During the International Week of the Disappeared, BNP leader Tarique Rahman urged the state to play an active role in preventing enforced disappearances. “No individual should ever fall victim to such inhumane practices again,” he stated. Citing BNP data, Tarique claimed that from 2009 to March 2024, at least 666 individuals were forcibly disappeared by law enforcement agencies. “The actual number is likely several times higher,” he added.

He emphasized that the culture of enforced disappearances must be dismantled to preserve human rights in Bangladesh.
