A delegation led by Grażyna Baranowska, Vice-Chairperson of the United Nations Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, paid a courtesy call on Bangladesh Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman.

During the meeting, Baranowska expressed concern over allegations involving former army personnel who previously served in agencies such as the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI), and the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).

In response, General Waker-Uz-Zaman clarified that such personnel were under the operational command and authority of the respective agencies during their tenure. He reaffirmed the Bangladesh Army’s strong commitment to justice and the protection of human rights, adding that the military continues to fully cooperate with both national and international investigative processes.
