Brief description of the incident:
I was studying at a madrasa in Gulistan, Banshal. One afternoon in 2021, I went to the southern part of Gulistan to do some shopping. Suddenly, a black HiAce van stopped beside me. Some men in plain clothes told me to come closer. They pressed a gun to my stomach and ordered me to get into the van. As soon as I got in, they blindfolded me and tied my hands.
I don’t know where they first took me, but they moved me to several places. Eventually, while eating, I noticed the word “rep7 Chattogram” written on the plate. I was kept in detention there for about 18–19 months. Later, they staged a fake militant drama in the Bandarban hills and handed me over to prison.
While I was disappeared, I was brutally beaten, my family was harassed, and they extorted a large amount of money from us with the promise of releasing me. After the fall of the government, I was released from prison following nearly two years of imprisonment.
My demand is for compensation for my financial losses and the dismissal of the false cases filed against me.
