Welcome to the stream hundreds of people in bangladesh have gone missing over the last decade with family saying that state agencies are behind and many of those disappearances. I really could be alive today will hear from relatives pushing the government for answers and ask what these cases say about Political Freedoms and that ash in your thoughts through twitter and you tube. The death of a father sister brother or mother one of the most emotional tests that any family can face but when a relative just found the lack of closure makes the loss even harder to cope with thats the situation many families in bangladesh facing as days without their love turn to months and then yes several families say their relatives were simply snatched away by police and paramilitaries because of their links to the political opposition or activist groups. Or mothers call is one organization that regularly protests for information on the whereabouts of those who are missing last month families braved the heat during ramadan to once again call for justice Civil Society groups say there have been more than 500 enforced disappearances since january 2009 thats when the Awami League Led government current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina came to power and cases are still mounting on saturday house and mahmud a leader within the Opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party was taken from his home by the elite Rapid Action Battalion his family. Those that are ab denies arresting mamoun whose precise location is unknown for more on this we are joined from the bangladeshi capital dakar by sanjeeda islam she is director of wired dark thats mothers call which is campaigning for the safe return of family members who have gone missing personally im clearly is an exiled independent journalist focusing on human rights issues hes in the swedish city of namo that we start out as a secretary general at the International Federation for human rights which recently released a report on missing people in bangladesh she joins us from paris we also invited representatives from several Bangladesh Government offices to join us including the home and foreign ministries but instead they sent us a statement i will be sharing part of that statement with you during the program but i guess it is good to have you here to explain what is going on in bangladesh for some families let me share a Family Picture with you this is a very sad one this is a mother with a son who disappeared many years ago you are very close to this family sanjeeda this is part of your family can you tell us the story about what happened to your brother. My brother changed the islam she won 2000 turning 4th of december you was abducted by a rapid action back lee and it was just before the election of 2 dozen people generally you know you were on those aboard that election and before that it action huge abduction have been by the Law Enforcement agencies in violation and my brother has worn and with the him there were 5 other prince who were staying in bush in daraa and rapid action belin reptilian came with their double garver and uniform and abducted and then from there. We got all the. And from that day we have started going to the off responsible agencies everywhere wrapped up 3 separate quarter from my family but they have denied and there was they were saying that there was an operation happen. In on that time with them but they were not actually even touching or taking any case we have tried to file a general diety we have tried to file if if i are but please was not taking the case because we want to mention that a rabbi was arrested them and. It is like 6 years and within these 6 years from our side we doll these 6 families and including on that particular day night to our other person also abducted by rab. So families we have started doing. Some reading back to cations then all the legal documents to the Law Enforcement agencies including the open history. A rabbi office is Police Police office of business and then all the. Branch offices our long. Good quarters but deal now all we have never had any order of investigation or any any reply from their right here side and that as indeed i thank you for sharing that story because i know it cant be easy to talk about your missing brother in front of an International Audience and to have to relive that every time you do so thank you for sharing its powerful and youre not alone we got a tweet from someone who describes an attempted abduction so this is an organization. They say alert attempted abduction of boko bangladesh Human Rights Defender nor khan director of Human Rights Organization we got a video comment from noor himself who talks about the experience of what he believes is this attempted abduction have a listen to what he told us when i lived in my office lost my home. One microbursts. Our son and then strikers dont. Stand a chance and better. Or worse. And. Im desperately needs many. Against and for to their parents and its time to be. Forget them. They. Maybe try to get me to 3 days before they try to collect some information regarding my moment from our stuff so to steam his rickshaw was stopped in traffic he ran back to the office i mean this sounds kind of like a harrowing experience there but how common are stories like this and what do you know about nor story. Well i was actually reading a story in a report that came out in the model today but this is very common we know that is he these are micro buses are used by these agencies reputation battalion is one the director general of course intelligence is a not a detective bunch is another so all of them use these very fancy is these obviously bought using taxpayers money to abduct the citizens and keep them as secret prisoners so in bangladesh it is a very common thing that people are abducted and they are kept in secret detention as secret prisoners it is a it is a one party police state right now debbie i want to show you a clip from a report the aljazeera dated back in february its about a student need of the Bangladesh National spotty who was abducted on the way to a Birthday Party and this is i want to back our spondon