Dhaka: UN Spokesman for the Secretary-General, Stéphane Dujarric has said their colleagues in the human rights body condemned the killing of blogger Avijit Roy and expressed the hope that the perpetrators will be quickly brought to justice through the due process of law.

“On the attack of the blogger, we spoke to our human rights colleagues who obviously condemned the attack,” Dujarric said while responding to a question at the regular briefing in the UN headquarters early Saturday.

Quoting his colleagues in the rights body, he said they added that it is obviously very important that the space for freedom of expression ­­in civil society be upheld in Bangladesh. 

Responding to a question on Bangladesh government’s reported inquiry with the UN trying to essentially question a Bangladeshi journalist the Spokesman said, “UN's position is if somebody meets the accreditation criteria, they are welcome in this room and they are welcome to ask any questions.”

Dujarric also said he may cut them off if the preamble to their question is too long. “But that's just my chair's prerogative.”

The point is that once they are in this room, they are allowed to ask whatever they want, he added.
