Interim government chief Muhammad Yunus earlier instituted a commission on enforced disappearance, which took place during the deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s regime. It said the army, navy or air force were not institutionally involved in such actions. However, some officers who were on deputation in the elite anti-crime Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) or other agencies like the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI) or National Security Intelligence (NSI) were linked to such incidents. The commission’s chairman, Justice Moyeenul Islam Chowdhury, last month alleged that enforced disappearance was used as the tool of 鈥渟ystematic torture or oppression against the political opponents during Hasina’s regime. The army spokesman said the military was ready to extend any help required by families of victims of enforced disappearance. The UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances recently urged Bangladesh to end widespread impunity related to enforced disappearances and called for genuine accountability from military, law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
