huge political violence led by BNP alliance in connivance with Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh. The then opposition party boycotted the national election of 5th January 2014. In their absence Awami League won the election and formed the government. At the anniversary of the election, BNP led blockade programs where throwing patrol bombs, killing of people took place. The daily life of people of Bangladesh was hampered in January and February. The Secondary School Certification examination also delayed many times for the protest programs. On 15 February 2015, the High Court ordered the government to take effective action to quash ongoing protests that have left more than 100 people dead. JAMAKON played a pivotal role during that time. A lot of press releases were issued condemning the role played by those political parties. JAMAKON criticized the role played by media which termed it as political violence but JAMAKON deems it as terrorism. So it should have been termed as terrorism. Terrorism or violence cannot be the language of protest in the dictionary of democracy. Disappearance and enforcing agency killing by law Spokesman of a political party was abducted on March 10, 2015 from an apartment where he was hiding. Witnesses said the abductors identified themselves as member of the Detective Branch, while other witnesses reported the presence of RAB vehicles in the area. In May, he was found in India and was charged by Indian authorities with illegal entry. He sought protection from the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), saying he had been abducted by unknown gunmen and feared for his life if returned to Bangladesh. The government failed to investigate the possible role of security forces in this and other disappearances, even in cases where family members identified the perpetrators to be members of RAB or police. The total number complaints of extra judicial killing dealt by JAMAKON is only 6 amongst them suo moto initiative taken by JAMAKON is 5! That means only one complaint was lodged by the complainant. The main reason of this meager figure is the circumscribed power given by the NHRC Act 2009. JAMAKON deems that the Act should be revised and empower JAMAKON according to the call of time. Freedom of expression and association Five secular writers and publishers have been hacked to death in Bangladesh in 2015. However, judgment of killing of blogger Rajib was delivered on 31stDecember 2015. This is the first decision against killing of bloggers. Section 57 of ICT Act 2006 goes against people's right to freedom of expression and free speech. The HC on September 1 questioned the legality of section 57, issuing a rule upon the government to explain as to why the section should not be declared unconstitutional. The government is drafting Digital Security Act 2015 where all the contradictory sections of, including section 57, will be repealed. The position of JAMAKON in this regard was very much clear during that time. JAMAKON condemned every attack on the bloggers and demanded the trial of the perpetrators. JAMAKON was a constant vocal of freedom of expression throughout the year. 9 JAMAKON
