The UN report documented numerous extrajudicial killings, with at least 12-13% of the victims under 18. One of the most shocking incidents involved the shooting of 23-year-old Abu Sed in Rangpur, whose death was captured on video. The footage shows the young protester raising his hands skyward as police fire metal pellet-loaded shotguns at close range, leading to Sed’s death in hospital. The UN classified this as a deliberate extrajudicial killing.
