The chief prosecutor of the International Crimes Tribunal, Md Aminul Islam, stated on Wednesday that 280 individuals who were victims of enforced disappearance have still not returned. He made the remarks at the tribunal, noting that their fate remains unknown.

Investigation Ongoing

Aminul Islam said the tribunal's investigation agency is probing these disappearance cases. The commission's list includes 280 names of individuals whose whereabouts remain untraced. He assured that their families will receive justice.

Politically Motivated Abductions

The chief prosecutor highlighted that people were abducted with political or state patronage whenever elections or other occasions arose. "They were taken away and killed in the name of crossfire or made to disappear. Many of them have not been traced to date," he said.

Legal Measures

The government has already enacted a law on the prevention and redressal of enforced disappearances. Sources indicate that families of the victims can seek legal remedy under this law.
