Plea filed seeking probe into allegations of enforced disappearance in 15 years

The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) today (23 September) received a plea seeking a probe into allegations of enforced disappearance, which took place in the last 15 years in the country.

One Enamul Kabir, a businessman who himself was allegedly a victim of enforced disappearance, filed the plea with the ICT prosecution wing.

“Kabir was picked up from his Basabo office on 17 November 2018, by the detective branch (DB) of police. He had been kept confined at DB office with his hands and legs tied at the order of the then officer Moshiur. Ultimately on 26 November, a fake explosive case was filed against him,” chief prosecutor Advocate Tajul Islam said.

The chief prosecutor further said complainant also accused 25, including ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in his plea.
