The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of Bangladesh is an autonomous public body established in 2007 to advocate for and protect human rights.
In 2025, under the Interim government of Muhammad Yunus, an ordinance was drafted which gives the organization new duties and powers such as investigation, prosecution, legal representation of complainants. The new ordinance allows the organization to arrest and investigate suspects regardless of rank or political position independently.
