    A Critical Analysis on the Protection of Human Rights of the Death Convicts in Condemned Cells in Bangladesh
    (East West University, 2022-04-19) Akter, Nabila
    The death penalty, sometimes known as capital punishment, is the execution of a person who has committed a serious crime after the court has announced the conviction. An accused who has been sentenced to death must remain in a condemned cell until his/her execution. As a result, an accused has to spend the whole time of his/her trial in a condemned cell. Prolonged delay in concluding a death referral case might cause the accused to spend longer time than necessary. Bangladesh's constitution provides citizens a set of rights, including human rights, yet such essential rights are denied to those imprisoned in condemned cells. The goal of this research is to determine which parts of Bangladesh's constitution guarantee the human rights of prisoners in the condemned cell. The research also tries to identify possible reforms that the government may implement in compliance with international legal regime norms. To that end, this research looked at the effectiveness of existing legal frameworks concentrating on constitutional law and concluded with a thorough scenario on the topic.
