The Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, said:
The last two weeks in Bangladesh have seen unprecedented levels of violence and tragic loss of life. A transitional period has been announced by the Chief of the Army Staff.
All sides now need to work together to end the violence, restore calm, deescalate the situation and prevent any further loss of life.
The people of Bangladesh deserve a full and independent UN-led investigation into the events of the past few weeks.
The UK wants to see action taken to ensure Bangladesh a peaceful and democratic future. The UK and Bangladesh have deep people-to-people links and shared Commonwealth values.
