XXXXX Title:– Special Powers Act, 1974: Big Brother Exercises the Big Stick in Bangladesh
About the book:– The use of preventive detention laws in Bangladesh has a history longer than that of the Republic itself. From its inception, the Special Powers Act  has been used as a tool by military administrators and allegedly democratic leaders to silence political dissent. The preventive detention as it is used and abused under the Special Powers Act violates a number of fundamental human rights norms provided under the Bangladesh Constitution and International human rights law. This report examines the Special Powers Act, 1974, abuses under the Act and makes appropriate recommendations.

XXXXX Title:– Sri Lanka’s Emergency Law or State-Sponsored Terrorism
About the book:– The state-sponsored tyranny that has resulted from the current state of emergency in Sri Lanka is attributed to the country’s draconian anti-terrorist legislation. This report highlights pertinent provisions of Sri Lankan legislation, namely the Public Security Ordinance, the Prevention of Terrorism Act, and the Emergency Regulations, which have contributed to the horrendous decline of human rights. A legal analysis under domestic law and international human rights standard is presented at the end by providing examples of misuse of the Emergency Regulations in Sri Lanka.

XXXXX Title:– Racial Discrimination: The Record of Sri Lanka
About the book:– Sri Lanka’s ethnic war is one of the starkest illustrations of the consequences of a state policy that legitimises discrimination. The deliberate and systematic exclusion of the Tamil community has been largely responsible for the prolonged and tortuous conflict that shows no sign of abating. This report looks at the effects of these policies and examines how the Sri Lankan governmentâ™s policies continue to violate the Constitution as well as several international human rights instruments.
