During the meeting they discussed a wide range of human rights issues including Rohingya crisis, Digital Security Act, extrajudicial killings and the last general elections. This is his first visit to Bangladesh on the way to Myanmar for the annual human rights meeting in Naypyitaw. Asked why the EU is concerned about Khaleda's jailing by the court, the envoy said: “It's fair to say that when we see, in any country, a major opposition leader who has been imprisoned, it raises questions. Why is this happening?”He said his fellow parliamentarians in the EU will also ask him similar questions after his visit. The envoy will visit Rohingya camps in Cox’s Bazar on Tuesday.
