class=\"ryNqvb\"><strong>The Crime Desk:<\/strong> Today is August 30.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">International Day for the Prevention of Missing Persons <\/span><\/span><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The Day of Remembrance of Missing Persons is observed around the world today.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">On December 20, 2006, it was adopted by the UN General Assembly as an international instrument for all missing persons.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The International Convention for the Protection of All Persons Against Enforced Disappearance, which came into force in December 2010, declared August 30 as the International Day for the Prevention of Disappearance.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Since 2011, the day has been observed worldwide on August 30 every year to remember the missing and also express condolences to their families.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">And among the victims of disappearance are ordinary people along with political leaders and activists.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The non-governmental organization Law and Arbitration Center (ASK) said that no one has gone missing in the last two years.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Five people went missing last year, of whom four were arrested by law enforcement agencies.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Another was released after being abducted.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">And this time, six people were missing.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">All of them later returned.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">According to Amnesty International, in the 1970s and 1980s in Latin American countries, only illegal arms dealers and dissidents went missing.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">But nowadays, disappearances are also seen among ethnic groups, drug dealers, and human traffickers.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">ASK has demanded the signing of the International Convention against Disappearance and the formation of an impartial commission to investigate the related complaints.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Analyzing the data collected from various media, ASK said that 34 people have gone missing in Bangladesh from 2019 to August 29, 2023.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Of these, 12 were later arrested, and 11 returned.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">11 people have gone missing in the last five years.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Before this, from 2007 to 2019, 604 people have gone missing, and the families and relatives of the victims have complained.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Among them, the bodies of 78 people were later recovered, 89 people were arrested, and 57 people returned.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">In most of these cases, the family, relatives, or eyewitnesses have claimed that a person or persons in plain clothes are being picked up under the identities of Special Forces RAB, DB Police, and the Intelligence Department.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">But in most cases, the concerned forces deny their arrest or detention.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Asak demanded that all the missing people be found and returned to their families immediately.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">An independent and impartial commission should be formed to ensure a fair investigation into every complaint of disappearance.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The International Convention on Missing Persons must be signed.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The existing legal framework must be changed to ensure the prosecution of such cases without denying allegations of serious human rights violations, such as disappearances.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Crime Desk: Today is August 30.
