<h1>Perjury and official accountability: Fine for lying to a parliamentary committee reinforces enforcement of witness truthfulness.</h1> Bangladesh authorities arrested 41 former police officers amid investigations into alleged atrocities during a 2024 student-led movement, reflecting criminal accountability measures against security personnel accused of rights violations. Separately, a political leader was fined following a district-level finding that he lied under oath to a parliamentary committee, illustrating enforcement of perjury or false-testimony rules before legislative inquiry bodies and the use of monetary penalties as a sanction for testimonial breaches.
