Drawing on years of work with families of the disappeared, this piece asks who can credibly investigate enforced disappearance in Bangladesh when the very institutions accused of carrying it out are the ones tasked with examining the allegations.

The Mayer Daak movement in Bangladesh has emerged as a powerful symbol of resistance.

Families of the victims of enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and those martyred and maimed in the July mass uprising yesterday demanded that ousted Sheikh Hasina and her party be brought to book.

Many victims injured in the July uprising, including those who lost their eyes or other body parts, also attended the rally.
