Disappearance Commission

The Commission of Inquiry into the Disappearances

has submitted its second interim

report to its chief advisor, Professor Muhammad Yunus. The members of the commission, led by Chief Justice Mainul Islam Chowdhury, submitted the report to the chief advisor at the State Guest House Jamuna at 11 am on Wednesday.

Among the members present were Noor Khan, Sajjad Hossain and Nabila Idris.

Advisor Adilur Rahman Khan, National Security Advisor Khalilur Rahman, and Principal Secretary to the Chief Advisor Siraj Uddin Mia were present at the time.

After submitting the report, the chief advisor said that arrangements should be made to publish the report on a website and in book form. There is interest in it not only in Bangladesh but also globally.

"What a horrific incident! The 'gentlemen' of our society, our own relatives, have committed these incidents. There should be a horror museum based on what you have found. Horrifying incidents. People should be shown the brutality and cruelty of being locked up in a three-foot by three-foot hut day after day, month after month."

At this time, he instructed the

commission members to identify the immediate tasks of the report and specify which falls under which ministry, so that the government can start the work within a short time.

A commission member told the chief advisor that the incidents were so horrific that many of the officers and others involved felt remorse. They contacted us as an attempt to cleanse themselves. Two officers even wrote letters seeking forgiveness. The letters were found in Ganabhaban. The then army chief publicly acknowledged the letter.

Commission members said that the commission has received 1,850 complaints so far, and of these, 1,350 complaints have been investigated.

The commission members also said that the number of complaints could exceed 3,500. They also said that more than 300 of the victims of disappearances are still missing.

The commission head requested

the chief advisor to take initiatives so that the families of missing persons can at least transact as banks.

He said that under the existing law, if someone has been missing for seven years, they can be presumed dead. He recommended amending the law to increase it to five years.

The Chief Advisor advised the

Commission to inform it of what to do so that action can be taken in this regard as soon as possible.

Thanking the commission members, the chief advisor said, "You are working despite fear and various threats. You will be an inspiration to the people of this country. You will be an inspiration to those who will work for human rights in the future."
