The Bangladeshi Check Committee for Hasina Abuse warns that impunity remains

• The Research Committee was founded by Muhammad Yunus.
• Returned 250+ imposed cases of extinction.
• Hasina remains in self -imposed exile in India.

A committee appointed by the Bangladeshi government, which is investigating hundreds of disappearances from security forces under the event of Premier Sheikh Hasina, warned Monday that she was continuing a “impunity culture”.

The Research Committee on imposed disappearances is investigating abuse during Hassina’s domination, whose government was accused of widespread human rights violations.

This includes the out -of -court killing of hundreds of political opponents and the illegal abduction and disappearance of hundreds.

The committee was founded by the provisional leader, a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize Muhammad Yunus, 84, who is facing strong political pressure as parties are fired for power before the elections expected at the beginning of next year.

Bangladesh has a long history of military coups and the army maintains a strong role.

“The disappearances in Bangladesh were not isolated acts of injustice, but the result of a politicized institutional mechanism that excluded, normalized and often rewarded such crimes,” the Commission said, in a part of an exhibition issued by the provisional government on Monday.

“Confidential, this culture of impunity continues even after the regime changed on August 5, 2024”.

The Commission has verified more than 250 cases of forced disappearances covering the 15 years that the Hasina Awami League was in power.

Commission chief Moyeenul Islam Chowdhury said earlier this month that the responsibility was with individual officers, who “participated in the need for disappearances” but not in the armed forces as an institution.

Earlier this month, a joint statement from rights groups – including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch – called on security forces to “fully work together with the Commission, ensuring unlimited and continuous access to all detention centers … and providing free access to files.”

Hasina, 77, remains in the self -imposed exile in India, where she left after her removal last year.

He has defied the orders to return to Dhaka to face charges that is equivalent to crimes against humanity. Her trial in absentia continues.
