Context BD-Aug 30: UN Day for the Victims of Enforced Disappearances

Q M Jalal Khan, From Canada

Enforced disappearances, human and citizens’ rights abuses, and widespread detentions of innocent civilians are the go of the day in Bangladesh under the brutally beastly sociopath and psychopath ‘hasina’. Those crimes and criminal acts by the she-devil are so regular and rampant that the entire country is caught under fear, fright, coercion, capitulation, and intimidation.

Despite their common occurrences, there is hardly any loud and meaningful protest either by the opposition parties or the mass media, most of the latter being anti-state and anti-Muslim lackeys of the fascist ‘hasina’ for the sake of making good on their fattening mammonite greed.  There is an utterly deplorable and despicable bankruptcy—moral, ethical, and political—of the most of the mainstream media and the majority of journalists, who, in their toadish and tawdry loyalty and their sickening flattery and sycophancy to the Hinduized and Modi-fied ‘hasina’ regime, have most slavishly, shamelessly and unscrupulously chosen to be infected with a pro-Indian Hindutva virus and to have become a fact-free but not fat-free gluttonous part of the corrupt Awami regime. They have thus diminished and degenerated themselves to the level of the fifth columnists, who ought to be brought to account as the first order of business with the change of government when, not if, that happens. The yellow journalists in the country’s mass media are quiet, even silent, almost to the extent of being deaf and dumb about the hundreds of abductions and assassinations committed by RAW-infiltrated DB and DGFI directly under the control of the unelected ‘mom’ (mother of mafia) ‘hasina’. She has turned the country into a police and prison state of endless oppression, repression and persecution in a most autocratic and authoritarian way. Apart from a series of internationally conspired massacres, human and citizens’ rights abuses continue to occur unabated in dictator ‘hasina’s Bangladesh.

Recently there are videos of such violations that have gone viral in social media. There is, for example, https://youtu.be/QBMeTDu03fc  আয়নাঘরের বন্দী: ডিজিএফআইয়ের গোপন বন্দীশালা which describes the most heinous and horrible DGFI’s torture cells for the innocent people directly under the গুমি খুনী hyena ‘hasina’.

Netranews reports that বাংলাদেশে বলপূর্বক অন্তর্ধান বা গুমের শিকার ব্যক্তিদের কোথায় আটক রাখা হয়? এই প্রশ্নের উত্তর খুঁজতে গিয়েই নারকীয় এক গোপন বন্দীশালার সন্ধান পেয়েছে নেত্র নিউজ। ঢাকায় সামরিক গোয়েন্দা সংস্থা ডিজিএফআইয়ের সদরদপ্তরের ঠিক পেছনেই এই বন্দীশালাটির অবস্থান। দিনের পর দিন, মাসের পর মাস, বছরের পর বছর এখানে বন্দীদের আটক রেখে নির্যাতন করা হয়। আয়নাঘর নামক এই বন্দীশালার দুই সার্ভাইভারের জবানবন্দী এবং বাংলাদেশের সামরিক বাহিনীর সাথে সম্পৃক্ত হুইসেলব্লোয়ারদের দেওয়া তথ্যের ভিত্তিতে নেত্র নিউজের অনুসন্ধানী প্রতিবেদন।

শ্রীলঙ্কা গার্ডিয়ান পত্রিকা লিখেছে: ” 605 people disappeared during 2009-2021; of them, 81 dead bodies were found; a few resurfaced and returned home, bruised and battered; 151 are still missing. Here is a most serious and significant news report about the Hinduized গুমি খুনী Death Squad 100 or Crusader 100 by Jessica Fox: www.srilankaguardian.org/2012/04/bengal-tigers-in-r-cage.html

On the occasion of August 30: UN declared International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, let us dedicate our political and patriotic efforts to (among hundreds and thousands of others in different fields)—

The martyrs of the judicial murders by ‘hasina’s all kangaroo courts.

All those killed in a most inhuman and beastly manner in the LogiBoitha, BDR, Hefazat, and Jamaat massacres.

Hundreds and thousands of (victims of) extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, police and judicial harassment, judicial injustice, custodial deaths, and the criminals in the police, RAB, RAW, DB, DGFI and Death Squad-100.

Politicians and the members of the respectable Ulema (great Islamic religious scholars) rotting in jail. Thousands of others languishing behind bars for an indefinite period of time, making them lose their sense of sanity and balance.

Those who most unjustly suffered and are still suffering in the hands of the brute Awami police.

Those who have exemplified and contributed to a model of free speech in the field of journalism, civil society and democratic polity and who are playing the most prominent role, at the risk of their lives, in challenging the Hinduized Awami regime, as opposed to those who, in supporting the same fascists, are playing havoc to the cause of the nation and the country.  

Those who are prisoners of conscience under this fiendish and fascist Awami regime. Those who belong to the political opposition and speak out loud against the totally fascist and fiendish ‘hasina’ imposing a mafia thugocracy of force and fraud on the nation.

On this occasion of August 30: UN declared International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, let us also take the opportunity to remember (among many others, such as all those who are vocal and outspoken in their protest against the unelected ’hasina’, her brutal Death Squad 100 and her nonstop police tyranny) the members of the public and the patriotic opposition parties, writers, intellectuals, academics, professionals, persons in arts and culture, industrialists, businesspersons, etc. and the following:
