Canadian foreign minister Mélanie Joly has called for a quick and peaceful return to a democratic and inclusive civilian-led government in the country.
 
"We urge the people of Bangladesh to unite around the principles of freedom and democracy upon which their country was founded," she said in a statement Tuesday.
 
During this transition, she said, Canada urged all parties to respect and uphold democratic institutions and processes and the rule of law, reports BSS.
 
It is vital that all those arrested in recent weeks be accorded due process in the justice system and that a full and impartial investigation be pursued to ensure accountability for crimes committed, she said.
 
"Canada strongly condemns the human rights violations, deaths, torture, arbitrary arrests and lethal force used against the people of Bangladesh in recent weeks. We reiterate our deep condolences to all those impacted," read the statement.
 
Canadian foreign minister said that assuring the maintenance of a full internet access is critical to allow people to access information and connect with their loved ones in Canada and worldwide.

"Respect for fundamental human rights, including freedom of expression and the right to peaceful assembly, are critical for democratic governance and to build peaceful and prosperous societies," the statement added.
 
She said Canada stands with the people of Bangladesh during these challenging times.