stalking to his wife have a listen debbie. Theres husband was abducted on his way to a Birthday Party he was a student leader of the bangor this nationalist party the main Opposition Force in the country that alleges number of the our it was on the 2nd of december 2013 it was his friend sons birthday hugh went out with 6 friends 4 of them are standing together at one corner and the other 2 are in front of the shop suddenly Security Forces got out and picked up 2 of them put didnt reach an advantage both were white. Very im just wondering with all of these cases the stories coming out of bangladesh are you working out who is it that is being abducted why are they being adopted are they all the same kind of people i think whats really scary to understand is that while the cases of people seem to oppose the ruling party have been targeted or have been highlighted you sensually the feeling is that anyone can be taken at any time it is a very strong climate of fear people do not feel safe whether they are going out of their house or even staying at home any time of the day and in this case simply going to a friends Birthday Party could soon a position of being grabbed and so that theres there doesnt seem to be very much consistency theres no sense that well im a high level or organizer and danger there are people who simply went to a rally or simply said something on facebook and they disappeared to. Let me share this with you because i did say that the government of bangladesh sent us a statement im going to share this with you. Reading treatise to how you respond to this the government strongly disputes reports about socalled disappearances of people in bangladesh the allegations of the manufacture it to discredit the government by its political opponents and have no basis in fact in many cases these disappearances of turn out to be attempts by people charged with crimes to avoid prosecution for fun g. To help me out with this theres something in your brother yes he was a criminal. No actually they can check there was no case against any criminal case in the police stations and where from our side our family im going to them to find him out wherever he is he its their responsibility to find him how do you know from independent country no one can we get is that theyre like this. All right tell you when you were a smiling laughing but no in a happy way when i read that statement and while im in the the statement if you look at it i mean it takes a special kind of psychopathy we do to come up with this kind of apology i mean what theyre claiming essentially is that more than 500 people have just disappeared have just decided that theyre not going to meet their mothers theyre not going to meet their daughters theyre not going to meet their son brother sister and theyre just going to do some i dont know elissa in wonderland kind of replace simply because they want to discredit the government im in i was expecting the government of bangladesh and india i mean obviously these are very smart people in charge of efficiently running the state or can would have done better. You know like instead of coming up with this loss it will cover story. Actually there is no you the thing is that you need actually bothered to come with some kind of manufactured excuse but if you talk to send you down to other families of this appeared as i did i managed to meet with some of the families of the disappeared when i was in bangladesh recently they went to the police and they were not they were not just told they not to give a report the police refused to take every part when he went back and he kept assisting they were not just told change the way but then later on track tend with being disciplined themselves because they were also your family also if i can add it is not only the families that are realizing it and you just not only know like journalists like me your human rights activists there do. I mean the former chief justice of bangladesh as to render kumar sinha has written a book in his memoir he specifically mentioned how the d. G. If i actually adox people and keeps them in secret prison equal to cut. Their use is not the instance where a Senior Police officer has actually had me to during a seminar he was bragging that crazy do you remember we actually abducted that doctor and no one actually could you know like do anything to us so he was practically bragging about this and Bangladesh Government as whenever we bring this case a student i mean 1st theyre trying to deflect and then they come up with this kind of very funny all adjustments and theyre not promised to investigate them theyre never doomed to see if these 3 but i think it is you that is why did the samples that you just listed there that is why were seeing comments like this on you tube this person mentions an acronym that you just mentioned thats a director at general of forces intelligence some sort of alum on you tube says every Single Person in. Bangladesh knows all of these disappearances are done by the ira be the. Police its an absolute and known fact hes not the only one someone else says actually this disappearance this is actually everyone knows the Government Agencies are involved but one other person on you tube writes actually these disappearances are a drama of the be in the b. N. P. Of course being the opposition the Bangladesh Nationalist Party so that seems to be the pushback people have what do you make of that back and forth there. The people who disappeared are not just members of the b. N. P. Are supporters of the b. N. P. They are ordinary people who may have spoken up on something some of them a labor activist some of them a student some of them people simply of express their opinion on facebook theyre not aligned to a Political Party so i dont think we can see oh this is a man effect that situation the reality is that there are hundreds of families out there in bangladesh still grieving and wondering whats happened to their loved ones and all the government can do is simply deny obvious and blame the victims and even threaten their families with and that enforced disappearance the reality is that enforced disappearance is a crime against humanity and its time for the government above where they actually did something and in a very transparent systematic mean sort of obs of skating i think at this point in that conversation its you want to hear from the government of bangladesh because there are so many accusations and theyre reluctant to talk about it apart from earlier on this year when galleries hes a Senior Adviser to the Prime Minister checked a singer was on head to head with medicare sam from al jazeera now before i play that clip i want to show you something this is a free armaan campaign and you can see the number of days since he was abducted armaan is a is a barrister bangladeshi barrister had been sent by hes known to his friends as ahmad so his lawyer during head to head aust well this question lets roll the tape were moving this government still pushing the ridiculous line the disappearances are not happening and will these men be released so they can return to the family. Room disappearances happen it is deplorable. And but i have also stated that this is not a government policy of moving people so where is his client i wouldnt know since you are the lawyer you tell us really is your plan you just want to respond when and with with proof there is credible evidence he was being held in dhaka can torment a military base in the middle of dhaka and thats credible evidence from foreign embassies and your government knows where he is no one believes that you dont know. Has been you were in the audience lets talk about waiving disappear people are going. Well we know about at least 3 secret prisons in in tarka city there are 2 in inside the dark a containment in military b. Is the headquarters of Bangladesh Military they are the headquarters of the d. G. A far away there are several holding. Units inside the headquarters compound and their ease in the Holding Facility a secret prison in another part of the continent its called the e. T. T. Headquarters and then there is rather one quarter in tora. Near the airport to know about these 3 secret detention facilities which are absolutely illegal not only under International Law but also under bangladeshi law and. We have now i smell a very naive question but what happens that what you know is happening to people that well at least in in case of their rather want water in torah i actually used to live right behind it many years back it is a it is a touch a chamber and the Guardian Newspaper actually ran in the city to report about that you know peoples fingernails being plucked out i have documented cases where people were tortured with dream machines but you know are in a very cynically there was a time when these 2 torture People Killed them and returned those bodies to the to the families but now this simply you know dispose of the bodies and they dont even let the families know what happened to do to their loved ones so in in in in a very cynical in a very. Sad really. No dead bodies are actually. Worse than having done bodies or torture marks and this is what is exactly happening in bangladesh today and people who i think mr goh horace the are coming coming International Channels like ours as iran and being you know theyre trying to help us with this missile reason actually promised during the trial i was in the audience that there will be investigations and i knew that there will be no investigations he is simply you know promising something that he cannot deliver we have not because this is a policy you know sort of we have this or we have not seen any investigation the 6 years and there are plenty of examples of people where a back and came back up to 2 years up to 3 years after 15 months and they hear the secret detention sales what is happening over there and. How the. Binded binding their eyes and how they are doing the torture inside the cell and they will the people who are under the top in of those sales actually they did even dont know where they are how they are moving from 11 place to the places so i can say like we have seen some loud dean who was found. Other side of the border so how come one person abducted by the Law Enforcement is involved in taka and then he is found later on in other crimes he. Said the border that there are plenty of examples of what happened and the government should reply on the actually government the way its average where they are replying that people are hiding themselves. So you got that story that you just told us and the excerpts we just heard from to steam as horrific as they are explain these 2 tweets that i want to share with you from the hunt for those who says authoritarian regimes use lots of tools to suppress opposition voices and people the reason behind using these tools is to create a reign of terror among people so that people will think twice before raising their voices or taking part in any protest against the regime we are always scared to speak out against the regime because of this widespread use of disappearances because family members of victims are put in an adverse situation they dont know whether their relative is alive or dead and its very painful to think about. It is not difficult we know for you to be able to be part of an organization thats so public speaking about Something Like this do you face threats you and your mother. We are facing that the last 6 years and when you started standing for the human genome started campaigning for my brothers as. Filing the idea to get in our case so we have started doing the human chain in press conferences so that that comes to the. Front of them so that they can do anything and so that they can actually can inform the public by dancing their elected selected goldman sunday to me i ask it im going to show everybody little bit of the report that we did have a few things share and theres a picture of you your brother is always close to literally you have a look here on my desktop everybody so you can see what i say on my laptop take a great. Question theres a picture of your prophet do you know where he is right now i still billing. The they have doctored up. One of the few Office Shields have shared with you was taken from rab 12 that hit us to be on 2013 and the us giving there were