Marking International Day of the Disappeared, BNP’s Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman pledged that if elected, a BNP-led government would enact laws in line with international conventions to prevent enforced disappearances. He described enforced disappearances as a “grave human rights violation” often used by authoritarian regimes against dissenters. Citing the alarming rise of such incidents under the current government, Tarique assured that “no citizen will fall victim to disappearances” under BNP’s rule.
