Every Victim of Enforced Disappearance
Counting the Silenced
As of today, around 1,800 people have been officially reported as victims of enforced disappearance in Bangladesh from 2009 under the past Awami regime,, according to the GOOM Commission.
However, the actual number is estimated to exceed 3,000.
But enforced disappearances in Bangladesh first trace back to 1972, when Sector Commander Major Jalil was forcibly disappeared by the Indian Army, followed by Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini of BKSAL.
While those cases were never officially recorded, the pattern of disappearances continues today.
These disappearances leave families in despair, searching for justice that remains out of reach. Every missing person is a stolen life and it’s time to shine a light on their stories and demand accountability.