keeping the secret since actually so i still believe i still believe as you know they little you feel they his ally he is alive and i want my brother back i want my brother back because. Only supporting the Opposition Party being activists for the opposition but it cannot be a reason. Debbie let me share this with you again were going back to the statement that the government of bangladesh sent to us and they put this whole issue in context from their perspective since the 26000 terror attack on the costs wholly artist and bakery individual seeking to join banned extremist organizations or who left bangladesh to join jihadist groups have been using the term inforce disappearances to conceal their actions that last sentence really let out at me your response to that is what its a very cynical use of the fear of terrorism to to do once again deny that theres such a thing as enforcers appearances these enforced disappearances were happening before 2016 and theyre happening right now and what they have done to sun judah and all these families is not only threatening them denying them or marginalizing them theyve also been torturing them i said by implying that if families kept quiet then media love ones will be returned and so when women when the women of my going out there and standing out and calling for the return of their loved ones theyre doing theyre under the threat that somehow speaking out will actually prevent the family members from being. And that is about torture thats what were going to leave it to has name thank you very much for telling us what is happening from your perspective to the enforced disappeared in bangladesh thank you so much for joining us and you can i will join you again the strain but in the meantime you can always see us at a stream on twitter.

Commander in chief also says he is in no hurry to launch any action also jabari is standing by for us in tehran but 1st lets go straight to our White House Correspondent Kimberly Halkett who is out the white outside the white house in washington d. C. So can you tell us more about what donald trump has been saying. Yeah pretty astonishing tweets coming from the u. S. President that americans have been waking up to not only for some of them the news that there had been planes in the air that the president called back but then the president following up with Early Morning tweets giving us some insight into why and how he made that decision take a listen and follow along with me here the president writes in his tweets on monday or on shot down an unmanned drone flying in International Waters we were cocked and loaded to retaliate last night of 3 different sites when i asked how many will die 150 people sir was the answer from a general 10 months before rather 10 minutes before the strike i stopped it proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone i am in no hurry our military is rebuilt new and ready to go by far the best in the world sanctions are biting and more added last night iran can never have Nuclear Weapons not against the usa and not against the world nick pretty interesting sort of insights from the us president there essentially making the argument that he feels that the human casualties that would have been inflicted by the United States on those 3 sites we know infrastructure that was necessary to essentially shoot down that unmanned drone of the United States that it would result in casualties and those casualties the president did not feel were proportionate to the fact that piece of aircraft flew into the ocean or was downed into the ocean but that no one died as a result of this it seems the president once again as we heard from the oval office on thursday seems to be trying to leave the space for discussions with the iranian leadership something hes expressed hes willing to do to try to deescalate this but also at the same time continuing that socalled maximum Pressure Campaign of those very biting and tough economic sanctions but how about capitol hill will do position there in terms of. Where this is heading. Yeah up until the last week when we had of course the attack on the 2 tankers in the gulf of oman and also this downed u. S. Drone it seems there was a lot of concern by the members of Congress Democrats and republicans that the trumpet ministration was being too hockridge that the president was listening to people like the National Security advisor john bolton who have openly advocated for strikes on iran but we didnt hear that same kind of reticence about this action by the administration from both democrats and republicans when they met here in the situation room at the white house really we assume to be briefed on what was imminent instead what we heard is an acknowledgement that they believe that the United States in the words of nancy pelosi is a bad actor that they were convinced of the intelligence being put forward by the United States pointing the finger at a rather there was concern for u. S. Interests in the region but at the same time nic theres also concern being expressed by members of congress that the response needs to be measured and also theres a need to work in coordination with u. S. Allies to see that these tensions deescalate thanks very much about severe from the white house in washington d. C. Thats been across to terror on iran those who do bari is standing by and adults iranian media has released what it says the pictures of fragments of the civilians during that was shot down what more can you tell us about the. Well nic we heard from the head of irans revolutionary Guard Aerospace the vision who put on this play bits and pieces that were found there retrieved after the strong went down and they put this these pieces on this play for the needy and this is where this military revolutionary guard commander said that they actually had a 2nd plane within the iranian air space that had 35 people on board but it was a military plane and that the iranians gave warning so that plane and that plane did listen to those warnings and turn around and left the iranian airspace theres a lot more detail that has unfolded as the has come out today lets take a look at the days developments. These