DHAKA: Reprisals against journalists and indiscriminate arrests risk undermining Bangladesh’s once-in-a-generation opportunity to end the legal abuses seen under ousted premier Sheikh Hasina, Human Rights Watch warned on Tuesday.

Unemployment was a key driver of protests last year. Since the revolution, it has only grown worse.
