The CAT specifically requested Bangladesh to report on progress made toward four key recommendations. In this Alternative Report, the submitting organisations have highlighted on the key recommendations identified by the CAT for follow-up in its Concluding Observations on the initial report of Bangladesh, and the perspectives of civil society organisations on actions taken by the Government of Bangladesh toward implementation of those recommendations.