are allegedly parts of the u. S. Drone that iran shot down over the strait of hormuz iran says a drone was in its airspace. As in the post forces showed that on National Security is a red line we gave a warning to the stone in 2 steps and several times in each step this drone has a Communication System which transfers the message back to base on a 40 they didnt respond to give a last warning at 355 and when it continued into a territory it was shut down for 5. Iranian reports that this aircraft was shot down over iran are trying to go work we felt the aircraft was able to the strait of hormuz and fell into International Waters in a meeting with the canadian Prime Minister on thursday trump had this to say i think probably. I made a mistake i would imagine it was a general or somebody that made a mistake in shooting that drone down i find it hard to believe it was intentional if you want to know the truth i think that it could have been somebody who was loose and stupid president has made clear in the past he favors some form of negotiation to resolve the crisis rather than armed action but the situation remains extremely volatile Many International airliners are now voting in the area. Just last week to oil tankers were targeted in the strait of hormuz the us blamed the iranians the iranians the 9 volt meant. Also that you do wonder what the mood must be on the streets of tehran especially in the lights of Donald Trumps recent tweets which revealed that iran was 10 minutes away from attack. Yes certainly nic whats interesting is a few people i spoke to this morning before any of this came out just ordinary iranians and they said to me well we shot down an unmanned drone there was no personnel on board why would the americans want to attack us when we would know that there will be civilian casualties they pose the exact same question that was brought up by the u. S. President that it doesnt make any sense so there is a sense here that this is not something that will likely happen the there is a sense of this belief and that is really not reality its not going to happen any time soon but in the meantime the iranians are cautious that it is a very tense time they are worried that any kind of a misstep from anybody within iran could set something off and weve really seen a number of escalations over the past 2 weeks in the gulf of oman in the drone attack a number of things so a lot of people are cautious but theyre hopeful that they will not be any military action and theyre theyre confident that the iranian government will do everything in its power to try and negotiate their way out of this crisis or adult so thanks very much lets take this on we can speak to scrooge whos an assistant professor in the defense studies Defense Studies Department at Kings College london and joins us from london right now is welcome to the program and thats the thing isnt it everybodys been talking about the dangers of a potential misstep happening in seems over the last 24 hours weve been pretty close to it. Yes for the last 6 weeks weve been talking about tension tension rising and potential or nonstate actors exploiting that and spoiling this tension to create a massive escalation as it seems now the iranians have chosen to take this escalation a step further and actually shooting down a drone and doing so with their own military rather than using sorry goods as was expected maybe a month or 6 weeks ago but obviously we have to see that within the light of this maximum pressure complain that the has been rising over the last over the last more than a year now which was you know a very hostile rhetoric massive sanctions on various sectors directly hitting the g. C. The revolutionary guards and all that is being perceived in iran as an act of as as an act of or was forced against the Islamic Republic and theyre now responding to it and saying look we you know we have our own red lines and one of them is our sovereignty and if you if you infringe on that sovereignty with a spy plane or even if its a manned were going to take action and respond and so they have done but what we see now is that both sides have escalated to an extent where there is really no further escalation without really passing this threshold of war so so far weve been under the threshold of war i think the downing of a spy unmanned spy drone is also something that remains under the threshold of war and so thats why i think weve seen restraint weve seen restraint on the iranian side in the rain is was saying we are unwilling to hit a manned aircraft this p. 8 that was also flying in that area and the same time we see donald trump exercising restraint because you know hes going into into election and into complains into for 2020 and he knows that a war in the middle east is highly unpopular with his base across the country and its very he himself as always said hes not interested in another military escalation no major combat operation and both sides understand there is very little you can do in terms of surgical strikes without actually. Blowing this entire powder keg open and thats why i think were now at this very very very tense Tipping Point where both sides should agree and should understand that there is no further pushing the envelope without going into major combat operations and at this point i think diplomacy is very ripe and i think that the americans at this point old at this point also understand that probably the iranians were tested and the rain is responding with a lot of resolve and they are the ones that are in the drivers seat here because they control quite a lot of assets across the region and they have a political will that the americans dont have i just think you know this kind of context is going to pick up on the point you made about donald trump exercising restraint he didnt exercise restraint but only 10 minutes before the trigger was about to be pulled as it were. Because when he found out that or you asked the question about how many fatalities there could be and he was told more than 100. 00 is now the question that you would ask before any deployment was made at all he should have all said right at the beginning why would
