Swift action needed to protect democracy, UK says

Swift action is needed to “ensure democracy prevails” in Bangladesh, a spokesperson for UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer says.

Downing Street’s official spokesperson tells reporters in London that the prime minister is “deeply saddened by the violence we’ve seen in Bangladesh in recent weeks,” reports BBC.

He added, “I hope that swift action is taken to ensure that democracy prevails and accelerate the process towards peace and security for people in Bangladesh.”

His words come as speculation over Sheikh Hasina’s final destination grows. Some local media in India and Bangladesh have suggested she might travel to London.
