The National Human Rights Commission feels that there should be a fair investigation into every incident of disappearance and disappearance during the Awami League government.

The Commission received a Spontaneous Complaint (Suomto) in view of a news item published in a national daily. At the same time, the commission has directed the senior secretary of the public security department of the Ministry of Home Affairs to confirm the current location of each missing and missing person and to submit a report on identifying the involved persons and taking appropriate legal action on September 18. Suomoto was announced in a news release on Thursday.

Suomito states that recourse to law is a constitutional right. A person who has committed a crime should be prosecuted under the existing law, but many people have been reported missing and missing in the past few years without any arrests being made. Many of whom have not been found till date. The image that emerges of extrajudicial detention and torture rivals even medieval barbarism. This is gross violation of human rights.

It is to be noted that the news report published in the daily Bangladesh Pratidin on August 14 with the title ‘Relatives looking for the missing’ came to the attention of the National Human Rights Commission.

The chairman of the commission. The content of the petition signed by Kamal Uddin Ahmed is that the relatives of the Chief Advisor of the Interim Government held a sit-in program in front of the Yamuna in front of the residence and office of the Chief Advisor of the Interim Government seeking to find those who went missing during the rule of the Awami League. On August 14, they staged a protest on the VIP road of the capital. At that time, the protestors demanded the search for more than a hundred missing persons. They stay in search of someone’s husband, someone’s father, or someone’s brother.

‘mirror house mirror house, open open open’; ‘I want freedom, I want freedom, I want the release of missing relatives’; They chanted ‘Our demand is our demand, we must accept it’. Tejgaon Thana Jubodal leader Bashir Uddin Howladar went missing from Gulistan in the capital on June 14, 2011. He has one son and one daughter. His wife Hosne Ara and children demanded his return while standing in front of the Yamuna. Relatives of many such missing and missing persons appealed to the new government to trace the missing persons.
