Bangladesh commission says Sheikh Hasina involved in enforced disappearances

An inquiry commission set up by the interim government in Bangladesh said in a provisional report that it has found ex-premier Sheikh Hasina's involvement in alleged incidents of enforced disappearance.

The Commission for Inquiry on Enforced Disappearance estimated that the number of enforced disappearances would be over 3,500.

"The commission has found evidence of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina's involvement as the instructor in the incidents of enforced disappearance," the press wing of the office of Chief Adviser (CA) of de facto Prime Minister Muhammad Yunus said in a statement on Saturday night.
