The Australia government expressed its deep concern about the killing of Xulhaz Mannan and other recent murders in Bangladesh in a statement released by the Australia High Commission in Bangladesh on 27 April. The government called for the murders to be investigated swiftly and for those responsible to be brought to justice. We noted that the victims were respected citizens and we offered condolences to the families, friends and communities of the victims. Australia stands with Bangladesh in opposing the intolerance and violence espoused by terrorist and other extremist groups.

Question agreed to.
