UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' spokesman Stephen Dujarric has renewed call for free and fair elections in Bangladesh.

He said: "We are calling for free and fair elections, where people can vote freely without any intimidation."

He said this in response to a journalist's question at a briefing on Thursday (December 21).

"Obviously after the election we may have something to say," he said. But our position remains unchanged.

In response to a question about the burning of three compartments of the Dhaka-bound Mohanganj Express train on December 19, he said, "I offer my condolences to those who died in the terrible fire." I think it is the responsibility of the authorities of Bangladesh to fully investigate the source and bring those responsible to justice."
