Speakers at a seminar organized by Citizen Initiative claimed that the police are refusing to file cases because they are involved in the murders themselves. They emphasized that fascism should be judged in international courts. According to the speakers, reconciliation without justice is dangerous. Since August 5, only three of the disappeared persons have been released, while the others remain missing. BNP leader Salahuddin Khan alleged that the ruling Awami League, using law enforcement agencies, has been involved in forced disappearances and killings to suppress opposition. Speakers also noted that they would seek UN assistance to secure justice.
